The Barkleys Complete 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Barkleys Complete brings home a focused selection of the celebrated early-1970s Hanna-Barbera animated comedy, following the Barkley family of anthropomorphic dogs whose suburban life satirizes the era's social and political dynamics with the kind of family-comedy register that defined the studio's particular brand of socially conscious cartoons. The texture is unmistakable, with confident hand-drawn animation, the studio's signature comic timing, and a tone that takes its family-life premise at exactly the right satirical-comic temperature throughout.
