Go Go Gophers

***Go Go Gophers*** is an American animated *Total Television Productions* series that aired as part of the NBC/CBS Saturday morning cartoon *The Underdog Show* from 1963 to 1966. In 1968, *Go Go Gophers* got its own half hour series on CBS Saturday mornings, although reusing previous episodes made for *The Underdog Show.*

## Summary

The cartoon series takes place in the 19th-early 20th century in the American West. Each cartoon features Colonel Kit Coyote and Sergeant Okey Homa trying to get rid of last two gopher Indians out of Gopher Gulch: Running Board and Ruffled Feather, but the joke gets on the coyotes as the two smart gophers thwart their plans. Even though most of the storylines were episodic, a few stories spanned a few cartoons. Each cartoon noticeably ends with Okey telling the viewers in some way to not miss the next adventure/episode, an uncommon example (at least for TTV) of breaking the fourth wall.

## Lyrics

### Opening 1

*Two little Indians, all others gone*

*Two little Indians left all alone*

*No buffalo to run, no tribe to lead*

*What can they do for run?*

Ruffled Feather: Gibbleibbielbieblbelbleblebebeh!

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

Here comes Colonel with his Sergeant, both are roarin' and-a chargin'!

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

### Opening 2

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

*Two little Indians, no other near*

*Colonel, he vows these two soon disappear*

*Fighting the army with soldiers galore*

*What can two Indians do*

Ruffled Feather: Gibbleibbielbieblbelbleblebebeh!

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

Here comes Colonel with his Sergeant, both are roarin' and-a chargin'!

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

*Go Go Gophers, watch 'em go, go, go!*

## Cast

* Kenny Delmar - Kit Coyote

* George S. Irving - Running Board

## Trivia

* A stylized board game was made based on the cartoons, as seen in the July 1965 issue of *The Golden Magazine.*
* The title card copyright says 1962. Possibly the cartoons were produced in that year, two years before they were aired.
* This TTV series is certainly one that would be looked down upon due to its racial Indian stereotypes.
