Batfink
Batfink was produced at Hal Seeger Studios, in New York City, and at Bill Ackerman Productions in Midland Park, New Jersey.
It was syndicated by Screen Gems and continued to air on local stations throughout the 1980s.
Nickelodeon briefly aired episodes of Bat fink on its Weinerville and Nick in the Afternoon series in the 1990s. In September 2006, it returned to the U.S. as part of "Cartoons Without a Clue", Boomerang's mystery lineup on weekends.
The Batfink series was very popular in the UK, becoming a cult series like the later Danger Mouse, and from 1967 onwards was shown at least once every year on UK terrestrial television up until 1983, initially on the BBC network where it was allocated an early evening slot just before the BBC News, and latterly as part of Children's ITV; it subsequently reappeared in 1986 on the ITV Saturday morning magazine show Get Fresh.
It was introduced to a new audience in 2004 when it was included in a number of episodes of the BBC's Saturday morning show Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, and since April 2006 has been enjoying an extended, if somewhat irregular, repeat run on CBBC.
Bat fink was made quickly and cheaply by re-using stock sequences. Although most serial animations do this to some extent, Batfink did it more than most.
Commonly repeated scenes include the intro to the initial briefings by the Chief, Batfink and Karate getting into the Battillac, the Battillac going round mountain bends, the Battillac going over a bridge, Bat fink's radar and others.
Sometimes the repeated scenes would be cut short so that sections could be re-used to fit the storyline more closely.
When you want to suprize someone, this is perfect. So on a cold day outside you can slip back through nostalia to your childhood.

The Bat-illac is ready, it's a wonder car
And Batfink has his Radar Supersonic Sonar,
A missle that can find him he will never feel;
His wings are ...
