The Hillbilly Bears

by: Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc.

Publication date: 1965

Topics: Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera

Language: English

Inspired by the TV craze of rural sitcoms as The Andy Griffith Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and others, Hanna-Barbera's cartoon equivalent, The Hillbilly Bears, took the stereotype of rural residents of the American South to the extreme. The series featured the Rugg clan, a family of dirt-poor country bears who lived in the mountains and lazed around to the sound of the banjo. Paw Rugg, the muttering head of the family, spent most of his time asleep, awaking only to blast someone off his properly with a shotgun. Maw Rugg smoked a pipe and ran the house, while daughter Floral and son Shagg were constantly wreaking havoc and avoiding responsibility.

The series originally aired as a backing segment during the Atom Ant half of the hour long Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show, and later as reruns on The Banana Splits Adventure Hour.

I used to watch this cartoon in the mid-70s on the SCN channel. This was the public military channel for the soldiers stationed in Panama. I was in Panama City and could get this English channel. I didn't understand English but I enjoyed it a great deal on Saturday mornings.

@thomzanoni - 😃 Much obliged! Please feel to download the series to watch offline even when disconnected from the link. Then open up the 'Movies & TV' app on your computer or double-click on the video to start watching the toons, which will open up the type off app depending the computer you use. It works like charm!
