Uncle Croc's Block is an hour-long live-action/animated television series produced by Filmation, and broadcast on ABC in 1975–76.[1]
The show was a parody of live kids' shows but with (as MeTV would later describe it) a "bitter edge".[2]
The series premiered at 10:30 am ET on September 6, 1975. Uncle Croc's Block was up against the second half of the popular The Shazam!/Isis Hour (another Filmation property) and Far Out Space Nuts on CBS and Run, Joe, Run and Return to the Planet of the Apes on NBC. The show, which was fitted with an adult laugh track, was shortened to 30 minutes, then scrapped on February 14, 1976, after half a season on the air.[3]
