Another Scooby doo rip off
---

My only memory of Jabberjaw is the old Cartoon Network interstitial. That was fun.
---

well, it was better than the one with the buggy. i guess.
---

I think I may have seen part of one episode. I believe it had one of those awful laugh tracks that laugh after every sentence or change of posture.

24 hour extension

Well, he *is* the greatest shark I ever saw... That said, it's impressive how much shit he ripped off. He's got the Three Stooges' laugh, Rodney Dangerfield's "no respect," etc.

I loved Jabberjaw, even if nearly everyone who watches it these days won't get half the references in it.

Like, sure, okay, maybe younger people still get that Jabberjaw is a straight-up Curly from the Three Stooges reference, but who the hell picks up on the fact that Bubbles is a Gracie Allen reference?

5 / 10. Derivative of ... every other H-B cartoon, perhaps, plus several other things (mentioned by other posters), but it was a fun staple of my U.S.A. Cartoon Express experience in the mornings.

+1 for remembering Speed Buggy, Nade.

That probably constitutes about 90% of what I remember of Jabberjaw XD
