When I grew up, this was the most popular dog on TV. I used to watch this show every week.

This guy wasn't Dudley Doright's pet, but maybe he should have been.



Sorry, but I don't know of any cartoon dog Mounties.

There was no dog in the original Bullwinkle versions of the Dudley Doright show. There was Nell and Captain Fennwick, Dudley and his horse, and of course Snidely Whiplash.

Snidely did pair with a dog in the later cartoon Wacky Races - but they changed Snidely's name to Dick Dastardly and the dog's name was Muttley.

Klondike Kat! He used to chase a French-Canadian mouse outlaw named Savoir Faire. His catchphrase was, "I'll make mincemeat out of that mouse!"

Klondike Kat's series was about a cat constantly chasing a mouse, but it didn't have anything like the impact of Tom & Jerry. It was about a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but it wasn't nearly as famous as Dudley Do-Right. It took place in the Frozen North, but it wasn't even as big a deal as Breezly & Sneezly, and that one was extremely minor among 1960s Hanna-Barbera productions. It was merely a minor back segment from a minor animation studio, but it did last longer than most because it was a back segment in more than one show.
As a Mountie, Klondike took his orders from Major Minor (but not the Major Minor who was out to put Snagglepuss's head on his wall). The "man" Klondike always got was cheese thief Savoir Faire, a mouse, whose catch phrase, rendered in an appropriately cheesy French accent, was "Savoir Faire is everywhere!" Rounding out the cast was Malamutt, a dog. Klondike's voice was done by Mort Marshall, a face actor who did do a little voice work for this one studio. Major Minor was Kenny Delmar, whose radio character, Senator Claghorn, was Mel Blanc's inspiration for Foghorn Leghorn.

This segment started off filling the empty minutes of Tennessee Tuxedo's 1963 Saturday morning show, alongside reruns of Tooter Turtle and The Hunter from the old King Leonardo show. There was another new segment in the rotation, The World of Commander McBragg. The production company, formerly known as Total Television, had been renamed Leonardo Productions after its earlier success.

The practice of re-using back segments was continued in the studio's next half-hour show, Underdog, which is how Klondike Kat came to last as long as he did. After it moved to CBS in 1966, the Underdog back segments included Klondike Kat along with a new segment, Go Go Gophers, a miniature western with a two-Indian tribe versus a two-cavalryman Army post.

In 1968, the Gophers got their own show, with the same tired old Klondike Kat episodes as a back segment. It lasted one season, and that was the last time Klondike Kat was seen.

I remember the Gophers - just barely. I mostly remember the theme song. I'll bet it was inspired by the sitcom F Troop.

I had totally forgotten those Go Go Gophers.

As I remember it, the Gopher who was not the chief was the brains of the operation, but couldn't speak and used outlandish sign language instead. The chief spoke broken English, even when there was no one there except the other Gopher. Apparently, their "tribe" had no language of its own.

Roland, you completely stole my thunder! I was going to put up a picture of the gophers and ask who knew them. Then, I was going to ask if anyone knew the TV show the cartoons was based on. You pre-empted me!!! I used to watch the TV show with Larry Storch, Ken Berry and Forrest Tucker and then I watched the cartoon show too. They were so funny!!!

Funny thing, we were on absolutely the same wave length! Identical thoughts! Great minds must think alike (or fools never differ).......

You forgot Melody Patterson as Wrangler Jane. She lied about her age so that she could start acting in the series at age 16!
