The show is widely known as Catch The Pigeon or Stop the Pigeon, based on the show's original working title and the show's theme song, written by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (and based on the jazz standard 'Tiger Rag') which repeats that phrase so.

I don’t know about you, but I always thought it was called ‘Catch the Pigeon.’ In fact, I can vividly remember the show’s theme song in which the words ‘Catch the Pigeon’ were repeated over and over again.

As a spin-off of the famous Wacky Races, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon had the villainous duo join a squad of flying aces known as the Vulture Squadron. It was their job to stop Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering messages to the other side.

In classic style of that era, the villains (almost) never won. If you asked anyone what the show is called, chances are they’d say Catch the Pigeon — thanks to the catchy theme tune. Sorry guys, we’ve been wrong for the past 50 years.

If you actually rewatch the intro for Catch the Pigeon, the lyrics involve the Vulture Squadron trying to “stop the pigeon”. If you don’t believe us, seriously, check out the video.

If you still don’t believe us, there’s even a Reddit thread dedicated to it. One person says that the Swedish translation says “fånga duvan” (catch), but then edits their post to confirms the song now says “stoppa duvan” (stop). Did it ever say “catch the pigeon”? Who really knows?

It’s a weird state of affairs, especially considering the show is actually called Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines. The whole show was released on DVD in 2005 and included all 17 episodes.

Ironically, there is an episode called “Stop That Pigeon”, which can be found in the first segment of the fifth episodes.

I don’t really know where I watched Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines, but I vaguely remember seeing it on Saturday mornings I think. Now you know the real truth, go out and ask your mates. I guarantee most of your mates will think it was called Catch the Pigeon.
