Review of Underdog

Underdog (1964–1973)
4/10
Underwhelmed By "Underdog"
14 July 2015
(Frequently uttered "Underdog" quote) - "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"

Now, I wouldn't exactly say that I hated these Underdog cartoons. But, then again, I really couldn't say that I liked them all that much, either.

If you ask me - I think that a much more appropriate name for this particular animated, canine superhero would have been "Blunderdog" (even though through all of his many blunders he certainly did, indeed, manage to save the day in every episode) - So, I guess, in the long run, the name Underdog was a suitable enough name, as well.

Anyway - Along with the animation-style of these cartoons being very limited, flat and uninspired, I also found the situations Underdog got himself involved in to be far too repetitive and predictable in nature. And, as far a humor goes, most of the time, the laughs were all real hit & miss stuff, which got pretty stale, real fast.

All-in-all - I thought that these cartoons from the mid-1960s to be best suited for the entertainment of very young kids and nostalgic adults.
