Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids was an animated television show that aired on NBC from 1973 to 1974. The show followed the adventures of a rock band named after the infamous Wild West outlaws, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The band was made up of four young musicians - Butch, Stephanie, Wally, and Merilee - who were always on the lookout for their next big gig, while also getting into exciting and often dangerous situations.

The show was produced by the famous Hanna-Barbera animation studio, and the characters were voiced by a talented cast of actors including Judy Strangis, Micky Dolenz, and John Stephenson. Strangis played Stephanie, the keyboard player and only female member of the band. Dolenz, who was a former member of the 1960s band The Monkees, provided the voice for Butch, the lead singer and guitarist. Stephenson, meanwhile, played Mr. Socrates, the band's mysterious benefactor who provided them with high-tech gadgets and vehicles to help them navigate their often perilous adventures.

The show's premise was simple - Butch and the gang would travel to various locations around the world to perform at concerts, but would often stumble upon some sort of mystery or crime to solve. They would then use their unique musical talents, along with the advanced gadgets provided by Mr. Socrates, to help them unravel the mystery and catch the bad guys.

One of the most memorable aspects of the show was its catchy theme song, which featured the lyrics "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, they're never far behind." The song perfectly captured the show's adventurous and fun-loving spirit, and became a hit with young viewers.

While the show only lasted for one season, it still has a cult following to this day. Fans of the show praise its unique blend of action, music, and humor, as well as its positive messages about teamwork and using creativity to solve problems.

Overall, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids was a fun and entertaining animated show that captured the spirit of adventure and excitement that was so prevalent in the 1970s. Its memorable characters, catchy music, and exciting action made it a hit with audiences of all ages, and it remains a beloved classic of the era.
