A series from the [[The Sixties|1960s]], which spawned a [[George of the Jungle (film)|movie adaptation]]. Produced by Jay Ward of ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' fame (the series, not the movie). '''''George of the Jungle''''' was an [[Animated Anthology]], combining the ''George of the Jungle'' cartoons with ''Super Chicken'' and ''Tom Slick''.
 
All three segments were full of the [[Post Modernism]], [[No Fourth Wall]], and satire that characterized Jay Ward's work. This series lasted only 17 episodes (1967), but has been rerun on various TV stations almost continuously for just over 40 years. The series has also earned a complete-series DVD release.
