Peter Potamus and His Magic Flying Balloon was an animated comedy airing in syndication and then later on ABC.

Peter was a Quixotic purple hippo piloting a hot air balloon that had a dial with which he and his monkey companion So-So could travel back in time and lend a hand to past figures in need. Also featured on the show were Breezly and Sneezly (a polar bear and a seal who frequently infringed on an Arctic army base) and Yippey, Yappey and Yahooey (a trio of Medieval canines who haphazardly guarded a dyspeptic king--the three were informally known as "The Goofy Guards").

When the show began a run on ABC in 1966, it was retitled The Peter Potamus Show, and Breezly and Sneezly traded places with Ricochet Rabbit from companion Hanna-Barbera series Magilla Gorilla.

In 2003, Peter would become a sex-crazed assistant on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
