What happens

The Quick Draw McGraw Show is an American animated cartoon television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, and their third television series overall after The Ruff and Reddy Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show. Voice actor Daws Butler performed the show's title character, Quick Draw McGraw. The show debuted in syndication on September 28, 1959, ending its run on October 20, 1961, and was sponsored by Kellogg's. The series featured three cartoons per episode, with Quick Draw and his sidekick Baba Looey appearing in the first segment, father and son dog duo Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy in the second, and cat and mouse detectives Snooper and Blabber in the third. There were also "bumpers," mini-cartoons between the main cartoons that featured Quick Draw and other main characters on the show. Michael Maltese wrote the stories of all the episodes. Screen Gems, the television division at the time of Columbia Pictures, originally syndicated the series. It ran on Saturday mornings on CBS for three seasons, 1963-66. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
