- Quotes
[theme song]
Dick Dastardly: Muttley, you sniggering cowardly hound / When courage is needed, you're never around! / Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest / should be for bungling, in which you are best! / / So, Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon / Stop the pigeon, how? / Nab him, jab him / tab him, grab him / stop that pigeon NOW!
Dick Dastardly: So, Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon / Stop the pigeon, how? / Nab him, jab him / tab him, grab him / stop that pigeon NOW!
Dick Dastardly: You, Zilly, stop sneaking, you don't have a chance / For you return by the seat of your pants! / And you, Klunk, build me a thingumabob / That catches that pigeon, or I'll lose my job!
Dick Dastardly: So, Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon / Stop the pigeon, how? / Nab him, jab him / tab him, grab him / stop that pigeon NOW!

It was set during the First World War. Dick Dastardly was piloting a heap of junk aided by his dog Muttley and they tried to stop the pigeon flying his messages to Uncle Sam. Of course, you can guess that they never succeeded in much the sam way as Wile E. Coyote never managed to catch Road Runner.
It was a spin-off from Wacky Races and it was highly amusing and totally watchable. Call me sad but it was compelling viewing and I just loved the sound of Muttley's laugh.
