The Deputy Dawg Show

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!!

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.

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

When i was about 8 years old my father bought me and my brothers a video of Deputy Dawg. I remember he had some sidekick who i think was some kind of blind beaver and he used to say "its possible, its possible, its possible..." in this funny way and that has stuck with me to this day.

The only episode that sticks out in my mind is when they had a "do-it-yourself" speedboat delivered and just remember laughing so hard watching it.

Im sure if it was played on T.V. today it would win a whole new generation of young (and old) fans.

I used to watch Deputy Dawg cartoons on the Hobo Kelly Show in the early 60's in Los Angeles and it remains one of my favorite cartoons of all time. I'll try to answer some of the questions posed by the other reviewers and clear up a few misconceptions. First of all, the cartoon was not from the 50's. It ran from 1962 to 1963. The character who said "It's possible. It's possible" was Muskie Muskrat. The "blind" character was Vincent Van Gopher, who could see much better in the dark underground. The raccoon was not named Roger. His name was Ty Coon. Oh, and the cartoon character who would always say "Oh me, oh my" was the hyena named Hardy Har Har from Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har. Also, Snuffles was the floating dog from the cartoon Quick Draw McGraw. Lastly, I was able to purchase 53 Deputy Dawg episodes, which is about half of the total made, from a seller on EBay. They were bootleg copies but the quality was quite good, especially considering the series was made fifty years ago. A complete remastered box set would be awesome!
