Trollkins
Trollkins is a 1981 American animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that aired for one season on CBS. Essentially a cross between The [Smurfs |The Smurfs] and The Dukes of Hazzard, it followed the misadventures of trolls Blitz, Pixlee, and Flooky.
Plot
The Trollkins are a race of small trolls with green, blue, and purple faces who live in a tree community called Trolltown. The episodes follow the adventures of Blitz, Pixlee, and their pet companion Flooky. Blitz's father Mayor Lumpkin was somewhat of a short, incompetent, hot-headed, fumble-mouth of a mayor who spoke in spoonerisms.Pixlee's father Sheriff Trollsom, more mild-mannered than Mayor Lumpkin, and his two deputies Dotty and Flake were just as incompetent and fumble-minded in maintaining order in Trolltown. Nevertheless, there was no complete love lost amongst the citizens of Trolltown despite the continuous escapades, including those involving a renegade motorcycle gang known as the Troll Choppers who terrorized the citizens of Trolltown from time to time, but were merely a nuisance rather than a threat to everyone.
