Back when Underdog was being shown on Nickelodeon, my little first-grade self was obsessed with it. I managed to see every adventure they showed, however there was one multi-part adventure that the two times they broadcast it, events conspired to keep me from seeing the climactic finish!

Basically, Riff-Raff has been plotting to hijack a trainload of gold enroute to Fort Knox, and in order to keep Underdog busy, he's kidnapped Sweet Polly Purebred and sent her aloft in a hot-air balloon. To make it even more difficult, he's sent up dozens of other balloons each containing phonographs playing recordings of Polly crying "Help! Help!" The episode ended with the gold train hurtling toward its doom at the hands of Riff-Raff while Underdog flies back and forth among the drifting balloons trying to find the one with the real Polly!

Does anyone remember the title to this episode and if it was ever put out on DVD?

"The Great Gold Robbery" (Shows #7/8 in the syndicated series)

Don't recall it specifically, but I'll take a wild guess:

Underdog rescues Sweet Polly, stops Riff Raff and saves the day. ;)

Your playful sarcasm reminds me of an exchange I remember from some TV show (I recall the dialogue, but not the show).....

"What are you watching?"

"Gilligan's Island."

"Which one is it?"

"It's the one where Gilligan screws everything up, so they can't get off the island."

"Hmmm....don't think I've seen that one."

;)

Popeye!

I remember seeing this when it aired on METV (memorable entertainment television), channel 23.:D This is a station that shows old shows. I'm not sure what it's called, but i think it was probably the title previously mentioned, "The Great Gold Robbery." sorry i don't help much, but i just remembered seeing this episode. I don't remember what happened at the end :(

I remember seeing the first part when I was 8, and I remember the balloons scene on cartoon network when I was like 6, but up to now didn't know that it was part of the same story!
