Tom and Jerry's Mid '70s Co-Stars

Here it is, folks, the first ever website totally dedicated to that 40-foot purple ape, The Great Grape Ape, and his beagle buddy, Beegle Beagle; and that world-famous dog detective (no, not THAT one!), Lt. Mumbly...both of whom co-starred with Tom & Jerry in the mid-70s! I have included a list of titles to all of their episodes, broadcast dates and (some of) the lyrics to Main Title Themes of Grape Ape & Mumbly.
