The Hardy Boys is an American animated series, produced by Filmation and aired Saturday mornings on ABC in 1969.

[1] It features the Hardy Boys, Joe and Frank, along with their friends Chubby Morton, Wanda Kay Breckenridge, and Pete Jones (one of the first black characters to appear on Saturday morning television) touring as a rock band while solving mysteries.

The series is noteworthy for including the producers' rotating wheel for the first time, which would make Filmation a household name.

Two live action songs were inserted in the middle of the mysteries and also used for the main and end titles, performed by a group calling themselves "The Hardy Boys".

[3] These songs were sold at stores on records and audio tapes under the album titles Here Come The Hardy Boys (Billboard #199) and Wheels.
