Heathcliff is an

Ruby-Spears Productions

. It ran until September 18, 1982 with a total of 25 episodes, under two different names (see next paragraph).

History

The first season called "Heathcliff and Dingbat" ran for 13 episodes and included backup segments with Dingbat and the Creeps, who were created for the show. "Dingbat and the Creeps" revolved around the adventures of three monstrous characters who were self-employed as "Odd Jobs, Inc." which consisted of Dingbat, a vampire dog who used a bat-shaped novelty straw to eat most foods, Sparerib, a strangely rotund skeleton with the ability to change himself into useful items (such as a floor lamp, which he did in the opening credits), and Nobody, a gravelly-voiced

jack-o-lantern

who led the team and often found them various work.

The second season called "Heathcliff and Marmaduke" ran for 12 episodes and featured backup segments with fellow comic strip character Marmaduke (although the Marmaduke segments are actually the first to be seen in each half-hour show).

Reruns can be seen occasionally on

Boomerang

, however in recent months only the second season ("Heathcliff and Marmaduke") has been shown.

Two years after this show ended, another one based on Heathcliff was produced by DIC, which was called simply "Heathcliff", although for distinction this series is usually referred to by the expanded title of "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats".
