The New Shmoo

"The New Shmoo" was a 1979 cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC about a group of teenagers — Mickey, Nita and Billy Joe — who solve mysteries and crimes with their friend, Shmoo, a character from Al Capp's newspaper comic strip, "Li'l Abner". The teens worked for Mighty Mysteries Comics.

During the original NBC run, the program included a short segment called "Sing Along With The Shmoo". In a manner reminiscent of "Screen Songs", Shmoo became a bouncing ball, providing visual guidance to song lyrics so that viewers could sing along with the cartoon. The show's episodes were rerun later that same year on "Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo".
