- GoofsThe main character has been in prison since 1934, when television technology was in its infancy and only existed in a few science labs. Yet in 1954, he breaks out of prison and immediately understands how a new-model TV set works and is familiar with (and has disguises and musical instruments for) the types of programs shown on TV.

Featured review
Tex Avery cartoon
Spike has been digging for twenty years with a spoon to escape Sing-Sing prison. He finally escapes, but he picks the wrong hiding place. He gets trapped in the TV inside the warden's office.
This is one of the last Tex Avery cartoons at MGM. It's simple fun, but that ground breaking. It takes a familiar character and puts him in a fun location. I would like a different character for the warden. This is fine, but he could be more than fine. I'm imagining Droopy. Now, that would be funnier and more compelling. This is a good solid cartoon although I may be expecting something much more coming from Tex Avery.
