I got this for my father for Christmas(He was a little kid when they made these, and he LOVED this show). I didn't think that it would be that good(my mother said it wasn't), but when I watched it I found out it was REALLY GREAT!!!!! Underdog is really funny and VERY original. Simon Barsinister's plan to "dry up all the water in the world" with his "big dipper" was HISTERICAL!!!!He apparently thought that he could enslave all of mankind because he had all the water in the world. I also find it funny that they always choose Underdog to gaurd huge amounts of gold,It's always "the largest shipment of gold ever made", and the gold always gets stolen, usually by Riff Raff. The shorts are also all very funny, particuarly Go-Go Gophers and Tooter Turtle. Shame be to anyone who finds this show violent or inapropriate! If you think THIS is violent, you should see shows kids are watching THESE DAYS(Pokemon, Yugi-Oh, Digimon, etc.)! THIS SHOW IS WONDERFUL!!! EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Underdog
Parents need to know that since this cartoon began life as a serial, sometimes episodes will conclude at the end of the half hour ... and sometimes they won't. And they're not necessarily being rerun in order. Young kids just don't get this, and they may be dismayed not to be able to "see what happens." What's more, the series is filled with every imaginable stereotype from the '60s, from helpless heroines to foreign baddies, as well as typical cartoon violence of the era (characters shoot cannons at each other, etc.).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can discuss what the show is parodying. What standard superhero clichés and devices are used here, and how? What could be added or changed to make the series stronger or funnier? Would you rather be Underdog, Superman, or The Tick? Families who see the live-action movie based on the cartoon might enjoy comparing the two, paying particular attention to how the story has been modernized.
