After the beloved series was canceled in 1966, Weatherwax went on to voice the same Pugsley character in the 1970s series and and even played Pugsley Sr. in a TV movie.

Although he eventually transitioned to work behind the camera as a grip and set builder, he still made appearances at fan conventions.
