The Huckleberry Hound Show

Hanna-Barbera's second TV series, the FIRST cartoon EVER to win an Emmy, and this show gave Yogi his own show. Is "The Huckleberry Hound Show". A Hanna-Barbera TV show that gave them a Emmy and entertained kids over America on  syndicatied TV.  The Seires started in 1958. That's Huckleberry Hound for ya!

This is also the first Hanna-Barbera series to have backup segments. Along with 2 other back up segments the first of 2 is "Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks", Tom and Jerry's succesor. Ande last but not least, the star of the movie last year, "Yogi Bear!" Yogi's popularity rised, and in 1961, he was given his own series. Yogi's segment, was replace by a new Hanna-Barbera character, "Hokey Wolf" a mix between Yogi and Top Cat. That same year, Huckleberry Hound was awared with an Emmy. Huck's show ended in 1962, compelteing it's 4 year run. Through Huck, Pixie, Dixie, Mr. Jinks, Yogi, Boo-Boo, Hokey, and Ding-A-Ling appeared in H-B seires throughout the decades. In 2005, Warner Bros. released the show's first season. Inculding Huck, Pixie and Dixie, and Yogi's cartoons form the 26 episode season. I OWN that DVD! I got it from BJ's last year.
