The All-New Popeye Hour is a children's animated comedy that aired on CBS. It was the second series based on Popeye. Each episodes featured various segments, including The Adventures of Popeye, Popeye's Sports Parade, Popeye's Treasure Hunt and Dinky Dog, which was a completely different segment which did not include any Popeye related characters.
Each hour featured three Popeye cartoons (the violence incredibly diluted to offset TV watchdog complaints), and Popeye's Treasure Hunt, which had Popeye and Olive following clues to a treasure each week, with Bluto following them in an attempt to get the treasure for himself. The new feature Dinky Dog were misadventures of a giant sheepdog and the two girls who own him. Also included were pro-social interstititals with Popeye and his nephews. In season two, Treasure Hunt was replaced by Popeye's Sports Parade, which had Popeye competing against Bluto in various events. (Treasure Hunt would be revived in a way in 1985 as Yogi's Treasure Hunt, starring a passel of Hanna-Barbera stars).
In 1981, the show was reduced to a half hour and renamed The Popeye and Olive Comedy Show.
Hanna-Barbera Productions co-produced the series with Popeye licensor King Features Syndicate. Warner Bros. Television is the show's distributor.
