Baggy Pants and the Nitwits is a 1977 animated series, produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and broadcast on NBC.

Each half-hour episode of Baggy Pants and the Nitwits contained two cartoon segments: the Baggy Pants segment and the The Nitwits segment.

Baggy Pants is an anthropomorphic cat dressed as Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" character, right down to the mustache and cane. His misadventures are somewhat reminiscent of Chaplin's, and there is no spoken dialogue in his cartoons.

The Nitwits is about an elderly superhero named Tyrone, who has come out of retirement, and his wife Gladys. These two were based on the characters whom Arte Johnson and Ruth Buzzi acted out in sketches on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, when they were regulars on that program, and the same two actors provided the characters's voices. (Johnson himself was credited, in the opening titles of the according segment, as having "created [The Nitwits] for television.")

The series ran for 13 episodes; it has not been released on home video.
