Frogger is a segment of the Saturday Supercade animated television series that is based on the 1981 arcade video game of the same name by Konami.
Produced for Saturday mornings by Ruby-Spears Productions, Saturday Supercade is an anthology series consisting of four 11-minute segments based on various video games, primarily from the golden age of arcade video games. In the first season, these segments included Frogger, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr., with the fourth segment rotating weekly between Pitfall! and Q*bert. In the second season, the lineup of segments was revised to feature Q*bert, Donkey Kong, and new additions Kangaroo and Space Ace. The series was comprised of two seasons which originally aired from 1983 to 1984.
Overview[]
Frogger (voiced by Bob Sarlatte) is an ace reporter of the swamp who works at The Swamp Gazette. He and his friends Shellshock "Shelly" Turtle (voiced by Marvin Kaplan) and Fanny Frog (voiced by B.J. Ward) go out in search of crazy stories (sometimes about human behavior) to publish in the newspaper. Frogger also has to deal with his gruff boss and editor-in-chief Tex Toadwalker (voiced by Ted Field Sr.). As in the video game, Frogger often has an encounter with an alligator or gets flattened by a passing car. However, unlike the game, Shelly can revive Frogger using an ordinary air pump.
