The King Kong Show

The King Kong Show is an American animated series made by Videocraft International alongside Toei Animation, which originally aired on ABC from September 10, 1966 to August 31, 1969. The series has two segments: King Kong (loosely based on the King Kong franchise) and Tom of T.H.U.M.B., a parody of spy films made at the time. It is notable for being one of the first animation duties for Toei Animation when it came to American animated TV shows.

King Kong features the titular giant ape, who befriends the Bond family, with whom he goes on various adventures, fighting monsters, robots, aliens, mad scientists and other threats. Unlike King Kong's destructive roles in his movies, this adaptation turned him into a protector of humanity.

Tom of T.H.U.M.B. centers around a secret agent who works for T.H.U.M.B. named Tom and his Asian "sidekick" Swinging Jack, who are accidentally reduced by a shrinking laser ray gun to three inches tall. The pair are sent out in a variety of miniature vehicles by their bad-tempered boss Chief Homer J. Chief to foil the fiendish plots of M.A.D., an organization made up of black-hatted and black-cloaked scientists "bent on destroying the world for their own gains".
