wsutton_49 I remember this show, when it first aired as a Saturday morning show. Never missed it. I was 7 or 8 at the time, have always had the words to the theme in my head, but could have sworn it debuted in 1956, based on where we lived at the time. (My dad was in the AF & I remember shows, music, fads, etc. based on where we lived since we moved every 2 or 3 years.) At any rate, I remember it was about a cat & a dog who were best friends, with the dog looking out for the cat. Episodes were introduced by a live actor/narrator/host. Seems like the host was the same voice heard as the narrator of most HB cartoons after that. Figured out later this was the first TV cartoon series from HB after they left MGM, where they produced/directed the best of all the Tom & Jerry cartoons. They had developed a simpler method to make cartoons quicker & cheaper, almost eliminating the need for large art departments. In that respect this little cartoon series helped bring about the decline and eventual end of large studio cartoon departments at MGM, WB, etc. Soon after this success they followed with the Huckleberry Hound Show on weekday afternoons, followed by Yogi Bear's own show and all their other afternoon and Saturday shows, many of which were almost copies of some of the earlier MGM cartoon series. Of course they also made history with the first prime time cartoon series, The Flintstones, in 1960. While not a copy of an earlier cartoon it was loosely based on 'The Honeymooners'.
wdbasinger I remember watching this series as a young boy of 7 and 8 and I was astounded by the cliffhanger approach of the plots. Captain Greedy was a cartoon version of Peter Lorre. I don't know who Salt Water Daffy was modeled after, but both if these were very original villains.My favorite stores were those when Ruff and Reddy were battling villains in outer space. There were actually two such stories. One in which they somehow get to "a very strange planet" by getting aboard a runaway rocket.The second story is when they are captured by robot aliens and taken to a planet called Munimula ("Aluminum" spelled backwards). To a young boy of 7, this was a very eerie adventure and as I remember, my favorite of the whole series. I think this is the first one to feature the eccentric "Professor Gizmo".It is incredible that here I am at the age of 54 and I still remember with a great deal of fondness these Saturday morning thrillers.Does anyone know where I could purchase this on either VHS or DMD ?Dan Basinger
mark-simon These are the correct ones:Get set, get ready, Here come Ruff and Reddy. They're tough, but steady, Always rough and ready. They sometimes have their little spats, Even fight like dogs and cats, But when they need each other, That's when, they're rough and ready.They were the earliest cartoon I can remember as a kid growing up in Seattle. I didn't learn until two years ago that they were one of the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons, as was Tom And Jerry.I was reading the comment by ransom and realized immediately that he had the lyrics wrong. Can't have that now can we???Mark
raysond The "Ruff & Reddy Show" was not only an example of Hanna-Barbera's earlier works,but it is a classic in the utmost sense of the word. I remember catching the show a couple of years ago on the CBN Network,but also most recently on Cartoon Network's Boomerang channel. I never got to see some of the black and white episodes that Hanna-Barbera produced,but the episodes that I saw were in living color and it featured some of the most compelling episodes ever devised and it was always keeping its viewers on a cliffhanger until the next episode(case in point with the same formula that would be seen during "Rocky and Bullwinkle"(1959) years later.). Dilbolical villians,and evil doers at every turn and out to destroy the world,and to leave our heroes Ruff and Ready to save the day! Worth seeing.THEME SONG: They're Ruff and Reddy Always Ruff and Reddy They're tough and steady Always Ruff and ReddyThey sometimes fight like dogs and cats Even though when to comes to that but when they need each other that's when They're Ruff and Reddy
