Smurfs (1981 TV series)/Season 2

The Smurfs cartoon show title used in the Season 2 intro sequence.

Season 2, which aired from 1982 to 1983, expanded the running time of the show from its original 60 minutes to 90 minutes, featuring three main-cast episodes and a "Johan And Peewit" episode during the final 30 minutes of the show, featuring Johan and Peewit as the main characters and the Smurfs as their supporting characters. The season also introduces three new Smurfs, Tracker, a Smurf with sense for almost anything; Scaredy, a Smurf who easily goes scared by anything; and Sloppy, a dirty Smurf with passion for garbage, who mostly appear only during this season. It was during this season that two cartoon specials, "The Smurfs Christmas Special" (December 12, 1982) and "My Smurfy Valentine" (February 13, 1983), were aired, introducing Chlorhydris the evil witch as well as Cupid the cherub. This is the only season in which the writers are not credited.

It is notable for being the first season to outsource to other studios to split the workload. Hanna-Barbera Australia was chosen to animate half of the episodes, where their work appears much more consistent than the ones being done stateside.

Following the first season, the human village started to appear much more often to give variety alongside mythical creatures and giants. Johan and Peewit, two characters from their comic series, were added into the mix. Unfortunately, they weren't as successful in America, as they were being overshadowed by their little blue friends. Homnibus made his debut in the 1981 TV series as a friend of Papa Smurf and became one of the most prominent human characters up until Season 8.

Intro Sequence

The Season 2 intro sequence is noted for featuring the lyrics to the Smurf song, which were later used in both the 2011 Smurfs movie and in a dance version in one of the songs in the playlist of The Smurfs Dance Party. As in the first season, Clumsy runs to get behind the SMURFS title logo and then appears on the mushroom.
