The Kwicky Koala Show is an American/Australian animated series created by legendary director Tex Avery. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and lasted for only one season.

Why It's Far from Kwicky

 * 1) Unlike The Wacky World of Tex Avery, the show is far from original and the cast are shameless knockoffs of already successful cartoon characters:
 * 2) * Kwicky Koala, the titular character is a knockoff of Tex Avery's character, Droopy. Ironically, Avery ripped off his own creation.
 * 3) * Wilford Wolf is a knockoff of Tex Avery's Slick Wolf character, with a voice similar to Paul Lynde.
 * 4) * Dirty Dawg and Ratzo are homeless expies of Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear, despite their different species.
 * 5) * The Bungle Brothers are knockoffs of George and Junior, with the big one going by the name of Joey.
 * 6) * Crazy Claws is a knockoff of Screwy Squirrel, except he's a wildcat.
 * 7) The pacing is pretty slow, typical of Saturday Morning fare. This show failed to capture the fast-paced energy of Tex Avery's MGM cartoon shorts.
 * 8) None of the characters from the original theatrical shorts appear in this show, due to them being owned by MGM at the time.
 * 9) The animation is mostly stiff and robotic, typical of Saturday Morning cartoons at the time.
 * 10) As with most comedic Hanna-Barbera shows, some of the voices on the show are either annoying or cringeworthy to listen to.
 * 11) Laughable dialogue that can be spotty at best.
 * 12) Most of the stories are either mediocre or downright abysmal.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Most of the voice acting is good and the character designs are fairly decent.
 * 2) It was the last show produced before Tex Avery's death.
 * 3) The music score is done by Hoyt Curtin, typical of Hanna-Barbera productions before 1994.
 * 4) It is one of the few shows to be in a "so bad, it's good" category.
 * 5) Some episodes are good.

Trivia

 * While not as successful as the Droopy cartoons, the show did appear in a few Cartoon Network promos (including the 24-hour marathon dedicated to the show).
