  • Underdog was a classic, and one of my personal favorites.

    Underdog was a 60s classic. It was innocent fun and great for the whole family (seriously, adults; don't be embarrasad to watch this amazing show). I used to watch it every night at around 8pm in the early 2000s until they mysteriously took it off TV. Now, with the new Underdog movie I had watched just a few days ago, brings back a lot of good memories. Underdog was adorable, hilarious, endearing, lovable, and irreplacable. Who thought of this and who were the cruel monsters who took it off TV? Underdog is forever my favorite old 60s show. I feel it is underappreciated. Someone, be my hero, and bring back the infamous Underdog!moreless

    Underdog has been a surprisingly durable cartoon character and series. Produced during the 60s and 70s it has lasted all the way to 2005's live action movie. That movie had almost nothing in common with the old cartoon, unfortunately. Still, it says something about the staying power of the franchise.

    Underdog was a blatant parody of Superman. Underdog's secret identity was Shoeshine Boy, who would take a special energy pill and transform in Underdog. Underdog would usually have to save Sweet Polly Purebred, the Lois Lane stand-in.

    Like most long-lasting cartoon series, Underdog had a great theme song. "Here I come to save the day!"

    Interestingly, Underdog has stayed in the public consciousness for so many decades partly as one of the more famous floats in Thanksgiving Day parades.

    Underdog's animation was often a bit crude, and the storylines were simplistic, but the show had a certain sweetness about it that endeared it and the character to its many fans.moreless

  • "Theres no need to fear, Underdog is here"! By day, the mild mannered Shoeshineboy becomes the superheroic Underdog when the call for help goes out, usually from Sweet Polly Purebred. he fights villians like Simon Bar Sinister and Riff Raff.moreless

    Okay, I love Underdog. I admit it. Though it is a similar animation style to Bullwinkle, it was produced by a differant company. The humor is more subdued, and plots standard, but there is a simplicity to this character thats very appealing. For one thing, Wally Cox was born to be the voice of Underdog. Rarely has a voice talent been so perefectly married to a cartoon character. And I love the sing song dialogue of Underdogs. And while the villians are standard, I actually get a kick out of Riff Raff with his gangster duds and Sheldon Leonard-like voice. While Bullwinkle was a little more "out there", I actually preferred Underdog and its gentility. And I also liked the music, with its, "Underdog, Underdog....ahhhhhh...Underdog, Underdog!" I was somewhat disappionted that they made a live action movie rather than stick to the familar animation. But the TV series will always have a special place in my heart.moreless

    I'm happen to see the big screen version of "Underdog." Even though I didn't like the movie, I brought me back memories of the 1960's and those memories of a dog that could fight crime. His name was Underdog. Now here's a series that may be a tiny bit weak in the amination department, but the music score was second to none, even better than the music score that was heard on Hanna-Barbara show at the time. He batle villains such as simon Bar sinister and Riff Raff and then rescue Polly. Not much of a cartoon, but much better than the movie.moreless

    Underdog was a classic about a dog who is a shoe-cleaner& when sweet polly is in trouble he is underdog & defeating simon bar sinister & his lacky kad

    the dialog is similar to a Veggietales episode & Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Inland also & there great to teach kids how to deal with there problum & there was decent voice-acting in all 2 parters & shouldn't be taken-off because it good for Childen to watch

    I hope Boomerang will bring it back some day,because Baby Looney Tunes are ugly, gross, & horrible to look at

    do not watch Baby Looney Tune EVER!moreless
