I loved this series as a kid, having been exposed to it thanks to Mill Creek's "Giant 600 Cartoon Collection" DVD set, which featured several episodes. Of course, as a kid I had no idea it was a rehash of Amos 'n' Andy, using the same old scripts but with animal characters to avoid accusations of racism. For whatever reason, it wasn't as popular and was cancelled quickly.
Anyway, rewatching it now, it's still funny and holds up very well. It's one of the early animated TV series made for adults, so the humour is not meant for kids (though it's not inappropriate, it just isn't juvenile). It's no more dated than the Flintstones or any other animated sitcom of the sixties which we still remember fondly. "Calvin and the Colonel" definitely deserves more attention today.
