Underdog is an American animated series made by Total Television that originally from October 3, 1964 to March 4, 1967. The series originally aired on NBC until 1966, when it channel-hopped to CBS. A few years after its run on CBS had stopped, A syndicated version of the series, adding supporting segments (which were other Total productions such as Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales) were aired on several local syndication markets, with the rights to syndicate it being handled by The Program Exchange (who also handled the syndication rights of series like The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends, The Flintstones and Dennis the Menace). The series then aired on cable markets such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, with the latter two airing a new 1990s remaster of the series by Golden Books Family Entertainment that gives the version a new intro and credits roll.
The series stars Shoeshine Boy, a humble dog named after his street job of cleaning the shoes of customers, who transforms into Underdog when villains attack. In most episodes, the main target of the villains is news reporter Sweet Polly Purebred, Shoeshine's love interest. Underdog nearly always speaks in rhyming couplets, as shown by most of his quotes (mainly "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!").
