Gophers! [SEP] original network
Gophers!
Gophers! was a Channel 4 children's programme about a family of American gophers who move into a new neighbourhood, called Sycamore Heights, living next door to a family of uptight but well-intentioned rabbits, The Burrows.
There were many recurring jokes within this short-lived show such as Arthur Burrows' vegetables planning a rebellion to escape his garden, a mad scientist ferret called Dr Wince, whose ambition was to conquer the world by obtaining a crystal buried in the Gophers' garden with the help
six of which no longer exist. "Samson & Goliath" cartoons were paired with other General Mills-sponsored shows such as "Tennessee Tuxedo" and "Go Go Gophers" to form a full half-hour for their original network broadcasts. "Young Samson" was later shown in syndication with "The Space Kidettes" as "The Space Kidettes and Young Samson," distributed by The Program Exchange. The rights were acquired by Warner Bros. Television Distribution when it became rights owner of the Hanna-Barbera catalog.
