Go Go Gophers | comment |
Go Go Gophers was an animated western comedy series satirizing racism and created by Total Television. It started as a side segment of Underdog on CBS in 1966 and consisted of 48 episodes, each about 4 and a half minutes long (5 if you count the opening sequence.) This segment was so popular that from 1968 to 1969 it was its own show on CBS, and only consisting of reruns of all 48 episodes.In this series, Colonel Kit Coyote and Sergeant Okey Homa (both being coyotes) try to claim the western town Gopher Gulch for the U.S. calvary, but their attempts are undermined by Chief Running Board and Ruffled Feather. These two gophers are the only tribe members to still live on their native land, as the rest of the tribe was moved to a reservation up north due to the increase of settlers moving to Gopher Gulch.The premise of the episodes often had the same formula. The coyotes would discuss the colonel's latest plan to get rid of the Gopher Indians, never knowing that Ruffled Feather would secretly find out the scheme. Ruffled Feather would rush back to the tepee and report his news to his best friend/housemate Running Board, and would always come up with a plan to thwart the coyotes. Using Ruffled Feather's ideas, the gophers would prevail against their rivals and stay one step ahead. The Colonel would usually lose as a direct consequence of his racist contempt for the Gopher Indians.One recurring gag throughout the show is that Okey Homa would try to warn Kit Coyote with any suspicions the sergeant has when they try to stop the gophers; additionally, Okey Homa would usually advocate just learning to live peacefully with the Gopher Indians, an idea intolerable to the racist Colonel. Thus, Colonel Kit Coyote nearly always ignored Okey's warnings, which is one of the reasons why the coyotes fail to get rid of the Gopher Indians. Another running gag in the show is that during exchanges of dialogue Ruffled Feather would speak in his native language (in a fashion that parodied the cowboy movies of the time) and someone who doesn't understand him (usually the colonel) would ask Running Board, "What did he say?" Running Board would then translate his friend's statements into English.Besides the four main characters, there were two recurring characters who each appeared in a few episodes. The first was Colonel Coyote's human boss, General Nuisance, who sometimes visited the fort to work with the cavalry to stop the Gopher Indians. When the gophers thwarted the cavalry, the general would get angry with the coyotes and lock them in the guardhouse as punishment for their failure. The other recurring character was Corporal Crimp, a coyote who tried to help the colonel stop the gophers, only for them to turn the tables on him, landing Crimp in trouble with Colonel Coyote. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Colonel Coyote is essentially Teddy Roosevelt as a coyote- though with a name based on Kit Carson, and Sergeant Homa's voice was based on John Wayne. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Most episodes ended with Okey Homa inviting viewers to watch the next episode. In the 2 episodes where he doesn't appear, Corporal Crimp did this instead. In "Wild, Wild Flowers", Ruffled Feather winks at the viewers while spying on Colonel Coyote (the colonel was talking with his aunt Flora). | |

Ironic Echo: In "The Carriage Trade", the gophers find themselves riding their car backwards in and out of the fort, and Col. Coyote taunts them with, "Get a horse! Get a horse!" Later, when the coyotes' wagon comes loose from the horse and goes backwards down the mountain, the gophers' car passes ahead (backwards, of course) and Running Board taunts the coyotes with, "Get-um horse! Get-um horse!" | |

Game of Chicken: Col. Coyote's last attempt to defeat the gophers in "Go Go Gamblers" is a game where a keg is set under the bench the coyotes and gophers sit on, and whichever team gets off first loses. The gophers replace the sand keg with an actual powder keg, light it, then jump off the riverboat casino and swim back home, leaving the powder keg to blow up on the coyotes. | |

Continuity Nod: In "Moon Zoom", Sgt. Homa tries to tell Col. Coyote about how savage the Gopher Indians are, only for the colonel to tell him the regulation, "Indians are Indians." Later, in "Introducing General Nuisance", Col. Coyote tries to warn his boss about the gophers and gets reminded of the same regulation. Also in "Moon Zoom", when the gophers lock the coyotes in the tepee rocket, Col. Coyote tells him it's against regulation 4082B: No locking big-wigs in wigwams. He later tells them the same thing in "Tricky Tepee Trap� after the gophers lock the coyotes in their own cage. | |

Catchphrase | |
Go Go Gophers / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: A few main characters have these: Running Board would often say one or two of the following to Ruffled Feather (usually two after the latter explained his plans to thwart the coyotes): "Oopie doopie!", "You-um genius!" and "We have fun!". When asked what Ruffled Feather's unintelligble statements meant, Running Board would say, "Him say..." and then translate his friend's statement into English. He also sometimes asked "You got-um plan?" when asking Ruffled Feather for ideas to thwart the coyotes. Colonel Coyote would often say, "Bully!" to express his delight at something. He would also sometimes yell, "Charge!" before he and Sergeant Homa try to attack the Gopher Indians. He would also often comment on how some things that happened were against the regulations in his rule book, whether by reading one of the regulations or by saying something like "Regulation expressly forbids it!" or, "This is against regulations!" Sergeant Homa would often say, "Begging the colonel's pardon..." before expressing his suspcicions about a situation to Colonel Coyote. | |

The Bet | |
Go Go Gophers / int_b5b4b485 | comment |
The Bet: "The Carriage Trade" has the gophers race in their car against the coyotes in their horse-drawn wagon. The conditions are that if the gophers win, they can trade the car for the wagon, but if the coyotes win, the gophers would have to leave Gopher Gulch. The gophers win the race. In "California, Here We Come", the coyotes race against the gophers to California. The conditions that Col. Coyote proposes are that if the coyotes win, the gophers would have to leave Gopher Gulch for good, but if the gophers win, they can take over the cavalry's fort. The gophers win this race as well. | |

Shout-Out: "Don't Fence Me In" alludes to the song of the same name. Likewise, "California, Here We Come" is a nod to the song, "California, Here I Come". In "The Indian Giver", when the coyotes put hot coals in the river to stop the gophers from sneaking through it, Col. Coyote quips, "There'll be a hot time in the old gulch today!", a reference to the song "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight". | |
