* CommonKnowledge: No, ''Underdog'' wasn't a Jay Ward production, though it's understandable that some make that assumption, given the similar design aesthetic as ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle''. Not helping the fact is that both Jay Ward and Total Television used Gamma Production to animate their shows, contributing to the similar styles. Both shows had involvement from UsefulNotes/GeneralMills and were syndicated together for years (often the syndicated packages would mix the Ward and Total cartoons up in various orders, further adding to the confusion).

* ValuesDissonance: Underdog's powers come from a "Super Energy Pill". It's unlikely a show would depict a character obtaining superpowers in such a manner these days; modern syndicated repeats typically [[{{Bowdlerize}} cut the scenes entirely]]. The origin of said powers also changes to mad science experiments in the film adaptation.
