This was one of Hanna-Barbera Australia's better-animated efforts. Usually the Aussie studio turned out some pretty sloppy work, but this was an exception. Even in the Southern Star years they could vary; "The Berenstain Bears" had some pretty subpar animation, but "Teen Wolf" had some really neat expressive character animamtion.
I wanted to watch the show when I saw ads for it in comic books before it started, but the CBS station in the Bay Area pre-empted it for some stupid local kids' show. Some independent channel showed it months later, but I'd moved on to other shows by then, and it was soon cancelled.
@@ThomasFogleCartoons No, I was in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we never had a show with that title. I don't remember what show the station(KPIX) aired, but it was some non-cartoon 'magazine' show with 'kid-friendly, but boring' features.

Watched this show faithfully every Saturday morning with my older brother before he went to work at the sawmill, precious memories!

Premiered on CBS Saturday mornings in the fall of 1980
And that's why I've never heard of it. I dropped Saturday morning cartoons during the summer of 1980.
