I don't know whether the 70s UK series the Goodies made it to the US but I always remember an episode where they tried to discover why the Dodo became extinct. I think some how or another, they had discovered the single remaining Dodo and during the course of their investigations as to why the species became extinct they blow it up. The closing punchline as they're sitting around eating this huge Dodo drumstick is that they became extinct because they taste so good. :-) Paul.
