Fasten your seat belts for all 17 original episodes plus Hilarious, High-Speed Extras that will keep you awake at the wheel straight through to the Finish Line!
Fun Fact: A two-and-a-half-hour VHS video was made available in 1996.
Additionally, the show had gotten a DVD release by Warner Bros. as a “Hanna-Berbera Classic Collection:”/
The cartoon had many regular characters, with 23 people and animals on the 11 race cars. After its network run on CBS, Wacky Races ran in syndication from 1976 to 1982. Seventeen 20-minute episodes were produced, with each of them featuring two 10-minute segments.
The show gave the results of each race at the end of each episode (the first, second, and third placings are given by the narrator, and the narrative sometimes saw some or all of the other cars cross the finish line) as well as what happened with Dick Dastardly after his last scheme's failure. The show never indicated a particular scoring system or way to determine who won the Wacky Races as a whole.
