Behind the Scenes: The Making of Jabberjaw for Our YouTube Channel

Jabberjaw is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran in 1976, with a total of 16 episodes airing on ABC. Mystery solving/musical group, the Neptunes, consisting of Biff, Shelly, Bubbles and Clamhead as well as the group's mascot, a great white shark named Jabberjaw, who talks in a similar way to Curly Howard of the Three Stooges, play music and solve mysteries.They 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 modeling work for Jabberjaw.

The first Jabberjaw story we produced for the channel, titled "Shark Trouble," which wasn't written by me. The plot followed Jabberjaw worrying about some real baddies coming after him. The second story, titled "Take Them Down, Jabber," which also wasn't written by me, had Jabberjaw putting up a fight with a underwater creep. In the final story, "Do You Ever Wonder How It Would Be to Be Jabberjaw," which again wasn't written by me, had the gang getting prepared to play some music.

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