Villain of the Week- Hugo A Go-Go

Hugo A-Go-Go is a mad scientist and the main villain of the cartoon series Batfink.

He is a blue-smocked and wild-haired man and is referred to as "the world's maddest scientist" and spends his time in his "secret" laboratory creating weird and wacky inventions (including at one point building himself a robot bride complete with robot mother-in-law) to defeat Batfink and dominate the world.

He somehow manages to escape jail every time when caught to antagonize the hero in a later episode. The cheerfully demented little villain often breaks the fourth wall to talk with the narrator.

Batfink (1967)

This is the title to Batfink for disc 2.  I am still amazed that this series ever made it to DVD.  It is all 100 episodes, and those are not easy to watch in a row, since they were never meant to be.  When I was young, this show was a rarity when it was aired, though I saw it more than Johnny Cypher.  I saw it as than Mighty Mouse, though.  That was ubiquitous on the early morning kid shows.  I liked it, and still do, since it has a sense of humor about it.  Hugo a Go Go is a great villain, and he gets to talk to the narrator a lot.  The rest of the villains are pretty fun as well.  It is way better than Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse.

Batfink - The Short Circuit Case

If this is episode two, this should be the first appearance of Hugo a-go-go, who is one of his more persistent foes. I love Hugo, he's really quite funny. This cartoon was something I saw occasionally on local shows. Batfink is pretty cool, though I didn't remember Karate at all.

Batfink: The Copycat Bat

Hugo-a-gogo is awesome. this is a cartoon I saw a few times growing up, and it is a lot of fun. obviously inspired by the then current Batman show (notice all the animated words) it went for straight parody. it did a great job of it as well, which is rather surprising, all things considered.
