Smurfs is an American animated television show that aired from 1981 until 1989 on The WB network. The show was originally based on a Belgian comic series called Les Schtroumpfs, created by cartoonist Peyo. The famous blue creatures known as Smurfs were initially introduced to children's literature in 1958 before being turned into a popular international franchise in the 1980s.

The show featured a cast of voice actors that included Roger C. Carmel, Avery Schreiber, Julie McWhirter, Frank Welker, Danny Goldman, June Foray, Paul Winchell, William Callaway, Don Messick, Lucille Bliss, Pat Musick, Alan Oppenheimer, Allan Lurie, Hamilton Camp, Jack Angel, Lewis Arquette, Mary Jo Catlett, Russi Taylor, Susan Silo, Ruth Buzzi, Michael Bell, Jonathan Winters, Lennie Weinrib, Janet Waldo, Keene Curtis, Charlie Adler, Noelle North, Susan Blu, Marshall Efron, Kip King, Linda Gary, Brenda Vaccaro, Bob Holt, and Jennifer Darling.

The Smurfs are tiny, blue-skinned creatures who live in a magical forest. The show follows their adventures as they try to protect their village from the evil wizard Gargamel and his loyal cat Azrael. The Smurfs have a peaceful and idyllic life, but their world is constantly threatened by outside forces. They must rely on each other and their unique abilities to protect themselves and their home.

Papa Smurf is the leader of the Smurf village, and he oversees the development and day-to-day operation of the little town. Other popular Smurf characters include Smurfette, a female Smurf who was created by Gargamel to infiltrate and destroy the village, but who ultimately proved her worth and became one of the family. Brainy Smurf is a know-it-all who often gets on the other Smurfs' nerves. He typically talks about academic subjects and scientific experiments that go over the heads of his simpler-minded companions.

The show has an overarching plotline, but most episodes had a stand-alone story. The show had a number of recurring villains beyond Gargamel, including a group of trolls who also lived in the forest and specialized in stealing vegetables out of the Smurf's garden.

Throughout the course of the show, viewers learned about the individual personalities of each Smurf resident. For instance, Jokey Smurf is always up to something - usually, some kind of prank. He's known for offering gifts to the other residents that often turn out to be gag presents, such as a "surprise" cake that explodes when you cut into it. Clumsy Smurf is another beloved character who always tries to do his best but inevitably ends up tripping over something, knocking over a stack of books, or in some other way causing a commotion.

The show was known for its bright colors, catchy theme song, and charming animation. The characters were designed to be cute and cuddly, so they would appeal to younger viewers. However, the show was popular with audiences of all ages, and many adults still look back fondly on the adventures of their little blue friends.

Overall, Smurfs was a beloved animated series that captured the hearts of viewers during its eight-year run on The WB. Its legacy continues to this day, with the characters now regarded as pop culture icons. The show's imaginative world and lovable characters will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.

Smurfs is a series that ran for 16 seasons (398 episodes) between January 1, 1981 and on The WB
