Extras interview about the upcoming Huckleberry Hound Show Blu-ray.

https://youtu.be/LKaR4t-eAQw?si=2mcpjdpPKxcBjQRN

I'd sure like to hear an update on Quick Draw, too.

From Amazon (pre-order/order link below)--release date August 26, 2025:

Huckleberry Hound Show: Complete Series (11pc)

Rediscover one of the most beloved good ol’ hound dogs ever in this comprehensive anthology of Hanna-Barbera’s landmark animated series THE HUCKLEBERRY HOUND SHOW. This complete collection presents all 68 half-hour episodes – following studio broadcast records as a guide - as originally aired during the series’ four seasons on television. Meticulously restored from 4K scans of original 35mm negatives, everyone’s favorite blue hound dog never looked better. The cool canine charmed early TV audiences with his unique personality, a slow southern drawl and fast wit that’ll win over audiences of all ages. Viewers also got familiar with Pixie and Dixie (and nemesis Mr. Jinks the cat, who hated meeses to pieces”) and future icons Yogi Bear and sidekick Boo Boo, as well as later shows which introduced the irrepressible Hokey Wolf, all of whom starred in their own segments. To faithfully present these episodes as originally aired, you’ll note each show contains original bumpers and bridges, as well as rarely seen vintage commercials featuring the characters from the series. A timeless tribute to the talents at Hanna-Barbera, including voice artists Daws Butler and Don Messick, this new collection enables you to experience the adventures of Huck, Yogi and their pals just as they first burst on the television scene decades ago, and proving that their animated hi-jinks remain as clever and entertaining as ever.

Just ordered it today (Using the provided link). The gift card I received made it come out to $10.

Based on what George Feltenstein said on The Extras, The Huckleberry Hound Show end titles were only available in black and white, so that's what they used on the blu-ray set.

That's what they should have done with Top Cat.

According to posts on Home Theater Forum, there appears to be a delay on the Huck. Hound set.

No shipping on mine yet.

Not having Blu-Ray, I hope somebody will upload the end credits onto YouTube, where the copyright date is clear! I mean 1958, 1959, and all the others.

Ditto on Top Cat. I still don’t know who wrote which episode and who animated each one. Wikipedia has a good Flintstones rundown, but not TC.

Thanks for pointing out that excellent listing of The Flintstones episodes on Wikipedia, complete with production numbers. Whoever did this must have access to the original black and white credits.

The only error I spotted was episode 154 writing credit, which is correct in a note with the episode, and is correct on-screen. A note with episode 153 correctly states that 154 also uses the "Open Up Your Heart" closing credits.

You can usually find a Sony Blu-ray (with remote and adapter ) for $5 at one of the many local thrift stores. Plug it in to test before you buy, and if the tray opens and the light turns green on the player, it should be good .

*edit* the one I have been using for over a year was a thrift store buy.

I finally got a shipping notice last night, and Amazon delivery is due Tuesday., September. 9.

I think the set was unofficially delayed for some reason. I'd like ti think they wer overwhelmed with pre-orders.

Hopefully that's encouraging news for future animation projects that I am really looking forward to.

This Huckleberry Hound Show release is absolutely perfect. Who could ask for anything more?

It's exactly as George Feltenstein described it. It's what Top Cat could have been, should have been.

It leaves you wanting more. Could Quick Draw look like this? The Biugs Bunny Show? Let's go for broke. The early seasons of The Flintstones?

https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=37088

"Warner Archive has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Tom And Jerry: The Golden Era Anthology (1940-1958). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 2.

Description: For the first time ever, all 114 theatrical shorts from originally created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are brought together in one definitive collection, offering the ultimate way to revisit every chase, gag, and laugh that defined generations."

Which are less available: Tom and Jerry or Quick Draw McGraw?

Don't get me wrong: There are SOME T&Js definitely out of circulation. (There are also SOME Bugs Bunnies out of circulation). But unless Boomerang has some 16mm syndicated QD still on, that's totally out of circulation.

Also: how is Mammy Two Shoes acceptable for release and All This and Rabbit Stew isn't?

No answers to these questions--I just wonder.

I mentioned it before, but it feels like Looney Tunes draws the most criticism and slapped with the heaviest of censorship, just from being the most popular animated series.

Finally received my copy today. It ended up retailing for 67.99, which was a difference of 9.50 from the pre-order price.

One thing I noticed--in the first few episodes there is a Kellogg's ad that mentions Augie Doggie, which did not air for another year (as a segment of The Quick Draw McGraw Show). Not a complaint, just an observation.

^George says this opens doors, and he used his Bugs Bunny voice at some point.

Good news, maybe.

There is already a price of $60 dollars and pre-order page on Amazon for Blu-ray. Waiting to see if the DVD collection will be less expensive.

I thought George said the DVDs would only be in stores, but I could be wrong. Come to think of it, what stores? Who sells them anymore?

After looking it up, Barnes & Noble and Walmart are the last two brick and mortars that still sell physical media.

At some point in 2024 didn't George Feltenstein say 2025 was going to be a big year? By the time the year is over it seems like we wil have had one Looney Tunes release (probably relatively easy to assemble), the Huckleberry Hound release (yes, that was a biggie and must have taken tons of time to assemble) and Tom and Jerry (a good one of would likely be very hard to assemble due to the 1965 MGM film vault fire). Based on a hint i thought George threw out (using a Bugs Bunny voice) I thought they might be assembling a Bugs Bunny full collection, but Jerry Beck says no.

I wouldn't call three releases a big year.

So what are they working on? Do we know of anything for sure besides The Bugs Bunny Show (unknown when it will be released)? What I wonder about is Quick Draw. They are silent. I have a friend who is convinced that is shelved.

In an Extras update on Looney Tunes collectors Blu-Rays, Tim Millard says there will be a longer update soon on Hanna Barbera. He specifically mentioned Touché Turtle and Huckleberry Hound, which are already out--so I'm hoping for news about Quick Draw--which has been absent from any discussion for quite awhile.

Looney Tunes Collector's Vault - Vol. 2 Release Announcement and details --

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uuG-EsDnak

There are some real fan wants on Vol. 2, starting with A-Lad-In His Lamp, which has never been restored. This is the late 40s Bugs cartoon with a genie voiced by Jim Backus.

Other rarities -- Mexican Boarders and Wise Quackers, two rarities not shown on TV, Mouse Menace, Art Davis' first director assignment for Warners--and that is censored when shown on TV. Ain't That Ducky, often censored and was in need of restoration. Another rarity - Hop and Go, a black and white wartime cartoon which is rarely on TV and when it is it's normally censored.

Also, lots of Chuck Jones Road Runners.

When the titles have gone up somewhere, I'll link them.

This will be up for preorder shortly after the beginning of the new year, and they are advising to order early, as they are anticipating inadequate stock.

How about some news on content for Looney Tunes Collector's Choice volume 3? How about some news on the glaring lack of something good from classic Hanna-Barbera? Like Quick Draw?
