Reruns continued on ABC until September 3, 1978.<ref name=Woolery>{{cite book |last1=Woolery |first1=George W. |title=Children's Television: The First Thirty-Five Years, 1946-1981 |date=1983 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=0-8108-1557-5 |url=https://archive.org/details/childrenstelevis0000wool |url-access=registration |access-date=14 March 2020 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/childrenstelevis0000wool/page/149 149]-150}}</ref>

==Premise==
Jabberjaw, a {{convert|15|ft|abbr=on}} long amphibious [[great white shark]], is the drummer for The Neptunes, a rock group made up of four humans—Biff, Shelly, Bubbles and Clamhead—who live in an underwater civilization.<ref name=Woolery/> Jabberjaw and The Neptunes travel to various underwater cities where they encounter and deal with assorted megalomaniacs and supervillains who want to conquer the undersea world.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rovin |first1=Jeff |title=The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cartoon Animals |date=1991 |publisher=Prentice Hall Press |isbn=0-13-275561-0 |access-date=8 April 2020 |url=https://archive.org/details/illustratedencyc00rovi/page/134/mode/2up/ |page=135}}</ref>

Like a great deal of Hanna-Barbera's 1970s output, the format and writing for ''Jabberjaw'' was similar to that for ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.digitalmediafx.com/Features/animationhistory.html |title=The History of Animation: Advantages and Disadvantages of the Studio System in the Production of an Art Form |access-date=2009-01-31 |last=Crandol |first=Michael |year=1999 |work=Digital Media FX |publisher=Joe Tracy |archive-date=2011-08-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110821045040/http://www.digitalmediafx.com/Features/animationhistory.html |url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats]]'' and ''[[Speed Buggy]]''.<ref name=Perlmutter>{{cite book |last1=Perlmutter |first1=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |page=307}}</ref> The show also drew inspiration (in the use of a [[shark]] as a character) from the overall shark mania of the mid-1970s<ref>{{cite book |title=Hanna-Barbera Cartoons |last=Mallory |first=Michael |year=1998 |publisher=Warner Bros., Hugh Lauter Levin Associates Inc. |isbn=0-88363-108-3}}</ref> caused by the then-recent film ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]''. It also shared ''[[The Flintstones]]''' penchant for making use of puns as the names of locations, people, etc., in this case, ocean-themed puns (such as "Aqualaska" instead of [[Alaska]]). Every episode ended with a musical chase sequence where Jabberjaw and the gang would run from the villains, performing zany cartoon antics in order to escape while a song by The Neptunes played in the background.

==Characters==
[[File:Jabberjaw and The Neptunes.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Jabberjaw and The Neptunes. Counterclockwise: Jabberjaw (drums), Bubbles (keyboard), Biff (guitar), Shelly (tambourine) and Clamhead (bass).]]
* '''Jabberjaw''' (voiced by [[Frank Welker]] impersonating [[Curly Howard]]) is an air-breathing, [[Brooklyn]]-accented [[anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] [[great white shark]] with mannerisms similar to Curly of [[The Three Stooges]]. Jabberjaw found it hard to get respect in a society where "shark ejectors" ([[robot]]s that would guard various buildings or cities from sharks entering) were commonplace. These robots, as well as unpleasant treatment from others, frequently prompt him to utter some variation of his catchphrase (borrowed from the [[comedian]] [[Rodney Dangerfield]]): "''I don't get no respect!''" He has the unique ability to change his shape or adapt himself to act like various objects such as a trampoline, parachute, jack, throw rug, etc., either to get himself and the gang out of a jam, or just to hide.
* '''Biff''' (voiced by [[Tommy Cook (actor)|Tommy Cook]]) is an athletic, handsome, brown-haired young man who is the band's [[guitar|guitar player]] and level-headed leader who books all the gigs. In many episodes, his hair is drawn black. His main catchphrase is ''"Jumpin' jellyfish!"'' (occasionally, ''"Hoppin' halibut!"'')
* '''Shelly''' (voiced by [[Patricia Parris]]) is a dark-haired young woman who plays [[tambourine]] and sings backup vocals for The Neptunes. She is beautiful and intelligent, but haughty, vain, and abrasive (like ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats']]'' [[Josie and the Pussycats (comics)#Alexandra Cabot and Sebastian|Alexandra]]) and considers herself to be the star of the band. While she holds a great deal of disdain for Jabberjaw (or "''Blubberhead''" as she calls him), she does have some grudging fondness for him deep down and occasionally shows it.
* '''Bubbles''' (voiced by [[Julie McWhirter]]) is a young woman with blonde curly hair who plays [[Electronic keyboard|keyboard]] for The Neptunes. She is extremely ditzy and dimwitted, has a cute giggle, similar to ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats']]'' [[Josie and the Pussycats (comics)#Melody|Melody]]. Shelly sometimes nicknames her "''Ding-a-Ling''" or "''Bubblehead''". Whenever she volunteers to help, she usually ends up messing it up.
* '''Clamhead''' (voiced by [[Barry Gordon]]) is a tall and slim, red-haired young man who plays [[Double bass|bass]] for The Neptunes and is Jabberjaw's best friend. His catchphrases are crying out "''Abba-abba-abba!''" and "''Wowee-wow-wow-wow!''" (or some variation, commonly featuring the word "zowie") whenever he gets excited.<ref>America Toons In: A History of Television Animation By David Perlmutter page 154</ref>

==Broadcast history==
Sixteen 30-minute episodes of ''Jabberjaw'' were produced, which aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] Saturday Morning from September 11, 1976, to September 3, 1977, and rebroadcast for a second season of reruns on Sunday Morning from September 11, 1977, to September 3, 1978.
