The Smurfs is an American animated television series that aired on NBC from September 12, 1981 to December 2, 1989. Made by Hanna-Barbera, 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 421 individual stories. During season 4, it was rivaled by a similar series, Snorks, which only survived for 4 seasons.
The series began airing on Cartoon Network in 1992 and also aired on Boomerang. During syndication, the short season 4 introduction sequence replaced all intros due to time constrictions. Also, seasons 8 and 9 were omitted from the channels due to some programs were not under the syndication package from the infamous strike in 1988. Despite this, all seasons are available on the Boomerang app.
The Smurfs was (and still is) considered a very popular cartoon series, as remembered by those that watched it during their childhood back in the 1980s.
