1958 – Huckleberry Hound

Huckleberry “Huck” Hound is a dog with a Southern Draw and a relaxed/ sweet personality. Most of the episodes dealt with Huckleberry Hound trying to perform jobs in different fields, ranging from policeman to dogcatcher, with results that backfired, yet usually coming out on top. Huck did not seem to exist in a specific time period as he has also been a Roman gladiator, a medieval knight, and a rocket scientist. He never appeared in futuristic cartoons, only those set in the present or the past. The Show was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (Hanna-Barbera) and included Huck breaking the “Fourth Wall” talking to the audience about the antics that he is about to endure. The cartoon was one of six TV shows to win an Emmy Award in 1960 as an “Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Children’s Programming”; the first animated series to receive such an award.
