Popeye and Son is an American animated comedy series based on the Popeye comic strip created by E.C. Segar and published by King Features Syndicate. Jointly produced by Hanna-Barbera and King Features subsidiary King Features Entertainment, the series aired for one season of thirteen episodes on CBS. It is a follow-up to The All New Popeye Hour. Maurice LaMarche performed the voice of Popeye in this series (succeeding Jack Mercer in that role), while much of the cast of The All New Popeye Hour reprised their respective roles, with the exception of Daws Butler. However, Nancy Cartwright, who was trained by Butler, voiced Woody in the series. It is also the first set of Popeye cartoons that were produced since Mercer's death in 1984. Following its original run on CBS, this series reran on the USA Network in the 1989–90 season and on The Family Channel from September 1994 to December 1995. Overview Now married, Popeye and his longtime girlfriend Olive Oyl have a son named Popeye Jr. (or simply "Junior"), who has inherited Popeye's ability to gain superhuman strength from eating spinach; much to his father's disappointment, however, Junior hates the taste of spinach (instead, he prefers hamburgers, like Wimpy), although he eats spinach anyway should any trouble come his way. Popeye's longtime rival Bluto also has a wife, Lizzie, and a son, Tank. Like old times, Popeye and Bluto possess an intense mutual hatred, but Junior and Tank do not.
