"Pre-dating and in many ways exceeding the strangeness of the bizarre humour "pioneered" by Monty Python nearly a decade after the Shadoks first appeared..."
Sigh. Yes, it's true that the Pythons were innovative, but they weren't the first. Once again the legacy of The Goon Show, Round the Horne, Beyond the Fringe and At Last the 1948 Show is conveniently airbrushed out of history...

Added reference to UK television screening
No reference added, due to uncertain airing times and exact spelling of the show.
The cartoon also appeared on Swedish television in 1968 or 1969 with the title "Chibi och Shadock" so the secondary characters were put first in the title. It had a narration in Swedish I have been unable to find any reference at SVT but remember a few episodes and puns clearly. (Like the one about pumping as a solution to everything.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.144.233.78 ( talk) 07:38, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Interestingly, it was screened also in the socialist Poland, in the 1970s, one of the few Western cultural imports back then, maybe because of the presumed PL-FR "special relationship" against the scary Capitalist USA. My 4 bits of WP:OR Zezen ( talk) 11:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
