Wacky Races (Season 1)

Wacky Races (1968) is a Hanna-Barbera animated series you can watch online on iFILM. Eleven outlandish cars and their eccentric drivers tear through a new track every episode — deserts, mountain roads, swamps — all competing to cross the finish line first in what the show calls the world's most bizarre race.

The real draw is Dick Dastardly and his sniggering dog Muttley, who spend each episode rigging elaborate traps that somehow never work. Glamorous Penelope Pitstop holds her own against the field; the Slag Brothers bash their rock-car through every obstacle. The series ran through 1969 and spun off The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Dastardly and Muttley, cementing its place as a touchstone of Saturday-morning animation.
