The Great Grape Ape Show

Show Summary

Aired: 1975 - 1977
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

The titular character is a 40 foot tall gorilla (voiced by Bob Holt) who loves grapes...so much, he goes bananas! His catchphrase is repeating his name twice ("Grape Ape, Grape Ape") after anything anyone says, usually as a form of agreement or acknowledgement of what was said. He travels the countryside with his canine pal (voiced by Marty Ingels), Beegle Beagle (whom he calls "Beegley Beagley"). Grape Ape's immense size tends to initially shock and frighten those unfamiliar with him, and his presence alone has often terrified people, animals, and even a road sign once, causing them to run off screaming invariably: "YEOW!A gorill-ill-ill-ill-la!"

The show was originally broadcast as one of the segments of The New Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show during the 1975–1976 season. For the 1976–1977 season, the show became The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show, and in 1977 Grape Ape became its own half-hour show on Sunday Mornings. 32 10-minute installments of The Great Grape Ape Show were made; 2 were aired per show.
