Go Go Gophers is an animated series set in the Old West that appears as a 4-5 minute long segment within 48 episodes of the Underdog TV series. It was then spun off as a separate series on CBS that aired from September 14, 1968 to September 6, 1969. However, the episodes were just repeats of the 48 segments that aired on the Underdog series. The show also shared with Space Kidettes on Saturday morning television in 1967. The show was produced by Total Television. The show was unusual for Old West-themed series, in that the Native American characters always beat the cowboys. Plot The series is set in the late 19th century, as well as the early 20th century, in the American West.

We have fun!" and/or "You-um genius!". They are also aided by Colonel Coyote's own incompetence and ineptitude and also by his constantly ignoring the advice of Sergeant Homa, who is much more perceptive. In one episode, they actually mention that they need Colonel Coyote to stay in charge so that they can continue living in Gopher Gulch, worrying that any other replacement will prove to be impossible to deal with and might succeed in his mission to remove them. Another common statement is done when the Sergeant says: "Begging the Colonel's pardon", and also a common statement take place when the Colonel, who ignores the Sergeant reads his book of
