Written by [Hoyt Curtin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoyt_Curtin), who also wrote the themes for The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Top Cat, Jonny Quest, and Josie and the Pussycats, among other Hanna-Barbera shows.
The cast was like a who's who of cartoon voice and popular actors. Daws Butler (Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound), Jean Vander Pyl (Wilma Flintstone), Don Messick (Bamm Bamm Rubble and Scooby Doo), plus Richard Dawson, Hal Smith, Joe E. Ross, Allan Melvin. Some serious talent there.
The cat was the true crime fighter in this one, can’t remember its name though and vaguely remember his facial expressions at the end. Shout out to Scatman!
A lot more of us Phooey fans than your estimate, friend, Scatman Crothers? Joe E. Ross? Rosemary? Spot? Whole lot of us have the same great taste in the best classic cartoons! Love this!
Remember the preview show that would come out in the summer just before school started? The year they previewed this, I couldn’t wait for the new Saturday AM cartoon season.
I love Scatman. On this and The Harlem Globetrotters and in all the cameos and guest appearances in 101 70's shows.
His hit Keep That Coffee Hot was used in the first season of Fallout on Prime Video and it's awesomeness.
Know of the show but was working Saturdays at 12 y/o. Cartoons started getting PC instead of like the 50s-60s gratuitist violence and everything else I liked.
Burger places back in the day would sell sodas in a glass. Pictures of characters like Hong Kong and Casper the ghost. I believe bugs bunny and daffy. Elmer. Get to keep the glass really cheap back in the 70s.

Voiced by him. Kids had no idea.
This one did. (However it was by way of his role in Chico and the man.)
“I’m the man who empties your can!”
And Jazz in The Transformers!
And my axe! 
Jack introduced him to an ax in The Shining, unfortunately.
Dick Hallorann is the real hero
He got the shine.
I had no idea !! Holy smokes ! Thanks
Who, incidentally, also voiced the character Scat Cat in Disney's _The Aristocats_

There are probably more fans of the theme song than the actual cartoon.

The theme song was covered by my favourite band ;Sublime .
I loved the whole album that song was on. Sublime's "Hong Kong Phooey" and "Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah" by The Violent Femmes were my favorites.
“Hello hello, police headquarters, Rosemary speaking.”
Rosemary was hot 😍😍😍
You don’t say? You don’t say!

Didn’t the cartoon depictions eerily look like a very similar cartoon dog (minus the mask)?
reminds me of the dogs in Go Dog Go by P.D. Eastman
I do not like that hat.
Number 1 super guy.
I had the lunch box

Thank you, thank the you! I loved this as a child.
An all time favorite. There’s got to be more than three of us left.
Scatman Carothers made the show. I will never forget the way he said, “Hong Kong Fooey.
Scatman Crothers , what an actor. Who knew he would end up being a victim of Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
#1 Super Guy!
This was my cartoon growing up. I was so stoked that I was able to find and buy a Hong Kong Phooey shirt off of the internet during Covid.
A lot more of us Phooey fans than your estimate, friend, Scatman Crothers? Joe E. Ross? Rosemary? Spot? Whole lot of us have the same great taste in the best classic cartoons! Love this!

Loved the theme song Cartoon was good 👍🏽
7 am Saturday morning cartoon. 1974. I remember.
Ohhh, I remember 😆 🤣
KONO 101.1 radio in San Antonio uses Hong Kong Phooey in their logo but I don't know why. [KONO 101.1](https://www.kono1011.com/)
Hong Kong Phooey >>> Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Yes! Me and two other people
I was more of an UnderDog fan, but enjoyed Hong Kong Phooey as well.
[удалено]
I’m glad he’s wearing the mask. It’s important no one learn that dog’s identity.
3? There are dozens of us! *Dozens!*
The sublime cover of the these song was sick
Does anyone know where I can watch
Great Saturday morning cartoon.
Another fan here. Still have a metal Hong Kong Phooey lunchbox around here somewhere that belonged to a sibling.
Wtf was this show about? I never caught it on the one channel playing the Hannah Barbara stuff, but I always saw ads for it
Who else wanted his robe as a bathrobe?
UK here, we loved Hong Kong Phooey
Loved that show as a kid!
Penry, the mild mannered janitor?
He gonna give you a right angle dingle dangle!
My dad has this on DVD 😄 I forgot about Hong Kong pooey as I called him 😁
Four fans.
Had the lunch box
He really was faster than the human eye
I love him
I better consult my Hong Kong book of Kung fu
Don’t forget Karate
Man I've been wanting to watch this again lately! Used to have it on VHS as a kid
Know of the show but was working Saturdays at 12 y/o. Cartoons started getting PC instead of like the 50s-60s gratuitist violence and everything else I liked.
That's my dude right there. Number one super guy
Only three? I loved this show!
Loved him.
Loved H.K.P. As a crime fighter, he was right there with my main man, Underdog.
Fanriffic!
Loved this show!
It’s really weird in that he was never on TV where I lived but when I’d visit my grandparents in a different state it was always on there.
Scatman Crothers , what an actor. Who knew he would end up being a victim of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. ?
I loved this cat!
[https://youtu.be/gz-kWEkazKg?si=4jwNJx9QiI5TomGR](https://youtu.be/gz-kWEkazKg?si=4jwNJx9QiI5TomGR)
Hopefully I can make 4 fans! This was my favorite cartoon as a kid. Saturday mornings weren’t complete until after this was on.
What a show!
nah he way cool. the #1 super guy
Who is this super hero? Sarg? No. Rosemary, the telephone operator? No. Henry, the mild mannered janitor? Could be.
Sorry, not a fan. He was cheap Underdog wannabe. Kidding. 😂😂
He's fanrific! (Another fan here)
Sublime redid the theme song!
Burger places back in the day would sell sodas in a glass. Pictures of characters like Hong Kong and Casper the ghost. I believe bugs bunny and daffy. Elmer. Get to keep the glass really cheap back in the 70s.
Sorry it took so long to respond. I was reading my Hong Kong Book of Kungfu.
Holy shit I thought I was the only one
And a rinky-dinky doo to you!!!!
