"Black Cat Sheriff" actually only broadcasts 5 episodes, but it has a profound impact. There are still many very young viewers watching it on the Internet. At the beginning, Dai Tielang and a dozen young people in the factory spent more than 10 months to produce 2 episodes of "Black Cat Sheriff". However, during the internal trial broadcast, he was called off and gave his opinions. It was "not in line with scientific concepts, and fighting and killing is not in line with aesthetics."
However, due to the children's love for "Black Cat Sheriff", it was eventually broadcast, but the factory did not promote it. It became popular immediately after the broadcast, and even some peripheral toys were wiped out.
In 1987, at the end of the fifth episode of "Black Cat Sheriff", after the imposing sheriff raised his gun and typed "please see next episode" verbatim, the series came to an abrupt end. Then Dai Tielang retired abruptly. At that time, the young people of the production crew dispersed. The sixth episode of "Black Cat Sheriff" never aired, so he was cut silently. Many years later, Dai Tielang recalled this incident with a smile, and did not want to talk more, but he was impressed by the looseness of the creative environment now, saying: "This is a good era, so good that I often regret it. It would be nice to be younger. "
Now that Dai Tielang has passed away, "Black Cat Sheriff" is permanently fixed in the fifth episode.
