famous studios, which produced the theatrical entries from 1942 to 1957, also returned, although by this point they had been renamed paramount cartoon studios. the series was produced using the limited animation technique, whose production values contrasted sharply to their "popeye" theatrical counterparts. the artwork was streamlined, simplified for television budgets, and the entries were completed at a breakneck pace. 220 made-for-television cartoons were produced in two years; in contrast, 231 theatrical cartoons were produced over 24 years. several minor changes were made for the characters. though world war ii had ended 15 years prior, popeye still retained his white navy uniform (except in "barbecue for two", in which he wears his original black navy garb). olive oyl's appearance was a hybrid of different incarnations; while her outfit reverted to the fleischer years of a red turtleneck, long black dress and huge shoes, her hair retained the mid/late 1940s and 1950s makeover initiated by famous studios (except in "barbecue for two", in which she is portrayed in her fleischer/early famous studios design, and "hits and missiles", in which she wears her later famous studios clothes of red shirt with collar, black dress, and black high-heel shoes).
