Take the hot pursuit of The Dukes of Hazzard and put it in the village of The Smurfs and you had the recipe for the short-lived 1981 cartoon Trollkins! The tree-community stories of Trolltown revolved around main characters Blitz, Pixlee, and pet Flooky. Causing trouble most of the time was the biker gang called the Troll Choppers. Mayor Lumpkin and Sheriff Trolsom, who were the fathers of Blitz and Pixlee respectively, were the two responsible for holding the bikers in line. Sheriff Trolsom also had two deputies Dotty and Flake who were about as helpful as Enos and Cletus on The Dukes of Hazzard.

Each episode of the Trollkins contained two mini-episodes which ran for about 10 1/2 mintues. I've found two episodes on YouTube that I've embedded below, which includes part one of the very first episode. And for your cereal fix, I've found a Fruity Pebbles commercial from 1981 featuring a traditional Barney ploy to steal Fred's cereal. Enjoy rediscovering the Trollkins!
