Plot summary:
Quick Draw MacGraw is a strange dichotomy. He's one half
do-gooder sheriff figure and one half vigilante, spending
fifty percent of the show as a dimwitted Old West
gun-wielding horse and fifty percent in Zorro gear
bashing people over the head with a guitar. So, say,
Quick Draw is trying to bring in some desperadoes.
Instead of following proper law enforcement protocol,
MacGraw, as a quadruped without a brain evolved enough to
recognize the difference between the concepts of
"right" and "wrong," would do the
Hanna-Barbera equivalent of saying "fuck it"
and invoke the most illogical and frankly unnerving
fighting style possible: a strange cross between Sanjuro
Kuwabatake and the Honky Tonk Man.
Quick Draw's posse included his girlfriend, Sagebrush Sal
(who continually gets a kick out of being able to throw
her peanut shells on the floor even though it causes
extra work for her already busy foodserver), and Hispanic
donkey sidekick Baba Looie. Sometimes they'd help round
up the bad guys, but your average episode involves
somebody phoning in to a call-in television show and
yelling BABA LOOIE BABA LOOIE BABA LOOIE until they get
disconnected.
The show is one of the most memorable in the HB showography, but the sad fact is that Quick Draw MacGraw was the third Hanna-Barbera cartoon, meaning that between two guys they only had two ideas before "schizophrenic horse cop." (more)
