As a kid I absolutely loved this show. I wore a homemade El Kabong Halloween costume every year until it no longer fit and I've been lmao at "I'll do the thinin around here Baba Looey" for 64 years. Saturday mornings used to be cartoon heaven, now it's nothing but college football pregame shows.
I'm a 90's kid, but I always liked the Hanna-Barbera stuff. My grandfather used to buy me VHS tapes of these cartoons (including Quick Draw) and I would watch them on CN back in the early days. When CN stopped playing them and moved them to Boomerang I had no way to see them until I got to college, because our cable company didn't carry Boomerang. Once I was able to watch it in my college dorm room, it felt like reuniting with old friends once I got to see these shows again. You can say what you want about how cheap the animation looks, but these cartoons still had heart put into them and it shows. A lot of the stuff they churn out today for kids feels like empty, mindless drivel compared to these older cartoons. I'm not saying all modern cartoons are bad, but the really good ones are few and far between. I really want to show Quick Draw and the other Hanna-Barbera stuff to my own kids one day. I hope they'll learn to appreciate it. -Dragoness.
Aw man, thanks so much for sharing this, for just a little bit, I felt like a kid, sitting there on the floor, cross legged, destroying my eyes watching cartoons on TV in a dark room. I may only be in my mid thirties, but these were my cartoons too! I grew up with these and it was absolutely disheartening to watch them slowly vanish off TV. Nobody did it like Hanna-Barbera did! I need to share these cartoons with my niece and nephew.
I'm assuming you watched them on Boomerang then? I watched them all through the late 70s on broadcast television and loved all the Hanna-Barbera stuff. Although their output in the late 70s was not as good as their 50s and 60s stuff. They did start to turn it back around in the 80s and the 90s was a nice surprise with new shows like Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab and PowerPuff girls renewing the spirit of HB alive. Sadly, I work mostly with 25-35 year olds who don't know much of any of the pop culture I grew up with and Saturday mornings didn't mean anything to them since they all had cable and 24 hour programming.
Although Baba Louie is named after a Desi Arnaz song (Babalu) the character is actually modeled after Pedro Gonzales Gonzales. He was on a couple of episodes of Wanted Dead or Alive with Steve McQueen, and in one of them Steve's looking for a sheep named Baa Baa. Watch it and you'll believe it.
My dad was in the Air Force, and once he took our whole family to the NCO Club for dinner. The sliding curtain between the dining area and the bar was open, and we could see all these NCOs in the bar, hovering over the TV set, watching Quick Draw McGraw and laughing themselves silly.
Kathleen Bergeron a funny fact in Latin America Quick Draw McGraw was called Tiro loco and baba looey was called pepe trueno also who dubbed McGraw speak espanenglish but that was removed at 2 season
I have fond memories of watching these as a kid in the 1980's To showcase the reach of these cartoons and how popular they were......House Of Pain referenced these in "Shamrocks & Shenanigans" when Everlast famously rapped "I'm quick on the draw like that horse named McGraw from the cartoon....boom sha-lock-lock boom!"
I remember "The Ranger Station" showing Quick Draw McGraw cartoons (as well as other Hanna-Barbera cartoons) on channel 3 in Hartford (when the station's call letters were WTIC-TV). Great doc.
Best dam cartoon there ever was back in 60's and 70's. I got to see El Kabong fly thru the air and hit some bad guy in his head with his guitar made Saturday morning worth while. I don't know what this shit is they have nowadays. The list of terrible cartoons is too long to list.
This is the entire documentary. If you want the source it's on the Warner archives Saturday Morning DVD collection from a few years back. You can get it at Amazon for about $10-$12 or I saw them at $5 Below last year for, you guessed it, $5.

Quick Draws favorite song …. I haven’t slept in 20 days ,
I must look an awful fright
But it doesn’t bother me at all
Cuz I always sleep at night !
Most people don't know Quick Draw Mcgraw and El Kabong were the same people.
WHAT!?
Why did nobody tell me!? =(
Really? I thought everyone knew about that
🤔🤔🤔 Hmmmmmmm.

I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Kids back then were so spoiled and we didn't even realize it!
Big smile on my face watching this!
laughing out loud with every kabong
El-Kabong The Legend…
Quick Draw is one of my favorite entertainers.
Give these guys a dooooog biscuit, Baba Boy!
My late fathers favorite cartoon character, in his honor, named my mute. "KA BLUEY".
I ❤️ HB cartoons!
These are the cartoons that I watched as a child; now I have introduced these cartoons to my Brother's grandchildren!!!
And for that you deserve a thumbs up and at the very least an ice cream cone !
hi ol' kabong. you and mr. ed are my favorite horses.

I'LL do the THININ' around here....

Before "Foolie Coolie" (?), Quickdraw/El Kabong was the first character to use a guitar as a weapon & instrument. ;) *thumbs-up*

The Dynamite Fright (1961)
At 2:57, Quick Draw McGraw stupidly eats a dynamite like it's a hot dog 🌭 then kabooms it 💣💥
Hilarious! They don't do cartoons like this, we grew up with, anymore.
I remember "The Ranger Station" showing Quick Draw McGraw cartoons (as well as other Hanna-Barbera cartoons) on channel 3 in Hartford (when the station's call letters were WTIC-TV). Great doc.
While talking about, "El Ka-Bong," one of the guys says, "It was so obviously Quick Draw McGraw, didn't fool anybody." ROTFL
Nothin Better than Quick Draw McGraw / El Kabong fans .
Great Stuff....They don't make them like this anymore....Queek-Straw
KABONG! TWAING!!
Quick Draw :'( my child hood hero! he gave me the idea to smack bullies with a soda bottle hahahaha

Thank You!
oml Quickdraw McGraw was my freaking showww when I was a kid
We need the chance to authorize the original titles of this shorts for screening on UA-cam. Music by JOHN SEELY.
Quickdraw is Napoleon Dynamite and Baba Looey is Pedro Sanchez.
The legends
Zorro, not the Lone Ranger. Trust me.
I'll do all the thinking around here and don't you forget it!
"Quicks Draw!"
This is helpful
S'awright, I could never a understand a stagecoacn pulled AND driven by horses.
They do it in My Little Pony, too.
1:32 Earl Kress should voice Quick Draw McGraw.
I love HB
BABA BOY
"Oooh; that smarts!"
Zorro was a real guy actually.
Ole!
