Trivia
Along with Bob Quigley Heater came up with a concept for a game show called "Wacky Races" in which contestants would bet on various race cars. However, when it was presented to Fred Silverman, who at the time was in charge of daytime programming for CBS, he instead had it retooled to become a Saturday morning animated series that was produced by Hanna-Barbera with Heater and Quigley given co-producer credit.
