The Great Grape Ape Show

The Great Grape Ape Show is a series created by Hanna-Barbera for ABC as part of The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show in 1975. As his name implies, Grape Ape (voice of Bob Holt) is a giant purple gorilla. His companion, Beegle Beagle (voice of Marty Ingels), often has to solve the problems Grape Ape accidentally causes with his lumbering gait and tremendous strength.
