The Quick Draw McGraw Show followed The Ruff & Reddy Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show in there developing stable of cartoon shows featuring a variety of characters while retaining the 7 minute cartoon segment of the time.
One has to keep in mind that this was an ear when westerns were still popular entertainment; so having a featuring a horse as the well-intended sheriff was apropos.

I watched Quick Draw when I was a kid and sometimes I’d ask my mother to buy me a box of Sugar Smacks because he was on the cover. Yet, I wasn’t wild about the taste of the cereal. Typical kid.
