# Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa

Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa is a 1992 American animated television series created by comic book artist Ryan Brown, known for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It aired as part of ABC's Saturday morning lineup.
It was produced by Greengrass Productions in association with King World Productions, and was animated by Gunther-Wahl Productions for its first season and Ruby-Spears Enterprises for its second. At the time of launch, it was the second animated series involving King World Productions to be broadcast (the other was the animated spin-off of The Little Rascals, which aired on ABC from 1982 to 1984).
First broadcast on September 12, 1992, the show ran for two seasons of thirteen episodes each.

## Plot

Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa dealt with a mutation of some kind; an irradiated comet struck the late 19th century Western plains creating a miles high mesa shrouded in clouds. Everything trapped on top of the mesa was "cow-metized" by the light from the "cow-met" and "evolved" into a "bovipomorphic" state. Inspired by old tales of the Wild West, this new bovine community developed to the point where they emulated that era's way of life, including the requisite ruffians and corrupt sheriffs. However, their knowledge of Wild West living was limited, and as such, many things about their culture had to be improvised to 'fill in the blanks'. The concepts of steampunk and Weird West were utilized throughout its run.
The series focuses on trying to keep justice in the frontier territory. The lawbreakers were too much for the corrupt regulators of Cowtown (namely Mayor Oscar Bulloney and Sheriff Terrorbull) to handle by themselves. Helping them out, whether they wanted it or not, were a group of peacekeepers known as C.O.W.-Boys (the C.O.W. part is short for "Code of the West") led by Marshal Moo Montana and joined by the Dakota Dude and the Cowlorado Kid. Marshal Moo Montana and his deputies had their hands full with several ruffians and outlaw gangs that plagued the otherwise peaceful town.

## Characters
### C.O.W.-Boys

* Marshal Moo Montana (voiced by Pat Fraley) is the leader of the C.O.W.-Boys and the marshal of Moo Mesa. Courageous and quick on his hooves, Moo "battles the bad guys and makes the West a safer place to graze". Lives by the Code of the West, which he seems to make up as he goes along (as seen in the episode "The Big Cow Wow"). He has a gun that shoots star-badges and rides a horse named "Cyclone".
* Dakota Dude (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the soft-spoken muscle of Montana's posse, Dakota is calm and level-headed, as he rarely loses his temper, even in near-death experiences (as seen in "Dances with Bulls") and is scared of heights. Dakota agreed to marry Cowlamity Kate in Wedding Bull Blues to save her father's inheritance. Dakota's horse's name is "Rebel".
* Cowlorado Kid (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a Holstein cattle bull who is the youngest of the group and a self-proclaimed ladies' man with a good singing voice, regardless of his skill with the lasso and guitar; also, Cowlorado isn't a deputy yet. In "Stolen on the River", he tries to prove he's worthy of being a deputy by catching Five Card Cud only to get in trouble and be rescued by Dakota and Moo. Cowlorado's horse's name is "Jezebel".

### Supporting

* Lily Bovine (voiced by Charity James) is a bartender, former showgirl, and the owner of the local saloon called The Tumbleweed where the C.O.W.-Boys go to enjoy some Sarsaparilla. Lily is Moo Montana's love interest. Her best friend is Cowlamity Kate.
* Cody Calf (voiced by Troy Davidson as a kid, Rob Paulsen as an adult in "Skull Duggery Rides Again") is a calf who idolizes Moo Montana and hopes to be a lawcow himself when he grows up. He is nicknamed "Calf-Pint" by the C.O.W.-Boys, is apparently related to Lily Bovine in some way, and lives with her, though he does not appear to be her son. Like everyone else, he refers to her as "Miss Lily". Although well-meaning, he often gets himself into serious trouble trying to "help" the lawcows, but has been a useful asset on several occasions.
* Cowlamity Kate Cudster (voiced by Kay Lenz) is a tomboyish rancher and operator of the highly profitable Golden Cud Mine. She's as hardworking and hard-riding as any bull, and has enough skill with a lasso to put Cowlorado to shame. She returns Dakota's romantic feelings where she once gave him the hat he wears and nearly married him in "Wedding Bull Blues". In "The Fastest Filly in the West", it is revealed that Cowlamity Kate has a cousin named Cowleen. Her name is a play on that of the famous Wild West heroine Calamity Jane. She owns a horse named "Tarnation".
* Puma (voiced by Bill Farmer) is a cougar and resident of Cowtown who is the resident shoeshiner.
* J.R. (voiced by Michael Horse) is an Indian bison who occasionally aids Moo, Dakota and Cowlorado if the situation needs it. He tends to ramble about the scientific principles of his inventions which the C.O.W.-Boys don't want to listen to and would be asked to show them how it works.
** Tewah (voiced by Charity James) is an Indian bison in J.R.'s tribe. She is J.R.'s niece and is friends with Cody Calf.
* Buffalo Bull (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a bison who works as Cowtown's blacksmith. In the video game, he is a member of the C.O.W.-Boys. His name is a play on Buffalo Bill.
* Jack (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a rabbit who works as a telegraph operator at Cowtown.
* Gordon Boredon (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a prison warden who runs the prison containing the prisoners that the C.O.W.-Boys apprehend.

### Antagonists

* Mayor Oscar Bulloney (voiced by Michael Greer) is the greedy and corrupt mayor of Cowtown in Moo Mesa, Bulloney rigs elections (as seen in "Stolen on the River") and makes taxes so high that the Masked Bull compares it to stealing. He also serves as Cowtown's crooked Justice of the Peace and Bank President.
* Sheriff Terrorbull (voiced by Joe Piscopo) is a red-furred cattle who received this position from Mayor Bulloney. Terrorbull uses his sheriff's badge to conceal his evil intentions.

Terrorbull was forced to leave Cowtown after losing a bet to Moo in "No Face to Hide", to see who can catch Shock Holiday and became sheriff of the remote town of Lonesome Gulch as Bulloney tells him to put up with it until he can think of a way to get him back into Cowtown. At Lonesome Gulch, Terrorbull continued his unlawful exploits whenever Mayor Bulloney is in need of the Masked Bull.

While working for Mayor Bulloney, she tried to get revenge by running Lily out of business in order for Mayor Bulloney to claim an oil well under the Tumbleweed Saloon.
* Skull Duggery (voiced by Jim Cummings) was a mean miner who had staked his claim on Skull Mountain. He had struck silver and hid it in a secret chamber within his mine. In his second appearance, Skull Duggery planned his revenge on the C.O.W.-Boys by enlisting some ghosts from a ghost town to help him.
