1* AdaptationDisplacement: For quite many people outside of the core markets of FrancoBelgianComics, this series was their first introduction to the series, before they realized that it was based on a comic book series.
2* AmericansHateTingle: Despite being co-produced by Creator/HannaBarbera (which produced another series adapted from FrancoBelgianComics, ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}'', to great success in the USA), the 1983-1984 season of the series was a huge failure in the USA. The [[TheWestern Western genre]] having faded out in popularity in the US since about the late [[TheSixties '60s]] both on film and on television as well as English language translations of the comic books being [[NoExportForYou fairly rare and obscure at the time]] probably didn't help.
3* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
4** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7T5ycOX6ZE 1983 opening]], which starts with an electric guitar, has become almost as iconic as "I'm a Poor Lonesome Cowboy" and it sounds awesome to every language it has been translated to.
5** The manic [[https://youtu.be/dWxZPbSMb2I 1991 opening]] with banjo, harmonica and honkytonk piano is no slouch either.
6* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
7** It was a big hit in UsefulNotes/{{Europe}} and helped skyrocket the comics' popularity.
8** It was also popular in UsefulNotes/{{Turkey}} and it's the main reason why ComicBook/LuckyLuke is known in this country.
