Editing The Hardy Boys

{{media}}
The Hardy Boys is a 1969 Filmation Saturday morning cartoon that ran for 2 seasons on ABC. It is loosely connected to the immortal series of children's detective fiction books.

==History==

===Origins===
Nobody knows where exactly this abomination came from. Most agree that the show originated when [[Dr. Robotnik]] began drinking his own [[cum]] mixed with rum sometime in the late 1960's, as he ran out Coke for rum-and-Coke, and as we all know, nobody drinks just rum. Since his semen is laced with copious amounts of PCP and opium, he began to hallucinate vividly and began reading "The Hardy Boys" books and writing down what he hallucinated. After he became sober and read through his notes, he was convinced that such an idea would make a great cartoon, and thusly the series went into production, based on what Robotnik hallucinated.

Unfortunately, in the early 1970s, Robotnik drank too much CumRum, and began to believe that a [[Sonic the Hedgehog|speedy blue hedgehog]] was tormenting him and standing between him and total world domination. He hasn't been sober since.

===Concept===
The basic premise of the show had the Hardy boys and their friends as a rock band who solve mysteries in their spare time. Each episode had two 10-minute mysteries, and one music video of sorts of their latest song.

===Legacy===
The show faded into obscurity due to being on at the same time as [[Scooby Doo]], which was vastly superior in writing and animation. Most who remember it believe they were high or dreaming at the time, and most of the actors  haven't been heard from since. Some committed suicide/had suicidal thoughts after watching the show. Several 45's and 2 33 RPM LP's have been made, and the songwriting is vastly superior to the cartoon itself.

==Episodes==
There were no titles given for any episode of the show, so the episodes share their titles with the books.
