Production notes
This show was a satire of the old-time western melodramas, featured the title character as an inept Canadian Mountie who served under the kind and patient Inspector Fenwick. Do-Right spent most of his time rescuing Fenwick's daughter, Nell, from the evil clutches of the classic villain Snidely Whiplash. A bizarre love triangle between Nell, Do-Right, and his horse (named Horse) also provided for laughs.
Dudley Do-Right spun off into his own series on ABC for a year in 1969, but the show was primarily repeats of these original episodes.
