Jokebook was ananthology of segments produced by Hanna-Barbera, along with classic, foreign, and independent animation which had originated elsewhere. Unusual for a Hanna-Barbera production, it was aimed at an adult audience (the first Hanna-Barbera production to be so afterThe Flintstones andTop Cat started being shown on Saturday mornings (which the film adaptation of a Hanna-Barbera property later aimed at an adult audience inThe Banana Splits Movie)). It was the only Hanna-Barbera production not to have recurring characters.[2] The show was aired with alaugh track and was the last Hanna-Barbera series to do so.
Seven episodes were made, but only three were aired due to lack of audience interest. The show's second episode finished dead last in the week's ratings. It aired at the same time asThe Dukes of Hazzard onCBS andBenson onABC.[3]
