hanna barbera suck the life out of another famous property . the violence be water down and the story be formulaic and the animation be bad and the music be obnoxious and repetitive and and frankly and the show just isn not funny . at the time and h b put every one of it series through the same clichéd situation and regardless if it fit the world of the cartoon or not . thus and popeye and bluto appear in a recur segment a caveman ( hey . popeye be popular and and the flinstones be popular . put em together and and you can not miss . ) . also and in an apparent ripoff of private benjamin and olive oyl and the goon have a regular segment that feature them a new army recruit . seriously . why . add to the annoyance factor be the public service announcement in every episode ( standard practice at the time for cartoon and but still annoy ) . popeye lecture his nephew on cross the street safely and recycle and and be you ready for this . the danger of smoking . ( i swear i be not make that up . ) the only charm remain from the original cartoon be that jack mercer and the voice of popeye from the early day and continue the role here . worth check out once just to get a new appreciation for the old fleischer short . otherwise and avoid at all cost .
