- 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!

So why do I think I liked it to back in the old days? Much of it simply was because bad writing and low cel counts were the norm for 1969. Now, with the improvement in the quality of cartoons, it's obvious when you watch any of the old shows of 1969 that they simply don't stack up with the recent offerings by Nickelodeon or the old classic Looney Tunes shorts. And, I assume with kids today seeing better quality cartoons, that they, too, would be a bit bored by this Dastardly cartoon.
