Sixteen 30-minute episodes of Jabberjaw were produced, which aired on ABC Saturday Morning from September 11, 1976 to September 3, 1977 and rebroadcast for a second season of reruns on Sunday Morning from September 11, 1977 to September 3, 1978. In the 1980s, repeats of the kooky Carcharodon were shown on USA Cartoon Express and later resurfaced on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
Jabberjaw is a great white shark who has the brain of a sardine and the courage of a guppy. He is also a drummer for The Neptunes, a rock group made up of four teenagers — Biff, Shelly, Bubbles and Clam-head — who live in an underwater civilization in the year 2076. Jabberjaw and The Neptunes travel to various underwater cities where they encounter and deal with diabolical villains who want to conquer the undersea world.

Theme Song and Opening Credits
They call him Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jaw!
The most futuristic shark you ever saw!
I can walk, and talk, and LOOK, I'm even breathin'!
He's so sharp the things he does are unbelievin'!
Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabberjaw!
I'm the latest greatest shark you ever saw,
When his friends get in a jam, they just call on this big ham
He's Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabber-Jabberjaw, Jabberjaw,
