Their two other shows were ''The Harlem Globetrotters Popcorn Machine'', also on CBS, in 1975, and ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperGlobetrotters'' on NBC in 1979. In the 1977-78 midseason, NBC replayed episodes as part of the two-hour ''Go-Go Globetrotters'' umbrella title (which included elements from that season's ''WesternAnimation/CBBears'', plus ''WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/TheCattanoogaCats Motormouse and Autocat]]''). They also appeared in 1979 on ''Fred & Barney Meet the Shmoo'' in a four-part story arc, ''The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White''.

* FairestOfThemAll: Just as in the original ''Snow White'' story, the Evil Queen tries to do away with Snow White for this reason. Later, after the Prince wakes her from her enchanted sleep, the Globetrotters point out that if Snow White leaves with the Prince to his home country, the Queen will regain her title as the land's most beautiful woman as Snow White will no longer be in it. The Queen agrees and allows them to leave. Later, the Queen consults her magic mirror, but it says ''Curly'' is the fairest of them all. As she storms off in a huff, it turns out Curly and the others were just pulling a prank on her.

* InkSuitActor: A cartoon photo of actress Diahnn Carroll, who starred in a comedy-drama on NBC at the time "Julia," shows up in the debut episode "The Great Geese Goof-Up."

* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: The Globetrotters cheat ''a lot'' in their games (including kicking and headbutting the ball and using foreign objects) but usually only after their opponents cheat. Neither side is ever penalized.

* FairestOfThemAll: Just like in the original story, the Evil Queen tries to do away with Snow White for this reason.

* GenreSavvy: In the Snow White episode, Snow White seems to not be a story in this world and its events are happening for the first time. The Globetrotters nonetheless know a lot of fairy tale tropes like how Snow White needs to be woken by a prince because they have read other fairy tales like ''Literature/SleepingBeauty''.
* TheGhost: Snow White mentions the Seven Dwarves are away in their mines. For this reason, they never appear in the episode and the Globetrotters pretty much take their place.
* KingIncognito: The Evil Queen disguises herself as an old woman to trick Snow White into eating a poisoned apple. The Prince is introduced pretending to be a traveling salesman in order escape boring palace life and move freely amongst the people. Unfortunately, this means the Globetrotters don't believe he's really a prince and boot him out of the cottage when he tries to wake Snow White the first time.

* SchizoTech: The land that Snow White and the Evil Queen hail from (and its neighboring country that the Prince comes from) is one where everybody talks, dresses and acts like it's the Middle Ages and the buildings are either stone castles or thatched cottages. However, it also has a few vehicles, electronic lights and gates, a modern basketball court, and the Queen's MagicMirror seems to really be a computer. It is also clearly set in the present, as several of the characters are fans of the Globetrotters and the Queen invited them to come and put on an exhibition game.

The Globetrotters traveled in a van with their elderly coach, Granny, and their canine TeamPet, Dribbles. Most episodes had them on the way to their next game when they encountered a criminal or other interference. Despite trailing badly in the first half of the game, the Globetrotters always managed to come from behind in the second half.
