Description Inspired by Takostu64  

In the early to mid 60s, where Hanna-Barbera ruled the cartoon world, they had a lot of not just spotlight cartoons, but also B-side and C-side cartoons that tied in to follow-up. Listed as follows:
-Pumpkin Puss & Mush Mouse/Ricochet Rabbit (B-sides for Magilla Gorilla)
-Breezly & Sneezly/Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey (B-sides for Peter Potamus)
-Precious Pupp/Hillbilly Bears (B-sides for Atom Ant)
-Winsome Witch/Squiddly Diddly (B-sides for Secret Squirrel)
-Dino Boy in the Lost Valley (B-side for Space Ghost)
-Frankenstein Jr. (B-side for The Impossibles)
-Moby Dick (B-side for Mightor)
-It's the Wolf/Around the World in 79 Days/Motormouse and Autocat (featured on Cattanooga Cats)
-Arabian Knights/The Three Musketeers/Danger Island (all featured on The Banana Splits, but I don't think the third one counts since it's live action)

But out of all of those, they're pretty searchable in WatchCartoonOnline. And then... there's Birdman's B-side, the Galaxy Trio. Don't get me wrong (and yes I did state my complaint in a previous status), even if they did recycle some elements, it's still a classic in the Hanna-Barbera universe, even to its recent revival in DC Comics' tribute, Future Quest. But if you show it the first time, they won't even recognize it. Heck, for all they know, they might've called it a self-inspired ripoff of Space Ghost. But then, it suddenly comes to them thanks to Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, particularly with Gravity Girl (I mean, Gigi) being a recurring character introduced in Season 2 where she developed as Harvey's love interest. Aside from that, and even with the DVD release containing all episodes of Birdman and this out for years, this has to be the RAREST of all the B-sides! I guess people didn't bother to post, and only one ep's on archive.org. Either way, I'm glad to have put these three intergalactic super-detectives in my series Justice Generation. Even though I did change Vapor Man and Meteor Man's names...
