Richie Rich is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that aired on ABC from 1980 to 1984. Based upon Harvey Comics' popular Richie Rich comic book characters, shared time slots with Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, The Little Rascals, and Pac-Man over its original broadcast run. The other most visible character was Richie's dog, the appropriately named Dollar. The show airs occasionally on Boomerang. [edit] Adaptation changes The animated series takes a number of liberties from the original comics. - Richie is depicted as slightly older and wears a sweater with a large R on the front as well as trousers.
- Gloria is shown as the same age as Richie and wears a white long sleeved blouse, purple sweater and purple mini skirt.
- Dollar is more anthropomorphized with Walter Mitty like fantasies.
- Irona The Robot Maid is given a greater presence in the series with additional duties as Richie's personal bodyguard. To fulfill that role, Irona can convert her body into various alternative modes as necessary. For instance, the moment she receives a summons from Richie, she would change her body into a jet plane mode and immediately fly to the boy.
