The Dick Tracy Show

Yesterday, I got "The Dick Tracy Show: The Complete Series" from Ollies Bargain' Outlet. Dick Tracy is a detective and comic strip character by Chester Gould. His series is produced by UPA  (United Productions of America), one of the best animation studios of the 40's. In my opinion, the show is hilarious! The series ran from 1961-1962, and had 130 episodes. Each episode is 5 minutes.In the series, Dick Tracy has partners: Joe Jitsu (who sounds a lot like Judo Jack from Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks), GoGo Gomez, Hemlock Homes and the Retouchables , and Heap O'Callory. The sereis also had a crossover with another popular UPA show: Mr. Magoo! Mel Blanc (Original voice of Bugs Bunny, Barney Rubble, and more) and Paul Frees (The Thing in Fantastic Four (1967), and more) voiced characters on this show. Grant Simmons and Ray Patterson of Grantray-Lawrence Animation worked as directors on this show. Here's the cover:
