'''''Dynomutt, Dog Wonder''''' is an American [[animated television series]] created by [[Joe Ruby]] and [[Ken Spears]] and produced by [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions]] that aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] from September 11, 1976, to October 1, 1977.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Perlmutter |first1=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |pages=174–175 }}</ref> The show centers on a [[Batman]]-esque [[superhero]], the Blue Falcon, and his assistant, Dynomutt, a bumbling, yet effective robotic dog who can produce a seemingly infinite number of mechanical devices from his body.<ref name=Woolery>{{cite book |last1=Woolery |first1=George W. |title=Children's Television: The First Thirty-Five Years, 1946-1981 |date=1983 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=0-8108-1557-5 |url=https://archive.org/details/childrenstelevis0000wool/page/88/mode/2up |access-date=14 March 2020 |pages=88–89}}</ref> As with many other animated superheroes of the era, no origins for the characters are ever provided.

''Dynomutt'' was originally broadcast as a half-hour segment of ''[[The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour]]'' (1976–77), and a quarter-hour segment of its later expanded form ''[[Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics]]'' (1977–78); it would later be rerun and syndicated on its own from 1978 on. The cast of ''[[The Scooby-Doo Show]]'' appeared as recurring characters on ''Dynomutt'', assisting the Daring Duo in cracking their crimes. Originally distributed by Hanna-Barbera's then-parent company [[Taft Broadcasting]], [[Warner Bros. Television]] currently holds the distribution rights to the series.

==Overview==
Millionaire socialite [[art dealer]] Radley Crown (voiced by [[Gary Owens]]) and his mechanical pet dog Dynomutt (voiced by [[Frank Welker]], who got the inspiration for the voice from the Gertrude and Heathcliff characters of [[Red Skelton]]) enjoy leisure time in their base of operations in Big City until alerted by the Falcon Flash. They then immediately dash to the Falcon's Lair (situated in Crown's penthouse), where they switch to their secret identities, the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder, respectively.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sennett |first1=Ted |title=The Art of Hanna-Barbera: Fifty Years of Creativity |date=1989 |publisher=Studio |isbn=978-0670829781 |url=https://archive.org/details/artofhannabarber00teds/page/172/mode/2up |access-date=2 June 2020 |page=173}}</ref> The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt receive the report via TV screen from the secret GHQ of secret agent F.O.C.U.S. One (voiced by [[Ron Feinberg]]), jumps into the Falconcar and speeds into the fray against assorted evildoers.

In a coup similar to the 1960s ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' TV series, the first 10 minutes of ''Dynomutt'' ends with a cliffhanger wherein the Daring Duo, in the clutches of their foes, are subjected to a perilous fate which is resolved immediately after the commercial. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contains a [[Laugh track#Making their own|laugh track created by the studio]].

The metallic dog employs a system of miniaturized transistors that allow him to extend his limbs or neck and use them to perform extraordinary feats; however, none of them ever work properly. "B.F." (as Dynomutt lovingly refers to him) is more Dynomutt's victim than his master, forever being hamstrung by the latter's insufferably clumsy mechanized mishaps, which often results in the Blue Falcon calling Dynomutt "Dog Blunder". Nevertheless, Dynomutt and the Blue Falcon, equipped with their arsenal of super gadgetry, manage to get the situation well in hand.

Three episodes had a crossover with ''[[Scooby-Doo]]''.

| ShortSummary = Willie the Weasel has created a formula that turns him into [[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (character)|Mr. Hyde]]. While the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt are on the trail of the mysterious Mr. Hyde, they encounter the Mystery, Inc. gang and [[Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo]] (who are unaware that Mr. Hyde is a supervillain and not one of their typical "spooks"). In ''[[The New Scooby-Doo Movies]]''-fashion, they team up with the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt (who happens to be Scooby's hero) to stop Mr. Hyde, who has threatened to turn the population of the entire city into "Mr. Hydes" unless he is proclaimed mayor. Fred and the others find a clue (which turns out to be Willie the Weasel's glove), and the Blue Falcon deduces that Willie is Mr. Hyde. The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt have Mr. Hyde proclaimed mayor and pretend to turn themselves in so that Mr. Hyde will lead them to his secret lair and trick him into showing them the antidote to the Hyde formula. Willie the Weasel and his canine partner-in-crime "Snitch" manage to escape. The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt head to the Mayor's mansion to stop Hyde from retrieving his stolen loot. The Mystery, Inc. gang set up one of their infamous "Scooby traps" while the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt confront Mr. Hyde and Snitch. Dynomutt captures Snitch while the Blue Falcon and the Mystery, Inc. crew capture Willie the Weasel/Mr. Hyde.

===Appearances===
====Television series====
* Gary Owens and Frank Welker reprise their roles of the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt in guest appearances in the ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' episode "Dyno-Might". The Blue Falcon comes to Dexter when Dynomutt is heavily damaged during their fight with the supervillain, Buzzord (voiced by [[Rob Paulsen]]). Though Dexter obliges, Dynomutt destroys his laboratory, leading to Dexter deactivating Dynomutt and creating Dynomutt X-90 (also voiced by Welker), who becomes a fanatical vigilante using excessive and lethal force to deal with minor crimes such as parking violations, jaywalking, and littering. Dexter tries to help the Blue Falcon stop Dynomutt X-90, but after being cornered, Dexter reveals he built Dynomutt X-90 because he deemed the original a goofy idiot [[sidekick]]. The Blue Falcon states Dynomutt was not just a goofy idiot sidekick, he was a go-go dog person. He then reactivates the original Dynomutt, who arrives and distracts Dynomutt X-90 enough for Dexter to deactivate him.
* Dynomutt's picture made a cameo in an episode of the ''[[2 Stupid Dogs]]'' segment, ''[[Secret Squirrel#Super Secret Secret Squirrel|Super Secret Secret Squirrel]]''.
* Owens reprises his role as the Blue Falcon in the ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' episode "Johnny Makeover" wherein he, [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] and [[Don Knotts]] redesign Johnny's show in a parody of ''[[Queer Eye for the Straight Guy]]''.
* The Blue Falcon appears as a recurring character in the ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'' TV series and once in the [[Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (video game)|video game of the same title]] as a Spanish lawyer named '''Antonio de Rivera Garcia Azul Falcón''' (voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]]). A similarly Spanish-accented Dynomutt also appeared in the two-part episode "Deadomutt", voiced by [[André Sogliuzzo]].
* Blue Falcon and Dynomutt appeared in the ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' episode "Ban on the Fun", voiced by [[Kevin Shinick]] and [[Victor Yerrid]].
* Blue Falcon and Dynomutt appeared in the ''[[Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated]]'' episode "Heart of Evil", with the Blue Falcon being voiced by [[Troy Baker]] while Welker reprised his role of Dynomutt. This series depicts an origin where Radley and his dog Reggie were security guards at Quest Labs. After a robot dragon attacks and injures Reggie's organic body, [[Jonny Quest (TV series)|Dr. Benton Quest]] rebuilds him as a cyborg dog. While Dynomutt retains his personality from the original series, the Blue Falcon is depicted as a gritty and violent vigilante reminiscent of [[Batman]] in [[Frank Miller (comics)|Frank Miller]]'s ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]''.
* Dynomutt and Blue Falcon appear in the ''[[Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?]]'' episode "Scooby-Doo, Dog Wonder!", with Blue Falcon voiced by [[David Kaye (voice actor)|David Kaye]] impersonating Gary Owens while Frank Welker once again reprising his role as Dynomutt. Velma Dinkley is shown to be a fan of Blue Falcon.
* Dynomutt and Blue Falcon appeared in the ''[[Jellystone!]]'' episode "Heroes and Capes", with Blue Falcon voiced by [[Rob Riggle]]. Blue Falcon pretends to be buff due to inflations in his superhero outfit. Dynomutt does not talk.

====Films====
* Blue Falcon and Dynomutt appear in the ''Scooby-Doo'' crossover direct-to-DVD movie, ''[[Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon]]'', with Welker reprising his role of Dynomutt once more. The duo was redesigned to be a film-within-a-film with two different iterations of the Blue Falcon. '''Owen Garrison''' (voiced by [[Jeff Bennett]]) was the star of the original TV series, who became embittered by Hollywood for rebooting his show as a dark and gritty movie with actor '''Brad Adams''' (voiced by [[Diedrich Bader]]) in the lead role as a technology-based Blue Falcon while Dynomutt was reworked into a destructive robot dog. The film's main antagonist, Jack Rabble, used the identity of the Blue Falcon's arch-enemy, Mr. Hyde, to commit a daring heist. However, he was foiled by Garrison and Scooby-Doo.
* The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt appeared in the animated ''Scooby-Doo'' film ''[[Scoob!]]'', with the Blue Falcon voiced by [[Mark Wahlberg]] and Dynomutt voiced by [[Ken Jeong]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2019/04/scooby-doo-movie-scoob-ken-jeong-kiersey-clemons-join-cast-1202593116/|title=Ken Jeong & Kiersey Clemons Toon Up For Warner Bros.'

During the movie's credits, it is revealed that the Blue Falcon founded the Falcon Force alongside [[Atom Ant]], [[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels|Captain Caveman]], [[Jabberjaw]], and [[The Great Grape Ape|Grape Ape]]. In the movie, we learn that Radley, the original Blue Falcon, has retired to [[Palm Beach, Florida]], and his son, '''Brian''', has taken up the mantle of the Blue Falcon. But Brian is struggling in the role. Dynomutt is portrayed in the film as being more mature and far more competent than in the early cartoons as a result of an involuntary upgrade given to him by Brian, resulting in Dynomutt being disdainful and mocking Brian frequently and comparing him poorly to his father. Over time, however, Dynomutt's attitude toward Brian improves, and by the end of the film he's providing Brian with the encouragement that he needs in order to step out of his father's shadow.
* Dynomutt and Blue Falcon's iterations from the ''Scoob!'' film also made cameo appearances in ''[[Space Jam: A New Legacy]]''. They are seen as spectators watching the basketball game between the Tune Squad and the Goon Squad.
