The Astronut Show is an animated TV series, produced by the Terrytoons animation studio. It first aired on August 23, 1965. Each episode included an episode of Astronut, Hashimoto-san, and Luno The White Stallion.
Astronut first appeared on the Deputy Dawg series. He is a squat, childlike, short, friendly green alien in a tiny flying saucer who frequently gets into mischief on Earth. He has a human friend called Oscar Mild, who was, as his name suggested, a soft-spoken character. Oscar works in an office for Mr. Nicely, whose temperament is the exact opposite of his name.
The series was directed by Art Bartsch, Bob Kuwahara, Connie Rasinski, and David Tendlar. The writers were Larz Bourne, Glan Heish, Tom Morrison, and Bob Ogle. Voices were provided by Dayton Allen and Bob McFadden.
The Astronut Cartoons were originally produced b Terrytoons for theatrical distribution by 20th Century Fox from 1964 to 1966. Starting in 1966 the cartoons were solely made for television. In 1989 Video Treasures released three VHS Tapes, two included all of the theatrical cartoons and the third had some of the made-for-tv cartoons.
