Richie Rich is an animated cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera that first aired on ABC in 1980, adapted from the Richie Rich comic book series by Harvey Comics. The series originally aired in various omnibus series with Scooby-Doo, The Little Rascals, Pac-Man and Monchhichis.In the series, Richie Rich (Sparky Marcus), his girlfriend Gloria Glad (Nancy Cartwright), and his dog Dollar go on various adventures to stop criminals from stealing valuables and to foil the pranks of Richie's cousin Reggie Van Dough (Dick Beals).The series is divided into 4 segments. Richie Rich Riches involves Richie and company trying to stop criminals from robbing the Rich family mansion. Richie Rich's Treasure Chest usually focuses on the escapades of Dollar or Cadbury. Richie Rich Gems are humorous 30-second shorts that tend to have a funny punchline at the end. Richie Rich's Zillion Dollar Adventures typically involves Richie and his friends thwarting off evil villains.

Visual Pun: "Irona Versus Demona" begins with Irona washing the family's money in several washing machines; in other words, literal money "laundering".

Sick Episode: "The Million Dollar Measles" has Richie getting the titular illness. Most of the episode involves Irona trying to prevent anyone from getting the illness from Richie. By the end of the episode, Richie started to feel better. However, Richie's dad suddenly got the Million Dollar Measles.

Second Place Is for Winners
 Richie Rich (1980) / int_4b4274e3
comment
Second Place Is for Winners: One cartoon episode had Irona compete against a robot butler, but be off by a penny when it came to calculations. When the money piled up is about to fall on Richie, the butler's salesman admits his robot wasn't made for rescue/lifesaving duties (which enables Mr. Rich to void the deal for the robot butler when Irona saves Richie).

Crazy-Prepared: Richie seems to have a gadget or gizmo up his sleeve to deal with any contingency, more prevalent in the cartoon adaptation. (Most of them are invented by Professor Keenbean.) In one episode, when he and Reggie are held hostage by two thugs who searched and disarmed him, Richie improvises and uses Reggie's practical joke equipment to subdue them.

Pragmatic Adaptation: To deal with the property's deficit in female protagonists, the Hanna-Barbera series played up Irona as not only the Riches' Robot Maid, but also Richie's bodyguard with unlimited functions to use in his protection.

Broke Episode: "Wiped Out" involves Richie, Gloria and Reggie over hearing a conversation Richie's Dad was having on the phone where he states that he was "Totally wiped out". Richie felt that meant his Dad lost a huge portion of his fortune. So, Richie and his friends decide to help his Dad regain his fortune. However, Reggie plans to sell all of Richie's belonging to unsuspecting customers. When Dollar accidentally activates the pool's surfing device, he eventually went through a major "wipe out". After seeing the incident, Richie then has a "Eureka!" Moment when he remembered that his Dad was taking Surfing lessons the other day, and realized his Dad was just having trouble with the surfboard. After that, Richie then saw what Reggie was trying to do. Luckily, Richie managed to stop Reggie just in time. At the end of the episode, Richie and the gang were all quite successful in their business ventures, and Richie's Dad is starting to get the hang of his surfing lessons.

comment
Spot the Imposter: One episode had Cadbury getting kidnapped and replaced with an impostor. Richie managed to discover the fake Cadbury by having him give Dollar a bath in the laundry room instead of Dollar's own bathroom. Another episode has two robbers dognapping Dollar and one of the robbers disguising himself as Dollar. Likewise, Richie was able to spot the imposter by having the fake Dollar eat ordinary dog food. Richie later explained that the Real Dollar would only eat more extravagant dog food.
