Go Go Gophers

Go Go Gophers

"Go Go Gophers" was a western/comedy animated series that originally appeared on the "Underdog" series from 1966 to 1968 before being briefly spun off as a separate series on CBS in 1968 and 1969.

The series is set in the late nineteenth century in the American west. There the commandant of a local United States Army fort, one Colonel Kit Coyote (voiced by Kenny Delmar) and his Sergeant (rarely called by his name, Okey Homa and voiced by Sandy Becker) attempt to secure the town of Gopher Gulch by wiping out the last two surviving Gopher Indians, Ruffled Feathers (Becker) and Running Board (George S. Irving). However, the Gophers prove to be very clever and always manage to foil Coyote's plans.

The character voices were patterned after celebrities; Kit Coyote was strongly influenced by Theodore Roosevelt, while the Sergeant had a voice much like John Wayne's. Running Board spoke heavily accented English while Ruffled Feathers spoke in what sounded like babbling. (This may account for why the series is no longer seen in syndication.)
