The Ruff and Reddy Show
Detail
+
The Ruff & Reddy Show was Hanna-Barbera's first cartoon series, featuring a cat named Ruff and a dog named Reddy in serialized adventures across thirteen episodes. Ruff was voiced by Don Messick, and Reddy was voiced by Daws Butler. Hanna and Barbera launched their studio the same year MGM, where they previously worked, closed its cartoon division. Despite their efforts, they could only secure $2700 per half-hour episode from NBC, leading them to adopt a production-line approach rather than the detailed craftsmanship of Tom and Jerry shorts. Taking inspiration from 1949's "Crusader Rabbit," Bill and Joe aimed to compensate for the lower production values by creating engaging heroes and compelling storylines. Ruff and Reddy navigated various secretive adventures, facing off against villains like Scarey Ha.
