    • Trivia
      The show was so successful that it aired on all three major networks. It aired first run on CBS until 1975. Reruns aired on ABC in 1975-76 (later replacing Uncle Croc's Block), then on NBC, replacing the canceled McDuff, The Talking Dog, from November 27, 1976 until September 3, 1977 (thus completing the cycle of being on all three networks). It was then picked up by the USA Network for their Cartoon Express shows from 1982 to about 1990. Like most cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, Speed Buggy contained a laugh track (later removed for repeats on Cartoon Network and Boomerang).

    Speed Buggy is the cutest little race car!
    Speed Buggy is a wonderful cartoon show. Personally I LOVE the show. I think it is one of the best cartoons in the world. It is about this race car named Speed Buggy with whom can talk, surf, fish, and do almost anything. Speed Buggy, and his friends Mark, Debbie and Tinker usually get into an adventure during a race. Arlene Golonka (Debbie) is one reason to watch the show. Debbie is my favorite character. She can talk Speed Buggy into doing anything. And she can boss Mark and Tinker around and they do what she wants. And I would also suggest catching the 1978 Television show Taxi (which stared Judd Hirsch and Tony Danza) Arlene Golonka makes an appearance in episode #7 "High School Reunion" as Shelia Martin. She is terrific in that episode.
