Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids was a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1973 for NBC. Very similar to both Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and Josie and the Pussycats, the show depicted the adventures of a team of teenage intelligence agents (Butch, Merilee, Stephanie, Harvey, and Harvey's dog Elvis) who, working undercover as a rock band called "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kids", solved mysteries and apprehended criminals. The teens were advised by a supercomputer named "Mr. Socrates".
The title is a play on the 1969 Western film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which otherwise is not connected to the series.
Micky Dolenz, formerly the drummer and most commonly-used singer of the group The Monkees, provided the voice of Harvey.
Butch and friends all guest-starred as members of Pod Six in the Adult Swim animated television series Sealab 2021 in the episode, "Let 'Em Eat Corn!". The character models for Butch and Harvey were also used for the animated likeness of John Miller (the series director) and Adam Reed (one of the series writers) in the episode, "Swimming in Oblivion".
