The Skatebirds lasted only a half-season in its original run from Septemto January 28, 1978.

Their nemesis was Scat Cat, voiced by Scatman Crothers who had previously played Hong Kong Phooey and a character also named Scat Cat from the Disney movie The Aristocats. The Skatebirds, so called because they roller skated, were named Satchel (a pelican), Knock-Knock (a woodpecker) and Scooter (a pigeon). The show featured four short segments hosted by live-action wraparounds featuring "The Skatebirds", three large birds played by actors in costumes. The Skatebirds is a 60-minute show produced by Hanna-Barbera that aired on CBS Saturday mornings from 1977 to 1978.
