I remember reading somewhere that the old black and white Popeye cartoons were voiced over after the animations were complete, which is why the actors could ad-lib during the recording. i wish Scrappy doo was like that.

I remember HATING these episodes as a kid! Besides not being as violent as funny as the older episodes, the art style looked dorky too in comparison.

Your haunted house theory is spot on here. It’s almost as if the creators of the cartoon said “Well, we can’t do anything cool like the 60s episodes so let’s just make it as weird and stupid as possible!”

Olive Oyl’s house is as small as The Flintstones’ living room is large.

That being said, my favorite Popeye cartoons are the old black-and-white Max Fleischer productions. I discovered at an older age that Popeye is constantly talking under his breath and saying some pretty funny things.
