• Season 1

Hong Kong Phooey is a 16-episode (31 shorts) Hanna-Barbera animated series that first aired on ABC Saturday morning from September 7, 1974 to September 4, 1976. The star, Hong Kong Phooey, is the secret alter ego of Penrod Pooch, or Penry, a "mild-mannered" police station janitor. Hong Kong Phooey, is supposed to be master of kung fu. The stories begin at the police headquarters, where Hong Kong Phooey's alter ego, Penry, works as a mild-mannered janitor. He works with Sargeant Flint (Sarge) and Rosemary, the telephone operator, who has a major crush on Hong Kong Phooey. After Rosemary gets a call and explains the criminals' crime (which is one of the only reasons they call), Penry would run into a filing cabinet to transform himself into Hong Kong Phooey. In each episode, he needs help from his loyal cat and sidekick, Spot, to get him out. Hong Kong never thanks Spot nor even notices his help, but instead is always proud of himself because he thinks he is the one who does everything. He would get into his Phooey mobile and would use the "bong of the gong" to turn it into anything needed to save the day. He would find the thieves committing their crime. Mostly, Spot was the one who found a way to capture the criminals and foil their crime. But since Hong Kong was the reputed superhero, every time Spot would save the day, everyone else (including Hong Kong) credited Hong Kong Phooey with being the hero. Every episode would end with a return to police headquarters, where Penry would usually have some sort of accident that would cause Sarge to yell at him. Still, Penry was never hurt by Sarge's yelling but would find a way to compliment himself on his incognito crime-fighting prowess as Spot sighed. Incidentally, Spot was striped.
