Woody's Roundup is a fictional show that was first shown in the film Toy Story 2. It ran from 1950-1959 on the Watch with Woody series on Tuesdays. The show was a western adventure series that utilized puppetry in a way not unlike the real-world shows The Howdy Doody Show and similar in vein to Gerry Anderson's marionette western, Four Feather Falls. The show followed a serialized format, including the use of cliffhangers. The show also had a peanut gallery. The show was canceled after the launch of Sputnik made westerns unpopular with kids. The final episode ended on a cliffhanger at the Grand Canyon that was never resolved; there was supposed to be a finale, dubbed "Woody's Finest Hour", but Stinky Pete thinks the show was canceled before it could conclude, although the "Woody's Finest Hour" episode ended with Woody saving Jessie and Woody playing You've Got a Friend in Me.
