The Ruff and Reddy Show Complete 2-Disc Box Set DVD
The Ruff and Reddy Show aired on NBC and in syndication across the late 1950s and into the early 1960s, the very first Hanna-Barbera production for television and a foundational entry in the studio's long Saturday-morning history. The premise paired Ruff, a quick-witted cat, with Reddy, a slower but loyal dog, as the unlikely heroes of an ongoing serialized adventure that took them from outer-space pirate threats to jungle expeditions, undersea quests, and Western-flavored chases.
What stands out is the show's serialized cliffhanger structure. Where the studio's later cartoons would settle into self-contained half-hour stories, this earlier work used the multi-part adventure format that was more typical of the broader 1950s adventure-comic tradition, with each short episode ending on a cliffhanger that pushed viewers toward the next week's installment. The animation kept the limited-cycle economy that defined early Hanna-Barbera, the music carried adventure-fanfare cues, and the host-segment framing introduced and ended each broadcast with a cheerful narrator-and-puppet bit.
In the broader era of late-1950s and early-1960s NBC and syndicated programming, this kind of serialized adventure cartoon was a particular fixture of the Saturday-morning lineup, alongside Westerns, space adventures, and the broader Saturday-morning-programming tradition that the show helped define. It suited household morning viewing for the earliest generation of Saturday-morning kids, NBC's expanding cartoon block, and the entry-level Hanna-Barbera audience that would later carry the studio through decades of follow-up work. It is a particular foundation document for what came after.
Favorite chapters include the franchise-launching "Planet Pirates," the alien-adventure "The Whama Bama Gamma Gun," the recurring-villain "The Mastermind Of Muni Mula," the deep-sea "Last Trip Of A Ghost Ship," the safari-comedy "Scary Harry Safari," the treasure-hunt "The Treasure Of Doubloon Lagoon," the Western-flavored "Westward Ho Ho Ho," and the magical-creature "Long Gone Leprechaun." This 2-disc set gathers 72 episodes from the run, a tidy archive of foundational early Hanna-Barbera Saturday-morning animation that disc ownership keeps available.
