There is one episode available on one of the Saturday Morning Cartoons compilations. Didn't Quick Draw air for a season or two on CBS after it's syndication run?

Your observations about "Quick Draw McGraw" were interesting; I always thought that this was one of the best series of H-B's TV career. I first saw them on local Detroit TV on Channel 50(WKBD-UHF) in the early 1970's, and later USA Cable Network in the 1980's.My favorite "Quick Draw" episodes are the one with "Texas Tillie" in "Gun Shy Gal" and The one with "El Ka-Bong" in the episode with "The Rancher's Daughter who's always alone" (no-named, for some reason.) The most memorable thing about "Snooper and Bllabber" was a tie-in album from 1965 on HBR Records about "The Monster's Shindig" with a song from pre-Three Dog Night's Danny Hutton. A favorite "Augie Doggie" episode involved Augie wanting a horse, and driving poor Daddy Doggie up the wall about it (typical spoiled child storyline; what kid wouldn't want an expensive horse or pony?)As for any psychology experiences at age 5, it wasn't anty on the cartoons themselves, but for me personally, it was the Screen Gems Dancing Sticks logo that appeared on many of the early 60's H-B syndicated packages. Somehow, I felt that those jumpy sticks,possibly inspired from some National Film Board Of Canada animated shorts from Norman McLaren involving a seemingly ordinary, but lively cartoon about vertical lines and on another one, vertical lines, squiggles, and blobs to the background of an electric piano (on the first one ) and a ragtime piano (on the second one.) These experimental cartoons were made in 1958 and 1960, and Screen Gems unveiled the dancing sticks logo on September 15, 1963 were traumatizing at the time along with Frank DeVol's music and Colin Male's announcing. 51 years later, it's one of my favorite closing logos, ever. The "S From Hell" logo that followed on September 13, 1965, wasn't so scary; it was just a abstract, stylistic letter "S" to me. Carlo Vinci and George Nicholas was excellent on the animation as well. I just wish that whenever Warner Brothers re-issues this show on Boomerang or DVD, they would include the opening and closing title segments as well; removing Screen Gems name from the products to me is really no excuse; I feel they should make a negotiating deal with Columbia/Sony for a proper future re-packaging plan for die-hard fans like you and me. Oh well, it's only wishful thinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11045667920577588278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-51362801597062508932020-03-19T01:56:45.675-07:002020-03-19T01:56:45.675-07:00Yeah, kind of like you didn't hear, "well...Yeah, kind of like you didn't hear, "well, Tex Avery had this Southern wolf and the voice was great, so..."Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-41692337157026730652020-03-18T19:11:28.292-07:002020-03-18T19:11:28.292-07:00Bill and Joe saying, "We watched many situati...Bill and Joe saying, "<i>We watched many situation comedy shows and came up with 'Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy,' a father and son canine pair, who encounter all the problems of fathers and sons everywhere,</i>" probably sounded better for the adult-themed point of the story than "<i>We watched our own 1950s Tom & Jerry cartoons and decided to take the 'Spike & Tyke' concept and let Mike tweak it slightly for TV, in giving Augie a voice and making him the smart one here.</i>" (Daddy's failure in front of his son being similar to Bob McKimson's Sylvester Jr. cartoons likely also wasn't going to get a mention here, but at least only Warren Foster ever worked on those stories).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-45962375714648082772020-03-18T14:12:46.823-07:002020-03-18T14:12:46.823-07:00Me thinks these aforementioned tidbits of cartoon ...Me thinks these aforementioned tidbits of cartoon entertainment were highly amusing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724447633558837303noreply@blogger.com
