Behind the Scenes: The Making of Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels for Our YouTube Channel

Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran in 1977 to 1980, with a total of 40 episodes airing on ABC. Charlie's Angels-inspired mystery solving trio of girls, the Teen Angels, consisting of Taffy Dare, Brenda Chance and Dee Dee Skyes, venture in a cave to discover a prehistoric caveman trapped in a block of ice, after the ice breaks, the world's first superhero, Captain Caveman is released, and assists the girls as their mascot during their scary mystery missions. The gang would more often than not, come face-to-face with some kind of villain and have to stop their evil plan. It was one of many attempts by Hanna-Barbera to recreate the success of the Scooby-Doo franchise.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, the entire cast were in a later lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did no modeling work.

The first Captain Caveman story we produced for the channel, titled "That's Quite a Caveman," which wasn't written by me. The plot followed the group soling a mystery. The second story, titled "Caveman Hero," which also wasn't written by me, had the group chasing a bandit. In the final story, "That Caveman is Our Hero," which again wasn't written by me, had the Teen Angels fond over Captain Caveman.

We are still in the process of writing more Captain Caveman stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Captain Caveman story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
