Plot summary:  Much like a baseball fan who has absolutely no idea which players are being sent to which teams, Huckleberry Hound is a "jack of all trades." On his show, Huckleberry (despite being a dog) becomes gainfully employed in a variety of positions that would take human beings years to obtain, such as fireman or scientist. When this goes awry Huckleberry becomes the solution to and cause of all of life's problems. He means well so things usually work out best for everyone in the end, despite the longing sadness he feels having erased Clementine from his memories.

When you want a great, classic cartoon to watch with your family, you should remember Huckleberry. And when we are faced with a gunfight that we may not make it out of alive, remember that I am your Huckleberry. (more)

User Comments:  It took me like twenty-six years to figure out that Hanna-Barbera characters wore neck jewelry so the animators could segregate the head and body movements and save money on animation accordingly. This whole time I was thinking it had something to do with old timey mannerisms that I just didn't get, like in old movies where everyone is wearing a hat. And why 99% of Old Hollywood only moved or used one part of their body at a time. I swear to God I still think Clara Bow was animatronic.

The most endearing thing we remember about Huckleberry Hound (besides the fact that he's a blue dog or that one time on The Simpsons when he said he was "so gay") is his voice. Huck (and not so much Tom) was based on Andy Griffith, who in 1958 had become a movie star but not yet a TV star. So when you hear Hound he's less "Opie you have done something irresponsible" and more "AH'M RYE CHEER IN THE BUSHES." Can you imagine a world before Andy Griffith? It must've been like living in a world before skin. Like, Pangea and shit.

And despite Angelina Jolie's complaints, Roger Ebert also Pangea.
