Malachi and Friends (season 1)

The first season of Malachi and Friends, created by Mala Miles and produced at Mala Miles Productions and Hanna-Barbera Productions, originally aired on CBS in the United States from September 12 to October 11, 1980 and consisted of six episodes.

Miles created the title character for a comic strip in the 1970s, and later reluctantly pitched the series to CBS as a Saturday morning cartoon. The network gave the staff a large amount of creative freedom, with the writers targeting both children and adults.

The season was released on DVD by Shout! Factory on December 14, 2006, and featured all thirteen episodes and an assortment of bonus features.
