Wacky Races (1968 TV series) The series is sometimes mistakenly known as "Stop the Pigeon", after the show's working title and theme song. Both series ran for two seasons. In 2006, the pilot for a spin-off series titled "Wacky Races Forever" was produced for Cartoon Network. The series depicted a roster of both new and returning racers competing against each other. Penelope Pitstop and Peter Perfect had married and created Perfect Industries, the corporate sponsor of the new Wacky Races, whereas their children Parker and Piper competed in the race. Other characters included the Slag Brothers, Professor Pat Pending, a teenage version of the Gruesome
Wacky Races (1968 TV series) Twosome, and Dick Dastardly and Muttley (working for a new villain named Mr. Viceroy, who sought to steal Perfect Industries). The series was not picked up by Cartoon Network for the reasons that the traditional humor the pilot had was not what the newer generation of kids wanted. In 2016, DC Comics launched a comic series called "Wacky Raceland". It is a dark and gritty re-imagining of the series set after the apocalypse in a similar vein to the "Mad Max" franchise. The comic ran for six issues from May to December 2016. A remake – also produced by Hanna-Barbera
