Richie Rich is a 1996 animated television series produced by The Harvey Entertainment Company and Film Roman and distributed by Claster Television. It is based on the Harvey Comics character of the same name. It aired for one season, and also includes select Harveytoons shorts.^[1]

Unlike the Hanna-Barbera version which depicted a somewhat older Richie closer to adolescence, this revival series was more faithful to the comics, as Richie Rich appeared in his original form as a younger child in his tuxedo and shorts.^[2]

Episodes

13 episodes were produced, with each one split into three segments. The first segment is always a new Richie Rich short; the second and third segments in Episodes 1-12 were original Harveytoon cartoons (in the same manner as The Baby Huey Show). The second segment was always a Herman and Katnip cartoon (or at least featured one of the duo), while the third segment featured Little Audrey cartoons for Episodes 1-9 and miscellanious cartoons for Episodes 10-12. Episode 13 replaced both segments for original cartoons with reruns of a previous Richie Rich short.
