The greatest movie ever!
Billie Morin
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Janae Milner
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

WE DO RECALL catching some of the episodes of this short lived HANNA BARBERA Catoon series. There seemed to be some similarities to others in their stable, done up in combination.IN MUCH THE same mode as H & B's MOBY DICK, the action and adventure takes place in "Davy Jones' Locker" (that's underwater, Schultz!). From the highly successful SCOOBY DOO Franchise, we get the idea of an intelligent animal getting in on the action and dialog.INSTEAD OF MAKING use of "Man's Best Friend", the series opted for exploiting all of the hysteria and publicity generated by JAWS (Universal, 1975), we got JABBERJAW, a Great White Shark with the voice and mannerisms of THE 3 STOOGES' Curly Howard! AS GREAT OF a stretch as this is, we thought it to be an extremely, outrageously funny concept. Why in addition to the voice and various 'screams' and 'nyuks', Jabberjaw would use his front fins in the same manner as would Curly do his arms.BUT EVEN THOUGH JJ had the facial appearance and rotund physique of the admittedly funniest of the Stooges, the series bit the dust and had a short life.

An example of a low point in Saturday morning cartoons, this particular series lumped together several concepts into a mess of show. Jabberjaw (capitalizing on the popularity of the movie "Jaws") is a talking shark who sounds like Curly Howard (leading the way for other insipid Three Stooges-inspired cartoons, including "The Three Robotic Stooges") and who mutters "I get no respect" (a nod to Rodney Dangerfield?). He travels with a band "The Neptunes" (like "Josie and the Pussycats" and countless other H-B cartoons) in a futuristic undersea realm (Sealab 2020) taking on various villains' nefarious schemes ("Scooby Doo, Where Are You", etc.).Thanks to Turner's Boomerang channel for reminding me how much I hated this cartoon as a kid. It was around this time that I realized that my favorite cartoons were "Looney Tunes" and "Rocky and Bullwinkle" - cartoons that were made in previous decades aimed at general audiences and not patronizing to kids.

All through the 70s Hanna-Barbera released cartoons with the same format(adventure,music,and mysteries). Jabberjaw lasted only a year (1976-1977) and aired reruns the following year. This cartoon was like Scooby Doo except it is set to be underwater and they are a musical band which the star of the show is the drummer. I don't know what Bill and Joe were thinking when they created this cartoon but it sucks. It's strictly a copycat of Josie & The Pussycats and Scooby doo. A guy that's the leader,two girls,and the star's sidekick buddy. Not only Jabber there was the Amazing Chan Clan,Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kids,the Partridge family A.D. bulls*** etc. These cartoons didn't last long and wasn't original. Hanna-Barbera most successful mystery,adventure,music cartoon will always be Josie & The Pussycats.

This show really sucked. It was another horrible "Scooby-Doo" ripoff show (something Hanna-Barbera did A LOT in the 1970's), execpt instead of a Great Dane for a title character, we have a Shark (but a really lame shark at that) who is protecting a band called "The Neptunes" (They do have a bit in common to our well known sleuths on "Scooby-Doo"), and in the process, they all solve mysteries. But the worst thing about this show is how Jabberjaw uses Rodney Dangerfield's signature "No Respect!" line, and Curly Howard's signature "Nyuk-Nyuk" line. What is up with that? Why didn't Dangerfield sue? Why didn't the Howard family sue (If these were my lines, I'd be taking Hanna-Barbera to court)? I guess that's a question for another time.Bottom line: This show sucks.
