The All-New Popeye Hour

The All-New Popeye Hour was an animated television series featuring Popeye the Sailor, produced by Hanna-Barbara Productions and King Features Syndicate, which aired from 1978 to 1983 on CBS. The show featured regular segments that included various new Popeye cartoons as well as "Health and Safety Tips" PSAs in between cartoons. Regular featured characters included Popeye, Bluto, Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Swee'Pea, Poopdeck Pappy, Eugene the Jeep and Popeye's quadruplet nephews.

Don't Overeat

In this Health and Safety Tip, which ran on multiple shows during the series' first two seasons, Popeye preaches the value of good nutrition: "Remember...eat a well-balanced meal every day, but never overeat." In walks the always-hamburger-mooching Wimpy, who eyes the full table beside Popeye before digging in with gusto ("Food! My favorite pastime...ahh, a repast for a king...."). After devouring everything on the table, Wimpy carts off his enormously bloated, button-straining belly in a wheelbarrow as Popeye sings, "Here's a tip worth repeatin', just stop overeatin', says Popeye the Sailor Man."
