TV Pets

TV Pets

Pets are such an integral part of our lives, but with the exception of cartoons, TV has had a difficult time including them.

Very few TV series have included dogs as regular characters. Some of the TV programs that provided somewhat regular roles to dogs are/were; Frasier (Eddie), Lassie, My Three Sons (Tramp), Married with Children (Buck, then Lucky in later episodes), Rin Tin Tin, and The Beverly Hillbillies (Duke). Can you name any others?

A long time ago there were roles for horses. There was Hi Ho Silver, Mr. Ed and Fury.

I could not think of a single cat with an ongoing role.

A couple odd pets include Flipper, the dolphin and Gentle Ben the bear.

But when it comes to cartoons, there is a much better representation of our 4-legged friends. Most of the ones I knew about come from years gone by. How many do you remember?
 
Garfield is the only cat I have heard of


Here are some of the better known TV dogs

Huckleberry Hound
Pluto - one of the old-time favorites
Scooby Doo - "Roh Roh"
Underdog - a Super hero
Astro of the Jetsons
Brian on Family Guy- perhaps the most normal character on the program
Santa’s Little Helper of Simpsons - intellectually on par with Homer
Lady Bird of King of the Hill - She does what dogs do: take naps
 
Who knows some modern day pets in cartoons, and what are the traits of those pets?
