OK, What the Hell Happened to My Circumflexes?

[Anne 85]

Sorry, BRA, but I thought Greg's explanation would do.  Here's a version for the Underdog-impaired.

In one episode, Underdog has trouble saving the day, criminals run rampant, and Sweet Polly Purebread is endangered because, as he repeatedly says:
[Q]"When I stand up I'm right as rain
But when I bend over, there's a stabbing pain."[/Q]

Warning, spoiler ahead.[/B]

As it turns out, someone has dropped a sword down Underdog's back (under his cape and Shoeshine Boy outfit), and it only stabs him when he bends over.  In the end, the sword is discovered and the day is saved by little old Underdog.

That's all I remember, but I could do a little research if you're still dissatisfied.

Shouldn't TV Land, or Nick at Nite, or Cartoon Network be showing Underdog at this point?

That's exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks, Anne.

Underdog is on Boomerang, the Cartoon Network affiliate that shows classic cartoons.  It can be found on Directv on channel 297. It is on at 10:30 PM Central time for all you Underdog fans.

Dang, that's one of the handful of channels (along with VH1 Classic) that's not in my almost-but-not-quite-completely-expanded package.

I can't resist to nitpick, because Anne is almost never wrong.

In the episode in question, Underdog rescues a cache of stolen swords.  He carries them back to their owner in his cape but forgets one (Underdog, for all his charms, was always one milk bone short of a meal).  Hence, his bending over pains.

Of course, this is nothin' compared to Sweet Polly's unbelievable idiocy during the "balloons" epsiode.  Hopefully, those two will never have puppies.
