| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) | comment |
After the theatrical Popeye shorts came to a close in 1957, the rights to them were sold to television syndicator Allied Artists Production (a.a.p.) and began airing on television, becoming very popular, and therefore very lucrative for a.a.p. However, King Features Syndicate, the owner of Popeye, wasn't getting any additional money off of the syndication fees because of the terms of the original license to Paramount.So they commissioned their own line of original Popeye cartoons with Al Brodax as the executive producer, titled simply Popeye The Sailor. King Features then outsourced all the works to various animation studios.note Paramount Cartoon Studios, (formerly Famous Studio) Jack Kinney Productions, Rembrandt Films, Larry Harmon Pictures, and Gerald Ray Studios Altogether, a total of 220 shorts, less than six minutes each, were made in just two years across 1960 and 1961. Despite low budget and various animation quality, it's still very impressive, considering that the theatrical Popeye run had 232 shorts made over 24 years in comparison. (Or 220 if you exclude all the clip shorts and remakes)Unlike later Famous Studio Popeye shorts, which focus on just Popeye, Olive, Bluto and their love triangle stories, these shorts had a wider range of stories, from Popeye doing mundane things like fishing to him going undersea to discover a lost land. Or sometimes it's just plain weird. This series also introduced a number of characters originally appeared in the comics, most notably Sea Hag, Alice the Goon, O.G. Wotasnozzle, and Rough House. Also notably that Bluto was called Brutus for this series, as King Features forgot that the Bluto character actually originated in the comic strip (even if it was only one story arc) and not the theatrical shorts. | |

The Cameo: Two instances from The Beatles cartoon (also an Al Brodax production): a Popeye framed picture appears on a coffee house wall in "I Don't Want To Spoil the Party" (it was culled from an Andy Warhol piece called "Saturday Morning Popeye"), and Swee'Pea appears in "Tell Me What You See." | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In "After the Ball Went Over", Popeye directly call out the writer at the end of the shorts. A literal case in "Battery Up", A baseball ball hit the viewer's screen. Making it become pitch black for a few second before the camera zoom out to reveal a TV with broken screen. Then Popeye came to replaced it and apologized the viewers. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: "Paper Pasting Pandemonium" have Popeye and Brutus pasting room wallpapers for Olive. On one occasion, Brutus accidentally pick up a newspaper that's full of Popeye comics instead. In "Fleas a Crowd", Popeye is performing his flea actors' show from Thimble Theatre. Swee' Pea was very bored and seems unhappy in "The Baby Contest", so Popeye tried to cheer him up with his own comic book. But Swee' Pea is not pleased by this. | |

One-Episode Fear: Kind of. In "Scairdy Cat" Brutus make a "Fear Gas" that make anyone whiffs it become weak and scared of anything for a short time. He use it on Popeye throughout the shorts to take advantage of him. It lose its effect after Popeye eats his spinach however. | |

Recycled Soundtrack | |
| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) / int_405f6f52 | comment |
Recycled Soundtrack: The shorts made by Paramount reused music from their theatrical shorts, composed by Winston Sharples. Including the spinach fanfare music note Which make their shorts stand out from the rest. As they're are the only studio to consistently used their own fanfare instead of the one composed specifically for the show: Rembrandt Films sometimes used their own, slower-tempo fanfare, while Jack Kinney used Paramount's spinach fanfare and theatrical opening music as noted in Early-Installment Weirdness. and the theatrical Popeye opening music once in "Hits and Missiles". Gerald Ray also uses stock soundtracks, even using ending music piece from Paramount and Rembrandt. | |

| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: Paramount loves to utilize this trope. Especially the ending animation of Popeye singing from "Hits and Missiles" was used for most shorts that have Popeye singing at the end. Though sometimes this became Recycled Animation as he was given a new coat of paint to match how he actually looked in the shorts. Jack Kinney also has a fair share of stock animations. Most notably in shorts center around time travels and storybook telling. | |

Episode Title Card | |
| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) / int_6acb79b2 | comment |
Episode Title Card: There are several card designs across all the shorts. Paramount used a simple title card with yellow text on a dark blue background, except in "Amusement Park". Similarly, Larry Harmon and Gerald Ray also used simple texts on a plain background with small differences. Jack Kinney and Rembrandt have custom-made title cards for each shorts. Rembrandt shorts that were animated by Halas and Batchelor feature title cards similar to Paramount instead. | |

| Popeye the Sailor (TV Series) / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: This still applies to Popeye. (and thus Olive has to step in his place when necessary) Subverted then inverted in "Sea Hagracy" While Popeye did said it ain't polite to hit a girl, he didn't says he can't spank one! Then at the end of the shorts, Popeye did strike back to her after fed up with her attacks. Inverted in "The Green Dancin' Shoes", We clearly see Popeye fighting and punching Sea Hag on-screen. Though one could argue that it's a fairy tale so it's not actually Popeye who punched Sea Hag. | |
