Television Adaptation
In 1984, Kangaroo and Space Ace replaced Pitfall Harry, Frogger, and Donkey Kong Jr. as segments on CBS' Saturday Supercade cartoon lineup. The basic plot-line involved kangaroos named Katy (voiced by Mea Martineau) and Joey (voiced by David Mendenhall), who lived in a zoo run by the zookeeper Mr. Friendly (voiced by Arthur Burghardt) and are good friends with Sidney the Squirrel (voiced by Marvin Kaplan). Katy and Joey would often thwart the plots of by the mischievous Monkeybiz Gang (voiced by Pat Fraley and Frank Welker) consisting of Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Fred. The Monkeybiz Gang would cause trouble by trying to escape from the zoo and Katy would have to help keep them in line. The series has never been officially released on DVD or VHS in any form.

“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
