Wolf Rock TV is a 1984 American live action/animated series produced by DIC Enterprises and Dick Clark Productions, featuring the voice of Wolfman Jack. The series ran for seven episodes on ABC before it was canceled due to low ratings.[1] Wolf Rock TV was replaced by Scary Scooby Funnies , which consisted of reruns of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo shorts from The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show (1980–1982).
The series re-aired in syndication in 1989 with the animated series Kidd Video in a segment known as "The Wolf Rock Power Hour".[2] As of today, copies of the series remain unavailable to the public, though some animation cels and merchandise relating to the show have surfaced.
