Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh, families and animation lovers. If you loved King of the Hill or Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 7 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-G, but slapstick violence.
Made in 1958: an older pace and style.

The Huckleberry Hound Show is a 1958 syndicated animated series and the second from Hanna-Barbera following The Ruff & Reddy Show, sponsored by Kellogg's. Three segments were included in the program: one featuring Huckleberry Hound; another starring Yogi Bear and his sidekick Boo Boo; and a third with Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks, two mice who in each short found a new way to outwit the cat Mr. Jinks.
