The Deputy Dawg Show

I haven't seen my oil' canine hero since 1971! Back in the early 1960s (around 1964) we used to watch it every afternoon on our Zenith portable black & white set around supper time. Sometimes we used to wheel the set in the kitchen and watch it as we ate supper. Ah, those were the days! Then, in 1971, I rediscovered the pure joy of watching our canine hero battle them nasty lil' varmints. At the ripe mature age of 17, I found that even though I had grown up a bit, I still enjoyed Deputy Dawg every bit as much as I did when I was growing up! It was such a wonderfully ridiculous cartoon that was so wonderfully "rural" with the drawl and the background hillbilly music! They sure don't make 'em like that anymore. Such a shame! I'll bet my retirement check that if I ever got my hands on a DVD or video of DEPUTY DAWG, I would discover that at the age of 51, I would have a riot watching the antics of Deputy Dawg and all them varmints giving him a run for the money!

I loved this whenever we had a rare chance to see it on the Tellee

It's really a shame this happens to be one of those shows that just gets lost in time and swept under the cartoon carpet.

I believe it's because either no one owns the copyright anymore that we don't see a proper retail release of these shows. I see them pop up from time to time on those cheap dollar store collections, but they are often very bad quality and several generations in as far as quality goes.

This show deserves more. Just ask Adam Sandler or Jim Carey, both of whom list Deputy Dawg as their favorite cartoon of all time. Well, you can add me to that list as well.

If one were to Google around they might find some of the shows available, but come on... someone snatch up the rights to this and release a proper, remastered box set already!!

Deputy Dawg was one of my favorite cartoons as a child, but right now I'm trying to recall if he's the one who talked really slow - almost as if he had a mouthful of marbles - and was always saying "oh me, oh my"... But, I haven't figure out how to access the film clips on the IMDb website ~ would someone please enlighten me on the process for viewing the Deputy Dawg show? Thanks. Hey, while I'm on the topic of cartoons... one of my other favorites was the dog - sheepdog? - who, when given a treat, would hug himself, float up into the air (laying down)and then gently float back down to the ground when he exhaled - sighing delightedly all the way. Anyone remember the name of that cartoon? Thanks for your assistance! Lorena

I'm the second person to comment on this classic cartoon from the 50's. However,it has not been seen in ages since the last time it was shown near my area was back in the early 1980's on a local TV station that I picked up out of Columbia,South Carolina(which was a NBC-TV affillate). However,Dayton Allen(who was the voice of Deputy Dawg and numerous other characters)made a huge ton of money off of this,but it was one of Paul Terry's classic creations that was along with his famous stars.... "Here I come to save the day!!!"-MIGHTY MOUSE!!! and those wisecracking magpie birds of mischief HECKLE AND JECKLE. However,its a crying shame that you don't see these classic Terrytoons cartoons anymore,and I wonder why,especially DEPUTY DAWG and his always mischief friends like the 'always on his case' sheriff and his sidekicks Vincent Van Gopher and Roger Raccoon in some sticky situation or another as he tries to maintain law and order in the South. My dad when he was a kid used to see this in theatres,but nowadays I don't know if is out on video cause it needs to be shown.
