"Astronut" was spun-off into his own TV series in the 1965/66 season. It ws originally intended to air on the Saturday-morning schedule of Terrytoons' parent CBS, but instead went into first-run syndication.
Boy, do these cartoons ever bring back memories...! I remembered Deputy Dawg's signature line -- "Dagnabit!" -- but I'd forgotten all about that little sigh he always makes when he's embarrassed.
2:19 That's actually a really well thought out fake out, think about it, most comedies would have had the joke be that the big guy who was starting a fight got beat up by the little guy, and the way Deputy Dawg yells during that scuffle while his pal watches on with a worried expression further causes us to expect this, but when we actually cut back we see that unexpectedly Deputy Dawg is the one who won.
Love the astronut character in this cartoon; by the way, anyone know the name of the other D.D. cartoon w/ the astronut in it?? Been tryin to find that information. Thanx for the D.D. posts! Brings back memories-
