I think that distinction might go to the Smurfs. There was a TV show in the 1960s but it only was shown in Belgium and only ran for nine episodes in a multi year run. It's also partially lost. In 1981, Season 1 of the HB show alone lasted nearly triple that with 26 episodes.

Public domain cartoons remastered by Thunderbean have started appearing on MeTV Toons, starting with this 1931 Tom and Jerry short (the Van Beuren series) on Sunday Night Cartoon All-Stars.

Johan and Peewit star in their very first pirate AU. #JohanAndPeewit #TheSmurfs #fanart #art #traditional #coloredpencils #peyo #comics #80scartoons #nostalgia

The later "Real Ghostbusters" episode "Stay Tooned" with Sammy K. Ferret is such a great concept, but, UUGGH, that bad animation! This was at the time where DiC Enterprises's "Do It Cheap" reputation got into full swing, looking all off-model and wonky, even for 1990 standards! #MeTVToons

Peyo is actually kind of overlooked as a cartoonist, he was crazy good. Just one of those guys who kind of got overshadowed by his creation. The comic Johan (which the Smurfs is a spinoff of) is incredibly comfy.

Fun fact: While Johan is an All-Loving Hero in-universe, he is disliked by the Hanna-Barbera staff behind the 1980s cartoon; he doesn't have many quirks or traits like Peewit or the Smurfs. In fact, his character is rather dull to write for, due to NBC's Standards and Practices. #TheSmurfs

Happy birthday to one of our favorite dogs, Charlie Dog! Finalized by Chuck Jones, he appeared in five cartoons. Three with Porky Pig which did very well, and two solo outings. #LooneyTunes

"Rover's Rival," a 1937 Looney Tune directed by Bob Clampett, was the first such short to use "The Merry Go Round Broke Down" as the opening and closing theme music, and as such assumed Porky Pig's place in world history with the closing titles! #SaturdayMorningCartoons

Fun fact: The 1980s "Johan and Peewit" segments in season 2 show every reason why they were dropped from the lineup: their failure to interest audiences; they focused more on slapstick than "The Smurfs"; their adventures didn't leave a cultural impact in America, much like they did in Belgium.

Fun fact: Both the Smurfs and Sonic the Hedgehog share similarities in worldbuilding, but both have key differences in premise. Smurfs live in mushroom houses, protecting their village from Gargamel. Sonic and friends protect their environment from Doctor Eggman's evil gadgets.

Heh, nice timing with this being on MeTV Toons before I leave for work! #MeTVToons

Happy anniversary to the 1981 animated TV series The Smurfs, featuring Smurfette! 🥳 I can’t believe that I get to draw her again! #TheSmurfs #Smurf #Smurfette #HannaBarbera #Peyo #Birthday #Anniversary #Gift

Almost forgot: Happy 40th anniversary to the Super Mario Bros! #FursuitEveryday #SuperMarioBros40thAnniversary

Hanna-Barbera Australia being Hanna-Barbera Australia...

On this day in 1981 #TheSmurfs premiered on #NBC ! 🦚 💙 🍄 ✨

On today's date in 1981, "The Smurfs" premieres on NBC. Laa-laa la-la-la-laa! Sing the happy song! Based on Peyo's Bande Dessinée, the Smurfs all over Smurf Village protect themselves and their Smurfy village from Gargamel and Azrael. 🌟 Hanna-Barbera's biggest 1980s success! 🚫 Dec. 2, 1989

Happy 56th anniversary to Scooby-Doo! That private toon detective fox finds it a pleasure to work with that fellow mystery-solving toon. (Scooby played by @liriedane.bsky.social) #furryfandom #FursuitEveryday

📺 September 12, 1981: "The Smurfs" debuted on NBC. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, it is based on the Belgian comic series of the same name, created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo. One of the most iconic '80s Saturday morning cartoons, it ran nine seasons.

the johan and peewit reprints by @papercutzgn.bsky.social are so beautiful especially here in the smurfs archives please can they publish the complete run as well i need it……

Paramount gave us Smurfs 2025 with a new no-name Smurf 🙄 But Baby Smurf already had powers in the classic series and Papa knew it! They could’ve revived the canceled 2008 trilogy, where adult Sasette was planned. That would’ve made more sense and real potential! #Smurfs #Nostalgia #Smurfs2008

Penciller Smurf's smurfday is coming up! If anyone wants to draw him a gift, feel free to participate. #pencillersmurf #smurfday #september9th #birthday #thesmurfs #smurfs #fanart #art #traditional #coloredpencils #announcement #visualannouncement

Fun fact: The 1981 Smurfs episode, "Supersmurf" was made as a parody of the superhero action shows that Gerard Baldwin previously worked on at Hanna-Barbera.

Fun fact: Before Peewit and the Smurfs, Johan was the only title character. He appeared in solo outings like Basenhau's Punishment and The Master of Roucybeuf (the first two stories of the Johan series). Both sold well in 1950s Belgium, laying a foundation for what comes next.

That's true. Warner Bros. owns the rights to the 1981 TV series of The Smurfs by Hanna-Barbera, but they do not own the Smurfs outright. That honor goes to the Culliford family estate at the Peyo Company.

At least now you can watch all the classic Looney Tunes you want on Tubi! youtu.be/QUEvqs693b8

Happy International Wolf Day from Zak Wolf! #InternationalWolfDay

Fun fact: Johan and Peewit were popular in Belgium in the 1950s, but they weren't enough to make Peyo a household name. Most of Peyo’s human characters in Johan and Peewit had little to no personality, unlike The Smurfs, which had more layers under their one-note personality traits.

Fun fact: When the Smurfs show started, Peyo vetoed H-B from Americanizing his little blue characters. He wanted them to stay rooted in the Middle Ages — old-fashioned and timeless. The series also featured a classical music soundtrack. Like Charles Schulz, Peyo was against adding a laugh track.

If you don't like the 2025 movie, watch 1961 series, The Magic Flute, 1981 Hanna-Barbera series and Smurfs: The Lost Village instead. They're good/decent Smurfs content.

Fun fact: Characters such as King Gerard, the Pussywillow Pixies, Lord Balthazar, the Wartmongers, and Nemesis were created exclusively for the 1980s Smurfs animated series by Hanna-Barbera, meaning none of them were adapted into later entries of the original Smurfs comics produced by Studio Peyo.

Wang Film Productions sure got around in the 80s and 90s. Many animated TV shows during that time subcontracted to Wang, especially anything from Disney and Hanna-Barbera. Horta Editorial's sound design for this show was also pretty good.
