  • The Beagles were an animated cartoon television series that aired on CBS from September 10,1966 to September 2,1967 and later in reruns on ABC from September 9,1967 to September 2,1968. It was produced by Total Television which created both King Leonardo and Underdog. The voices were provided by Sandy Becker, Allen Swift and Kenny Delmar. The show clearly drew some inspiration from the famous musical group The Beatles, who had an animated program of their own at that time. In fact the run on CBS was scheduled opposite The Beatles' own show. The Beagles has a few other similarities: the group was a duo rather than a quartet and both members were anthropomorphic dogs. Stringer, the tall one (voiced by Becker) played guitar, while Tubby, short, fat and wearing spectacles played stand-up bass (and was voiced by Swift). Their characterizations owed more to Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (especially Swift's whining, New York-accented Tubby) than Lennon and McCartney. They often got into trouble as the result of publicity stunts planned by their manager, a Scottish terrier named Scotty (also voiced by Swift). The show was shown on early morning TV on Channel 9 in Australia in 1970. The original masters of this series are in the possession of TTV artist Joe Harris. The Beagles released one album, Here Come the Beagles, on Columbia Records in 1967.
