Production notes

Muhammad Ali was the first athlete to have his own cartoon show.

This may also have marked the first time that the star of a cartoon series was accompanied on the show by his real-life public relations man; Ali's PR man, Frank Bannister, provided his own voice.

This 13-episode series ran until September 2, 1978 on NBC, with frequent changes of timeslot until its cancellation.
