The Quick Draw McGraw Show is the third cartoon television production created by Hanna-Barbera, starring an anthropomorphic cartoon horse named Quick Draw McGraw following their success with The Ruff & Reddy Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show. The show debuted in syndication in the fall of 1959, sponsored by Kellogg's. Voice actor Daws Butler performed the lead character, Quick Draw. The series featured 3 cartoons per episode, one each by Quick Draw McGraw & Baba Looey, father and son dog duo Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy and cat and mouse detectives Snooper & Blabber.

Michael Maltese crafted most of the episode stories. Screen Gems originally syndicated the series, followed later by Rhodes Productions, Taft H-B Program Sales, Worldvision Enterprises, then Turner Broadcasting, and now Warner Bros. Television (through their 1996 purchase of Turner). Currently, the show is aired on the Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang, the Canadian station Teletoon Retro and occasionally on the Infinity channel, broadcasting in the Middle East.

Segments[edit]

Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey[edit]

Quick Draw (voiced by Daws Butler) was usually depicted as a sheriff in these short films set in the American Old West. Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro called Baba Looey (voiced by Daws Butler and his name being a word play on Desi Arnaz's hit song called "Babalu"). Although technically the side-kick, or deputy, to the main character of Sheriff Quick Draw, he is often portrayed as the more thoughtful half of the duo; at times realizing some detail about a given situation and trying desperately without success to caution QuickDraw of a trap or other danger.

Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy[edit]

A young Dachshund named Augie Doggie (voiced by Daws Butler) and his father Doggie Daddy (voiced by Doug Young impersonating Jimmy Durante) has different misadventures in their life.

Snooper and Blabber[edit]

A detective cat named Super Snooper (voiced by Daws Butler impersonating Ed Gardner) and his sidekick Blabber Mouse (voiced by Daws Butler)

DVD release[edit]

A DVD release of the series for the H-B classics collection was originally announced by Warner Bros. for 2006 but was later cancelled due to the poor condition of the masters and the music right issues. In 2006, a Warner spokesperson said of the DVDs, "They were pulled because significant remastering work needed to be researched." Four episodes are available on dvd. Two on Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960's Vol. One and Two on Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960's Vol.2. [2]
