The Great Grape Ape Episode Guide

Episode 1
Originally Telecast: September 6, 1975

"That Was No Idol, That Was My Ape"

During a quiet drive in the rain, Grape Ape and Beegle decide to take a vacation -- and a billboard they encounter boasts the place they plan to go: Hawaii! When Grape Ape's weight proves to be too much for a jet, Grape and Beegle decide to go the whole mile on foot. Once at Hawaii, they encounter a group of natives worshipping a 40-foot purple idol named Mo-Mo; the two decide to get the natives on their side by replacing Mo-Mo with Grape Ape, and are successful. "It is as the prophecy says!" exclaims the native chief. "When Moo-Moo becomes angry, Mo-Mo will appear!" Unbeknownst to Grape and Beegle, the chief is referring to a volcano!

"The All-American Ape"

Ho-boy. 340-lb. Beefy McGurk has blown yet another simple victory for The Pigeons football team, and the coach, who's in danger of losing his job to Shifty Schulz, coach of The Boston Buzzards, if he's not successful in defeating them, sends his aide Crazy Toes into action to find McGurk's replacement. Beegle Beagle and Grape Ape shows up, and C.T. feels he's found his man -- er, ape! The coach plans to hold secret practice sessions, so they can spring it on The Buzzards in the initial game--unaware that Shifty is already in the stadium witnessing the whole thing. Eager to steal the next game and get the job for Pigeons' coach, Shifty manages to kidnap Grape Ape, and keep him in hiding until after the game!
