September 7th, 1961- August 31st, 1963 WPIX
The Dick Tracy animated cartoon series was shown in the late afternoon on WPIX-TV Channel 11 with Joe Bolton as the host.
Bolten left his post as the host of the Three Stooges shorts to become the host of the Dick Tracy series, portraying the police chief and Tracy's boss. The police chief would give Tracy an assignment whenever a crime was committed which Tracy would receive on his wristwatch. Tracy would respond by saying "ok chief, I'll get on it right away." He would then assign one of his detectives to the case.
Everett Sloane provided the voice for Dick Tracy, other voice regulars were Mel Blanc, Benny Rubin, and Paul Frees.
