Baggy Pants and the Nitwits: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Each episode of Baggy Pants and the Nitwits contained two segments: one for Baggy Pants and the other for The Nitwits.

Baggy Pants is an anthropomorphic cat dressed as Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" character, right down to the mustache and cane. Baggy Pants pantomimed in all his misadventures, with very little or no spoken dialogue in his segments.

The Nitwits is about an elderly superhero named Tyrone who, due to public demand, re-emerged from retirement to again fight crime with help from his wife Gladys, taking assignments at his own discretion.
