Premiering in 1975, Wacky and Packy was one of Filmation’s quirkiest Saturday-morning gems — a buddy comedy about friendship, time travel, and gentle chaos. The show followed Wacky, a bumbling caveman, and his best friend Packy, a lovable woolly mammoth, who accidentally tumble through a time portal and land in the modern world.
Each episode sees the prehistoric pair trying to make sense of 1970s life — from cars and televisions to city streets — often leaving a trail of well-meaning mayhem behind them. Their mix of wide-eyed innocence and slapstick charm made every misadventure lighthearted fun with a touch of heart.
Though short-lived, Wacky and Packy captured that unmistakable Filmation warmth — simple animation, silly gags, and an enduring message about friendship across worlds (and millennia).
