Popeye The Sailor Man is one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time, and this year marks his 75th anniversary. To celebrate, CONtv has put together a special retrospective featuring some of Popeye's most memorable moments from the past seven and a half decades. The show is hosted by Jack Mercer, the man who provided Popeye's voice for over thirty years.

The first episode of the special begins with a brief history of Popeye's origins. The character was created by cartoonist E.C. Segar in 1929, and he quickly became one of the most popular comic strip characters in the world. Popeye's popularity only continued to grow from there, as he was also featured in animated shorts, movies, and even video games.

The show then delves into some of Popeye's earliest cartoons. These black and white shorts from the 1930s are arguably some of the most entertaining of his career, as they feature some of his classic catchphrases and gameplay elements. For example, fans of the series will remember that Popeye always eats spinach to gain super strength and save the day.

As the show progresses, we get to see some of the many villains that Popeye has taken on over the years. One of the most notorious of these is Bluto, Popeye's arch-nemesis. The two are constantly fighting for the affection of Olive Oyl, Popeye's love interest. While Bluto is undoubtedly a formidable opponent, Popeye always comes out on top thanks to his trusty can of spinach.

Throughout the course of the show, we also get to see some of the celebrity cameos that Popeye has been a part of. For example, in the 1990 movie Popeye, comedian Robin Williams brought the sailor man to life. We also get to see how Popeye has been adapted to different languages around the world, with clips from the Japanese, French, and Italian versions of the show.

Of course, no retrospective on Popeye would be complete without a look at his impact on popular culture. The character has appeared in countless merchandise and even inspired a hit song by the group Spinach. We also get to see some of the parodies and homages that have been created in honor of the character, such as the "Poopeye" segment from The Simpsons.

By the end of the show, fans of Popeye will undoubtedly have a greater appreciation for the character and all of the joy and entertainment that he has brought into their lives. The Popeye The Sailor Man -75th Anniversary special is a fitting tribute to one of the most beloved cartoon characters of all time, and it's sure to be enjoyed by fans both old and new.

Popeye The Sailor Man -75th Anniversary is a series that ran for 1 seasons (34 episodes) between January 1, 1960 and on CONtv
