THE NEW SHMOO

Shmoo was a strange creature created by illustrator/writer, Al Capp, for his "Li'l Abner" comic strip in the early 1950’s
.  Resembling a blob of white with eyes, mouth, whiskers and two legs, that was known to lay eggs and give milk. These all purpose food sources lived in the valley of the Schmoon. In 1979,  Schmoo appeared in the NBC animated cartoon THE NEW SCHMOO as an assistant of three young reporters---The shy and smart Mickey, the strong but scary cat Billy Joe and Nita the leader of the group, that became the first Hispanic woman in cartoon history to appear as a leader in a show.  They all worked for "Mighty Mysteries Comics". Together, the foursome fought crime and investigated supernatural goings-on. This series was created by the Hanna Barbera Studios, unfortunately it didn’t work and only lasted  7 episodes ( 2 months).  Later the same cartoon was incorporated into the animated series FRED AND BARNEY  MEET THE SCHMOO / NBC / 1979-80, that later turned in to “The Flinstones Comedy Show”, in which Fred and Barney were Bedrock Cops and Schmoo helped them to solved the cases.  This show was very interesting and entertaining for the 6 segments it had:  Flintstone Family Adventures with further comic misadventures of the Flintstones and Rubbles, Pebbles, Dino and Bamm-Bamm with the trio solving various mini-mysteries, Captain Caveman with Betty and Wilma as reporters being  rescued by the prehistoric superhero, Dino and Cavemouse, The Frankenstones and of course Bedrock Cops with Fred and Barney partnered with the Shmoo as part-time deputies. There were also filler segments in between the cartoons of the various characters doing games and puzzles for the viewing audience.  After the Flintstones Comedy Show no other version of the Schmoo character has been created.
