Gary M (oldrushfan5) I watched this avidly when it came out, my Father bought me my first Hot Wheel (Silhouette, blue) in '68, at a K-mart in Ann Arbor and had those same cars that were in the cartoon. My collection still grows, though not as fast as it did in the '60s, 70s. Latest acquisition, The Batman Vs Superman Batmobile.(always purchase two, and keep one in original packaging) Of course I was a child of the '60s-'70s, so the cartoon fit right in with the times. Of COURSE it was a commercial for the fans, but what about when G.I. Joe (the smaller figures, not the original 13 in. ones, of which I had a Navy guy) Why didn't the FTC shut THOSE down? They were in the very same category, along with GO bots, Transformers, My Little Pony, Care Bears, and all the other toys with cartoons bunch....I have given up on ANY governmental agency being FAIR, I guess....
richard.fuller1 In case I am grossly in error, let me say I think this was the first cartoon we learned of on the then-new ABC network, as we were visiting someone else.Up to that time, I seem to recall the CBS lineup of Smokey the Bear, Casper, tom and Jerry, among others, or Hot Wheels was on this network anyway. (Well, old comic book ads do have Hot Wheels on the same network with Casper and Smokey the Bear). Either way, the pounding theme repeating "Hot Wheels! Hot Wheels!" as tho it was composed lyrics sticks in a four-yr-old head.Because of this distinction, I eventually sought the show on Ebay and came across three episodes, and about three of the Skyhawks show as well, which I have no recollection of.Definitely enjoyed Hot Wheels, even tho about only one episode is in color (well, hey, we had a black and white back then anyway. Actually, when it aired, we did have that big color TV) It was a basic setup. The heroic Jack Wheeler, his father who owned or managed the Hot Wheels group, mini-skirted chickie, a tomboy, and another preppie white kid.The strangest one, at this time when blacks were entering TV programs as mere tokens, here we have an Arabian black youth, with a small turban on his head.and then we have the sinister Dexter, rich kid voiced superbly by Casey Kasem. Dexter has his gang of sidekicks, a long-haired motorcycle bunch.they all go to the hamburger hangout, Mothers, who I actually recall this woman. She was pleased to see the Hot Wheels kids, not so happy when Dexter showed up.Animation not on par with Scooby Doo or Jonny Quest or Space Ghost, I find the show strangely enticing and enjoyable in all its simplicity.Would love to see more of them sometime. and I didn't buy a single Hot Wheels car.well, not like I didn't see them thanks to my brothers and the kids in the neighborhood.The tape also has commercials on the first episode, cereal ads and a Shasta commercial narrated by Tom Bosley.There is also an ad for Henry Fonda in a failed TV show, The Smith Family.
Brian Washington A some of the other posters have mentioned, this and "Skyhawks" were probably the earliest examples of cartoon series that had a toy tie in. Of course, this was several years before shows like "Transformers", "He Man" and "GI Joe" would hit the airwaves and would make weekday afternoons into a virtual infomercial for various toys. However, this show was one of the first and probably one of the best. I still fondly remember it and I would look forward to watching it on Saturday morning. At least they had some cool animation to make you keep watching even if you didn't want the toys. Of course, I did get plenty of Hot Wheels cars as well as the tracks, but this cartoon really didn't have an impact on my decision. Besides, I was only three years old at the time.This definitely is a lost classic.
David Takeuchi I doubt the original posters will check back here since the comments are all several years apart but for future visitors here is a little more info. Mattel sold at least three cars from the show. I have three(yes, still have them!): the Jack Rabbit Special which was white and blue, the Sand Crab (the only one I have that is not the same color as the show's. Mine is hot pink.) and the Demon (Dexter's car). I read the lyrics posted and could not even come close to envisioning the melody. I am glad that my memory is not that cluttered. I don't know why, but I kept my cars, but I am glad that I did. They aren't in great shape because I actually played with them. I still regret taking my double decker super charger to the dump, because it still worked great.
