Sunday Morning Cartoon: Stop that Pidgon

Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines is a cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for CBS from September 13, 1969 to September 5, 1971. The show focused on the efforts of Dick Dastardly and his hench-pooch Muttley to catch Yankee Doodle Pigeon, an American carrier pigeon who carried secret messages during World War I (hence the name of the show’s theme song Stop That Pigeon). The cartoon was a combination of Red Baron-era Snoopy, Wacky Races (which featured Dastardly and Muttley in a series of car races), and the film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
