Odd: I was just searching for a link on You Tube. I was sure I saw it there, when it was "The Tom and Jerry Grape Ape Show."

And Featuring...The Great Grape Ape..." it was more a small part of the Tom and Jerry Show theme.

"...Everything's going to swing, so get ready, here we go.
Big or small short or tall you will all have a ball on the Tom and Jerry Grape Ape Show."

But it seems he DId have his own show:
Grape Ape

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Great Grape Ape was a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that was broadcast on ABC from 1975 to 1978. The titular character is a 40 foot tall gorilla (voiced by Bob Holt) who loves grapes...so much, he goes bananas! His catchphrase is repeating his name twice ("Grape Ape, Grape Ape") after anything anyone says, usually as a form of agreement or acknowledgement of what was said. He travels the countryside with his canine pal (voiced by Marty Ingels), Beegle Beagle (whom he calls "Beegley Beagley"). Grape Ape's immense size tends to initially shock and frighten those unfamiliar with him, and his presence alone has often terrified people, animals, and even a road sign once, causing them to run off screaming invariably: "YEOW! A gorill-ill-ill-ill-la!"

The show was originally broadcast as one of the segments of The New Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show during the 1975–1976 season. For the 1976–1977 season, the show became The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show, and in 1977 The Great Grape Ape Show became its own half-hour show on Sunday Mornings. 32 10-minute installments of Grape Ape were made; 2 were aired per show. In the 1980s repeats of The Great Grape Ape Show were shown on USA's Cartoon Express; they were later restored and run on Cartoon Network, and are currently shown on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang as part of the Boomerang Zoo package (unlike the showings on the USA Network, Boomerang [in America] only airs the individual 10-minute Grape Ape cartoons instead of the usual generic Great Grape Ape Show half-hour format).

Grape Ape also appeared as a member of the "Yogi Yahooies" team on Laff-a-Lympics, as well as in an episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, where he was accused of using anabolic steroids.

Yes as a matter of fact, Grape Ape did indeed have his own show.
