The Get Along Gang is a group of young anthropomorphic animals created by American Greetings in 1983. The characters met in an abandoned caboose and had adventures that highlighted the importance of teamwork, diversity, and friendship. Because of the success of the books and merchandise, the show was given one season (13 episodes) on CBS television from 1984-1985, but remained on the air in rerun through 1986. The Get Along Gang was also picked up by other distributors for merchandise after its television debut including Tomy toys, Scholastic Press, and Marvel Comics. Although the series waned in popularity, the animated series was later rebroadcast on multiple television stations in the 90s and 00s, later resulting in several versions of DVD releases with varying episodes.
