Wacky Races
''Wacky Races'' is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Heatter-Quigley Productions. The series, inspired by the 1965 slapstick comedy film ''The Great Race'', features 11 different cars racing against each other in various road rallies throughout North America,〔Only three of the 34 rallies took place outside the Contiguous United States: one entirely within Baja California; one across a substantial portion of Canada evidently along or near the Trans-Canada Highway; and one across the Canada-US border from Saskatchewan to Oregon.〕 with each driver hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer." The cartoon had a large number of regular characters, with 23 people and animals spread among the 11 race cars. The show ran on CBS from September 14, 1968, to January 4, 1969. 17 episodes were produced, with each episode featuring two different races.
==Background==
One of the unused plans for the series was that the races would be part of a live-action quiz show made by Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley Productions in which contestants would bet on which Wacky Racer would cross the finish line first. Although the game show concept was eventually scrapped, the series still retained a Hanna-Barbera/Heatter-Quigley dual production credit. Like Orion's back catalog from the 1978–1982 joint venture period and some post-1982 films, it is one of the few Heatter-Quigley series not currently owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's subsidiary Orion Pictures Corporation since September 11, 2014. The MGM studio is where Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera got its start with ''Puss Gets the Boot''. In 1988, a made-for-television movie, ''Around the World with the Wacky Racers'', was planned as part of the ''Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10'' series of telefilms, but it never got past the concept stage.
