1	!!The animated series:
2	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Two failed pilots were made by Total Television but were not shown on TV until Underdog went into syndication. One was "Cauliflower Cabbie" (a canine cabbie who became do-gooder The Champion), and "Gene Hattree" (a WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw ripoff in that it starred a singing cowboy horse).
3	** Only one idea for an ''Underdog'' episode was rejected by sponsors General Mills and DFS: in it, Simon Barsinister would invent a product called "Truth Paste" and replace regular toothpaste with it. Customers who bought and used the Truth Paste would become BrutallyHonest and fight with each other so much that Simon would take over the city with ease. It was rejected for the idea of honesty being depicted as bad, as well as for the tampering of store products therein.
