| - The All-New Popeye Hour is an animated Television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and King Features Syndicate. Starring the popular comic strip character Popeye, the series aired from 1978 to 1983 on CBS.
- The All-New Popeye Hour ran on CBS until September 1981, when it was cut to a half-hour and retitled The Popeye & Olive Comedy Show. It was removed from the CBS lineup in September 1983, the year before Jack Mercer's death. These cartoons have also been released on VHS and DVD. While these cartoons were in production, CBS aired The Popeye Valentine Special: Sweethearts at Sea on February 14 (St. Valentine's Day, of course), 1979. In the United Kingdom, the BBC aired a half-hour version of The All-New Popeye Show, from the early 1980s to 2004.
- The show stars Popeye, in an attempt by Hanna-Barbera to bring him back to his comic roots. Several characters from the comics were featured and Popeye went back to wearing his civilian sailor clothes, abandoning the white Navy uniform he had worn for many earlier theatrical cartoons and the previous TV show, Popeye the Sailor (although he still wore a Navy sailor's cap, like in certain comics). Bluto was also brought back, since the aforementioned show had instead employed Brutus as its main villain.

The hour-long program paired Popeye with an unrelated series, Dinky Dog, until it became a half-hour show in 1981, undergoing the name change to The Popeye and Olive Comedy Show and lasting until 1983. This series was also the last time Jack Mercer voiced Popeye before his death.
