The Get Along Gang were characters created in 1983 by American Greetings' toy design and licensing division, "Those Characters from Cleveland" (now American Greetings Properties), for a series of greeting cards. The Get Along Gang was a group of twelve (and later, fourteen) pre-adolescent anthropomorphic animal characters in the fictional town of Green Meadow, who had formed a club that met in an abandoned caboose and who had various adventures whose upbeat stories intended to show the importance of teamwork and friendship. The success of the greeting card line led to a Saturday morning television series, which was produced by Creator/DiCEntertainment and aired on Creator/{{CBS}} for one season, from 1984 until 1985. The time slot was replaced by Disney's WesternAnimation/TheWuzzles. From January until July 1986, CBS aired reruns.

The Get Along Gang were characters created in 1983 by American Greetings' toy design and licensing division, "Those Characters from Cleveland" (now American Greetings Properties), for a series of greeting cards. The Get Along Gang was a group of twelve (and later, fourteen) pre-adolescent anthropomorphic animal characters in the fictional town of Green Meadow, who had formed a club that met in an abandoned caboose and who had various adventures whose upbeat stories intended to show the importance of teamwork and friendship. The success of the greeting card line led to a Saturday morning television series, which aired on CBS for one season, from 1984 until 1985. The time slot was replaced by Disney's The Wuzzles.WesternAnimation/TheWuzzles. From January until July 1986, CBS aired reruns.

Each of the characters had obvious faults, which they learned to overcome with the aid of their friends. Montgomery Moose, the group's leader, was quite clumsy, Woolma Lamb was extremely vain and self-centered, Dotty Dog could be careless, Portia Porcupine had temper tantrums, Zipper Cat could be over-the-bit, and Bingo Beaver could be greedy and tended to get himself and/or others into trouble, although he was not mean-spirited like the Gang's enemy, Catchum Crocodile.

----
!Contains examples of:
* AlliterativeName: Montgomery Moose, Dotty Dog, Portia Porcupine, Bingo "Bet-It-All" Beaver, Flora "Forget-Me-Not" Fox, Catchum Crocodile, Leland Lizard.
** There were exceptions however: Zipper Cat, Woolma Lamb, Braker Turtle. Montgomery becomes this if one considers his full name: Montgomery "Good News" Moose.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: How some people view the entire message of the show.
** Inverted in the episode ''School's Out''. All of them save one, had very good reason to complain: Catchum and Leland had switched test papers, making it look as though none of them even answered the test questions. Montgomery was willing to have all of them accept their "punishment" anyway, but the others knew it wasn't right. In this case, the "complainers" were right this time, plus they were even able to get Catchum and Leland to confess what they had done.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: The anthropomorphic critters in the cast. Even Braker Turtle, who [[RemovableShell doesn't own a turtle shell]].
* FunnyAnimal: The cast, obviously.
* FurryConfusion: And how! (There are editors still trying to figure out why there's a ''zoo'' in this series.)
** RuleOfCool / MST3KMantra
* GangOfCritters: May be the trope namer.
* HeyItsThatVoice: In the Pilot, Montgomery is [[HillStreetBlues Andrew Renko]], Leland is Doug [=McKenzie=], and Mr. Hoofnagel is [[TheRedGreenShow Mike Hamar]].
** As for Bingo Beaver? That's Scott Menville of Teen Titans, and Mission Hill fame. "No meat touching, ma'am!"
*** He was also Brian, RainbowBrite's friend from Earth, as well as [[CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Ma-Ti]].
** Dottie is RainbowBrite herself.
** Portia (and Miss Deering) are both [[{{Bonkers}} Marilyn Piquel]], and [[TenchiMuyo Sasami]].
** Montgomery in the series is RichieRich, and the SaturdaySupercade version of [[SpaceAce Dexter]] (but not his older persona).
** Officer Growler is [[YogiBear Boo-Boo Bear, Ranger Smith]], [[JonnyQuest (the second voice of) Dr. Benton Quest]], and many other HannaBarbera characters.[[hottip:*:This show was made by DIC, however.]] [[{{Series/TheTransformers}} Transformers]] fans will know him as the original Ratchet.
* JustEatGilligan: Removing Bingo "Bet-It-All" Beaver would have saved the gang some problems.
* NotAsYouKnowThem: The thankfully canned reimagining. You can't watch [[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5277330888234454019&q=get+along+gang+pilot&total=10&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1 this pilot]] without planting some EpilepticTrees regarding how [[spoiler: sweet little Portia Porcupine may have [[BewareTheNiceOnes possibly betrayed the original Gang]] sometime in the past 60 years and is now organizing a new Get Along Gang either to atone for her previous sins or to facilitate a BatmanGambit against the "common foe" the theme song speaks of... or both]]. Bonus: Where did they get ''Holograms?''
* OnOneCondition: Zipper was once given a deadline to claim inheritance.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Bad guys: Catchum Crocodile and Leland Lizard; Good guys: Braker Turtle. [[TurtlePower Of course]].
* [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed By The Rights Holders]]: Along with TheLittles, S'More Entertainment was planning to release the complete series on DVD. However, American Greetings was successfully able to block the release completely, [[OrSoIHeard possibly]] because, as the rights holders, they likely had the final say on the matter, possibly because of certain terms of the agreement between and AG and S'More. However, no explanation was given for why they blocked the release. In any case, Mill Creek Entertainment has been re-releasing the show on various configurations, although they have to do a complete series release.
* TooSmartForStrangers: Ends up being subverted, since one-off character Sammy Skunk ("The toughest carny there is") is really a nice guy. [[spoiler:He did save Woolma from being hit by a car, after all.]]
