The Best of Go Go Gophers: The Underdog show had several filler cartoons between halves of the show. Go Go Gophers was one of these shows and Classic Media saw fit to release 21 episodes of the show on DVD, much in the same format as they did with Tennessee Tuxedo.

The show centers around the exploits of Colonel Kit Coyote and his attempts to use the US Cavalry to ride off two Indians off of Gopher Gulch. Of course, these aren't your average run of the mill cartoon Indians but they are Gopher Indians who have a lot more tricks up their sleeve than they let on.

The show is full of stereotypes so if this offends you, don't watch it and miss a really funny show.

And for the next DVD of the evening ...

Father Takes a Bride: From MP & GI comes a melodrama about a family without a mother.

The story centers around the Wang family which consists of a father, an older daughter Jinghui ,played by the lovely Lucilla You Min, and two young boys. Jinghui plays the role of mother in the family and seems content on doing so. However two big events rock the family boat. First, their father has started to see a woman and secondly Jinghui has fallen for an old classmate of hers (played by the MP & GI regular, Kelly Lai Chen.) Of course, what the family fears is that the new step-mom will be like the step-mom who lives next door who beats her step-child daily.
The ending of course, is just what you'd expect from these types of films, so while it's not as whimsical and light hearted as others from MP & GI, it's definitely an enjoyable way to kill 96 minutes.
