Buggy has wheels. seats on him, has eyes, is painted orange, has mouth so he can drink and eat, and he somehow can hold things.

Then was picked up by the USA Network for its Cartoon Express shows from 1982 to about 1990. Most likely due to the show's inspiration, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, the character Tinker shares many visual likenesses to Scooby's beatnik best friend, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. Also, there are some similar character traits between Mark and Fred Jones, and Debbie appears to be very similar to Daphne Blake in multiple ways. The first episode, "Speed Buggy Went That-A-Way", is featured on the DVD compilation Saturday Morning Cartoons: The 1970s Volume 1, released on May 26, 2009.

The series was then picked up by the USA Network for their "Cartoon Express" shows from 1982 to about 1990. The series would next appear on Cartoon Network in 1992. As of 2012, Speed Buggy is in the library of Boomerang (Time Warner's archive cartoon channel) but does not air on a regular basis. When it does air, it is typically as part of the channel's block of mystery-solving cartoons, "Those Meddling Kids!" or pops up in the two-hour tribute block of "Boomeroyalty".

It was then picked up by the USA Network for their Cartoon Express shows from 1982 to about 1990. Unlike most cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, Speed Buggy did not contain a Laugh track. Although closely patterned after the meddling kids characters of Scooby-Doo, some Speed Buggy episodes were actually reworkings of Josie and the Pussycats storylines, including Captain Schemo and the Underwater City ("The Nemo's a No-No Affair"), "Out of Sight" ("X Marks the Spot"), "Gold Fever" ("Midas Mix-Up"), "Kingzilla" ("Plateau of the Apes Plot"), "The Incredible Changing Man" ("Never Mind a Master Mind"), and "Island of the Giant Plants" ("A Greenthumb is not a Goldfinger"). Additionally, the episode "The Hidden Valley of Amazonia" was similar to the Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space episode "Warrior Women of Amazonia".
