Go Go Gophers

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. There the coyote leaders of a local United States Army fort, one Colonel Kit Coyote (voiced by Kenny Delmar impersonating Theodore Roosevelt) whose name is an obvious parody of Kit Carson, and his right-hand man Sergeant Okey Homa (voiced by Sandy Becker impersonating John Wayne) who is rarely called by his name, which is a send-up of the State of Oklahoma. They make attempts to secure the town of Gopher Gulch by wiping out the last two surviving Gopher Indians (depicted as anthropomorphic gophers): Running Board (voiced by George S. Irving) and Ruffled Feather (also voiced by Sandy Becker). However, the Gophers prove to be very clever and always manage to foil the plans of Colonel Coyote and Sergeant Oakey Homa.
Whenever they came up with an idea to stop their adversaries, Ruffled Feather would break into gibberish (ostensibly the Gopher Indian native tongue) as he explained it and Running Board would understand, ask about some detail of the plan, then laugh and say "Woopie doopie! 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 army regulations, and pays the price for it. Most episodes end with the Sergeant telling the audience at home "don't miss our next adventure", often saying that their plight will be solved by then.
Some episodes feature General Nuisance (voiced by George S. Irving) who is the commanding officer of the Colonel and Sergeant. General Nuisance would have the Colonel and Sergeant use the plans provided by Washington D.C. to deal with the Gopher Indians. These plans would often be thwarted by the Gopher Indians which often ends with General Nuisance having the Colonel and the Sergeant thrown in the guard house. Some episodes also featured Corporal Crimp (voiced by Sandy Becker) who would sometimes try to strike a deal with the gophers for his own personal gain, such as buying root beer from the gophers (which the gophers spiked with Indian Hiccup Drops) for water.
Some episodes would be multi-part stories. For example, in the episode "The Raw Recruits", the Colonel enlists Ruffled Feather and Running Board into the army. But despite his best efforts, the gophers turn out to be impossible to train. This story continues through the episodes "Tenshun", "Cuckoo Combat" and wraps up in the episode "Kitchen Capers", in which the Colonel, finally tired of their antics, discharges the gophers from the army.
