Storyline

Huckleberry Hound is a blue-haired Southern dog with a fondness for the song, "My Darling, Clementine", and is a jack-of-all-trades cartoon star, appearing as a scientist (trying to neutralize a gigantic, thinking potato), a Scotland Yard detective (chasing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Victorian London or investigating reports of a mad scientist's Frankenstein-like weiner monster in early-1900s rural England), a Foreign Legion soldier (foiling a renegade Frenchman-turned-Arab), or a modern policeman (trying to subdue an impish ape named Wee Willie). Episodes of this television series begin and end with a Huckleberry cartoon. Sandwiched between them is a cartoon with two mischievous mice, Pixie and Dixie and a cantankerous cat named Mr. Jinks. Sometimes appearing in their stead in the middle cartoon was a free-spirited Hokey Wolf or the "smarter than the average" Yogi Bear.

The Huckleberry Hound Show

This has got to be the best cartoon ever made. I remember watching it as a kid and laughing my butt off at some of the jokes. Now I own the DVD and I still love the heck out of this show. My niece and nephew are always coming over my apartment to watch the DVD because they love the show to. I highly recommend this TV show. It's not only for children either. Hell I love this show and I am 27 year old man and I still find a lot of the show hilarious. If you still enjoy The Flintstones or Scooby Doo you will love this and If your kids love The Flintstones or Scooby Doo they will probably enjoy this very much. Very Awesome!!!! 10/10
