"The creators of the beloved cartoon Underdog for the first time tell all about the show. They reveal the way a show got on the air back in the 1960's, the power advertisers had deciding what got on, the competition they had with Jay Ward and Hanna Barbera, the influence of an I Love Lucy

episode are just a few of the things they reveal."
