Produced by Hanna - Barbera Productions, it is based on the Belgian comic series by the same name, created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo ( who also served as story supervisor of this adaptation ) and aired for 256 episodes with a total of 418 stories, excluding three cliffhanger episodes and seven specials.

Ross, an American media and entertainment entrepreneur who saw the Smurfs while traveling in Belgium, entered into an agreement with Editions Dupuis and Peyo, acquiring North American and other rights to the characters, whose original name was `` les Schtroumpfs ''. Subsequently, Ross launched the Smurfs in the United States in association with a California company, Wallace Berrie and Co., whose figurines, dolls and other Smurf merchandise became a hugely popular success. NBC President Fred Silverman 's daughter, Melissa, had a Smurf doll of her own that he had bought for her at a toy shop while they were visiting Aspen, Colorado. Silverman thought that a series based on the Smurfs might make a good addition to his Saturday - morning lineup. The Saturday morning cartoon The Smurfs, produced by Hanna - Barbera Productions in association with SEPP International S.A. ( from 1981 to 1987 ) and Lafig S.A. ( in the years 1988 and 1989 ), debuted on NBC in 1981. The series became a major success for the network and one of the most successful and longest running Saturday morning cartoons in television history, spawning spin - off television specials on an almost yearly basis. The characters included Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, the evil Gargamel, his cat Azrael, and Johan and his friend Peewit. The Smurfs was nominated multiple times for Daytime Emmy Awards, and won Outstanding Children 's Entertainment Series in 1982 -- 1983. In 1989, NBC changed the format of the show, removing some of the Smurfs from the forest and omitted the Smurf village. These changes were adopted to a lost in time format similar to The Time Tunnel. The show was cancelled because of decreasing ratings due to viewers being displeased with the change. In addition, NBC executives prepared a Today weekend program for Saturdays as well as programmings for teenagers such as Saved by the Bell, which came later on and led to the elimination of Saturday morning animated children 's shows. The show continued through 2 December 1989 on the NBC network.

It is now distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution, as Time Warner is the current owner of all Hanna - Barbera properties, having inherited them in their 1996 merger with Turner Broadcasting. Some episodes are available through the online video service In2TV. Syndicated airings of the show are usually broadcast under the title Smurfs Adventures. Although each season had its own unique opening song during the original broadcast, syndicated airings usually use a shortened version of the season 4 opening, where Gargamel says, `` Ravage the land as never before, total destruction from mountain to shore. '' Home media releases Region 1 Warner Home Video released the complete first season on DVD in a two - volume set in 2008. Despite high sales of both sets, no further seasons have been released. Warner Home Video later released a series of three single disc releases of The Smurfs in 2009, each containing 5 episodes from the second season. A two - disc DVD was set to be released in 2011 to tie into the theatrical film with 10 episodes culled from the entire run of the series, but included episodes from the second season instead. Another DVD with both Smurfs Christmas specials was released later that year. It is unknown if Warner Archive will release the rest of the show 's complete seasons ( as part of the Hanna - Barbera Classics Collection series ).

Hefty Smurf also makes a brief cameo in the beginning of the movie with the other Smurfs, his only line being, `` Who smurfed the bell ? '' Smurfette is shown on the promotional poster and VHS cover artwork, but was not seen in the special. Harmony Smurf made a small cameo as the Smurfs comic book was flipping through pages. Gargamel and Azrael made guest appearances on Family Guy in 2009. The Smurfs were often parodied in Robot Chicken where Danny Goldman reprises his role of Brainy Smurf while Dan Milano voiced Papa Smurf and Seth Green voiced Gargamel. In the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode `` Guitar Control '', a tank can be seen destroying a Smurf house. Notes ^ Jump up to : `` Top 100 Animated Series ''. IGN.
