The Funky Phantom: Season One (1971-1972)

<p><em>Heavens to Betsy Ross! My stars and stripes! Jumping George Washington!&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>The Funky Phantom</em> was a Hanna-Barbera mystery cartoon that ran from September 11, 1971 to January 1, 1972. It had a relatively short afterlife, only lasting one season (or seventeen episodes). The show stars Micky Dolenz, Tommy Cook, and Kristina Holland as a trio of teenaged sleuths stuck in a somewhat disturbing love triangle. Daws Butler stars as the titular specter, recycling his turn as Snagglepuss, which itself was a spoof of Bert Lahr. Jonathan "Funky Phantom" or "Mudsy" Muddlemore is a Revolutionary War-era soldier who died in a tragic clock-related accident with his cat. After being resurrected from said clock, he joins up with the teens and they travel far and wide, unmasking fake ghosts, a la Scooby Doo.</p><p>Watching this went as well for us as the Battle of Bunker —&nbsp;Funky? — Hill went for everybody involved. Listen to Áine and Kevin seance about random musical interludes, Boston Brand, and the history of the American Revolution.</p><p>Follow us on the usual social media suspects:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Mystery-to-Me-Podcast-105987494771196" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/mystery_to_me_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mysterytomepodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul><p>And send yourRed Coat gold to mysterytomepodcast@gmail.com.</p><p><em>Mystery to Me is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.</em></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
