The Huckleberry Hound Show was probably the series that truly made Hanna-Barbera a household name, thanks to Huckleberry (or "Huck" as he was sometimes nicknamed, referencing the novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) and the two supporting segments of the show: Yogi Bear and his sidekick Boo Boo, and Pixie and Dixie, two mice who in each short found a new way to outwit the cat Mr. Jinks.

Huckleberry Hound, the character

Voiced by Daws Butler, Huckleberry was a blue dog that spoke with a southern drawl, with a relaxed, sweet, and well-intentioned personality. The term "Huckleberry" can be a slang synonym for a rube or an amateur, and that seems to fit Huck's personality. Most of his shorts consisted of Huck trying to find employment in different fields, ranging from policeman to (ironically enough) dogcatcher, with backfiring results, yet usually coming out on top, either through slow persistence or sheer luck. One regular villain in the series was "Powerful Pierre", a tall and muscular unshaven character with a French accent. Another trademark of Huck was his tone deaf (as well as inaccurate) rendition of "Oh My Darling, Clementine," often used as a running gag. Daws Butler in 1976. ...

Various Hanna-Barbera characters were known for frequently turning to the viewing audience to make little comments and asides (following the tradition of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters of the 1940s, which in turn copied Groucho Marx)^{[citation needed]}. Huck took this to somewhat of an extreme, as a significant part of a typical cartoon was his running narrative to the audience about whatever he was trying to accomplish. Warner Bros. ...

The inspiration for Huck's voice

Although the voice Butler gave to Huckleberry Hound resembles that of Andy Griffith (who had recently become famous in movies, though not yet on TV), Butler had already developed and used the voice in earlier work (such as the dog character in The Ruff & Reddy Show, and earlier characters in the MGM cartoon library). It was said to be based on the neighbor of his wife, Myrtis; Butler would speak with said neighbor when visiting North Carolina. Because some of Hanna-Barbera's early shows (The Flintstones, Top Cat) are acknowledged to be take-offs on celebrities and shows of the day, it is possible that the studio was partly capitalizing on Griffith's popularity in making use of the voice, but this was not its origin.
