Harlem Globetrotters was Hanna-Barbera's first animated series to feature the slapstick basketball troupe, a co-production with CBS from 1970 to 1972. It was also the first animated TV series to have a primarily black cast, and one of the few animated series that CBS produced in-house. The Globetrotters' coach, Granny, and their canine mascot, Dribbles, did not appear in crossovers to The New Scooby-Doo Movies, though Granny was mentioned in one.
Twenty-two episodes of Harlem Globetrotters were produced: sixteen for the first season, and six more for the second season. The show was later rerun on NBC as the headline segment of Go Go Globetrotters, a Saturday morning block which also included reruns of CB Bears, Space Ghost, and The Herculoids.
