Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels: The Complete Series DVD Set

 I watched Captain Caveman as a kid. It all started with Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels which was basically a different take on Scooby Doo and Charlie's Angels. Captain Caveman and three teenage girls solve mysteries with the help of Captain Caveman. Captain Caveman was a prehistoric superhero that was frozen in ice until he thawed out in modern days, which was back in 1977.

According to wiki the original Captain Caveman ran from September 10, 1977 to June 21, 1980.

A total of forty 11-minute episodes ran for three seasons from 1977 to 1980: sixteen episodes were produced as segments of Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics in 1977, eight episodes were produced as segments of Scooby's All-Stars in 1978 and sixteen episodes were produced in 1980 when Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels were given their own half-hour show which combined new episodes and reruns from 1977–79. Cavey and the girls also participated in sporting competitions as part of "The Scooby-Doobies" team on the half-hour "Laff-A-Lympics" segment. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track, one of their last productions to do so.



Order Captain Caveman on DVD



Captain Caveman was voiced by Mel Blanc who of course is best known as the voice of Bugs Bunny. Do yourself and a huge favor and look for Mel Blanc's live action performances with Jack Benny. I wish they would put that entire TV series on DVD. Right now there's a few boxed sets that mostly feature the same episodes except for one Lost Episodes collection.

The great thing about classic TV like Jack Benny is those old actors were gifted with the ability to make you laugh. Blanc of course relied on his voice, but Benny could make you laugh with nothing more than a look.

From wiki the Teen Angels Descriptions

Dee Dee Skyes
Dee Dee Skyes (voiced by Vernee Watson) is the brains of the Teen Angels, is the group's sole African-American, and acts as their unofficial leader. Dee Dee and the rest of the Teen Angels found the frozen Captain Caveman and defrosted him. She wears her hair in an afro and usually wears a red turtleneck sweater with a blue skirt and red knee high boots. Both her dress style and her knack for solving mysteries make her similar to Velma Dinkley of Scooby-Doo fame, while she also bears a resemblance to Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats.

Brenda Chance
Brenda Chance (voiced by Marilyn Schreffler) is a cowardly brunette who is always scared of the demons, monsters and phantoms that she encounters and always tries to back out of a scary mystery, but always ends up getting captured or getting the short end of the stick.

Taffy Dare
Taffy Dare (voiced by Laurel Page) is the blonde member of the group, renowned for her cry of "Zowie!" whenever she comes up with a plan (or "Another Daffy Taffy Plan" as Brenda and Cavey would call it) to catch the culprits, has a distinct, childlike persona and New York-influenced/Southern accent. In spite of her usually zany plans and ditziness, Taffy is actually very capable and clever. She has the ability to seduce Caveman into acting as bait for her plans to capture the culprit. She usually wears a green dress with matching shoes. She also acts as Dee Dee's second-in-command of the Teen Angels. It is revealed that Captain Caveman has a crush on her and vice versa.
