Groovie Goolies is an American animated television show that had its original run Saturday mornings on CBS between 1970 and 1972. It was rebroadcast the following season on Sunday mornings. Set at a decrepit castle, the show focused on its monstrous but good-natured and mostly friendly inhabitants.[3] Created by Filmation, Groovie Goolies was an original creation of the studio; its characters would cross over with Filmation's Archie Comics adaptations including Sabrina the Teenage Witch and The Archie Show, as well as with the Looney Tunes cast.[4]

Sabrina the Teenage Witch had been a highly rated newcomer to Saturday morning in 1969, so Scheimer and Prescott decided to add The Groovie Goolies to her show to give them an instant boost in credibility with young viewers.
