message: I've removed the following reference, because as far as I can tell, no such DVD is commercially available.
:All 120 episodes are available on a DVD anthology.
The only Underdog DVDs I can find in production are several volumes of incomplete selections from the series.  I cannot find any evidence of the complete single volume anthology that the article mentions.
If someone is certain an official release exists, by all means, post a link for confirmation and revert my edit. ~CS 11:51, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Simon seems plausible to be based on Lionel Barrymore, but does any particular performance by Barrymore come to mind? Cad reminded my dad of Lon Chaney Jr, and am I the only one who thinks that Polly could have been based on an early-career Barbara Walters? What say you? knoodelhed 07:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was actually looking at the Barrymore page when I found he had died in 1954. I came here to see who voiced Simon, as it had always sounded dead-on Lionel Barrymore to me. I think it was not uncommon for animated voice-players to use imitations of real actors for appropriate roles, whether they were based on specific performances or not.

message: The theme song for Underdog comes from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.  This is OR, so I haven't added it to the page.  Any suggestions as to what to do, other than just sit on it? Matchups 02:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There could have been an influence on some level, but in a classic case of visually-impaired people encountering an elephant for the first time, I'lll have to say it bears more resemblance to early 20th century "singing cowboy" music, like Ghost Riders In The Sky. knoodelhed 01:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Underdog.jpg

message: According to the episode guide I saw on TV.com
There are 4 regular episodes ("Safe Waif," "March of the Monsters," "Simon Says," and "Tricky Trap By Tap Tap") and 30 4-part episodes (it looks like each four-part episode aired on the same day as one 1/2 hour episode, you know, with commercials inbetween parts). So, logically these 30 4-part episodes, should be 1 episode each instead of 4... thus equaling 34 episodes total instead 124.  Does anyone else see what I am saying?  170.104.115.26 16:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Pollypurebred.jpg

message: I have always heard that latter-day reruns of Underdog cut out the scenes where Underdog took his super energy pill. However, there were definitely rebroadcasts in recent years that retained those scenes; I remember seeing him take his super energy pill back when Nickelodeon showed it in the early 90s. Does anybody else remember this?--76.205.143.83 (talk) 05:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Just so general folks and editors alike know ...
The Underdog Episode List as presented on the Underdog wikipedia article page is the post-1960s syndicated version. The original series first ran on NBC from October 25th 1964 to September 3rd 1966, during which time Tennessee Tuxedo ran on CBS. For the 1966-67 season, when CBS began showcasing various super-hero programs such as Space Ghost and Superman, Underdog replaced Tennessee on the CBS Saturday morning line-up. For two years, 1966 thru 1968, Tennessee was a Sunday afternoon show on ABC.
This is only my personal recollection. If old 1960's issues of TV Guide could be found, they could at least verify Tennessee's Sunday tenure on ABC.
