67. Ruff and Reddy

Saturday

The Ruff and Reddy Show is an American animated television series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Premiering in December 1957 on NBC, it is historically significant as the very first network cartoon made specifically for Saturday morning television and the first production from the newly formed Hanna-Barbera studio.

Was once my reason for getting up on Saturday AM except perhaps for Sky King.

Saturday AM just isn't what it used to be.
