YMMV / The Huckleberry Hound Show

• Common Knowledge: No, Huck's voice is not based on Andy Griffith. While both have rural North Carolina accents, Daws Butler actually based Huck's voice on a neighbor he used to know in Albemarle. This misconception stems from the fact that Hanna-Barbera tended to base their characters' voices on celebrities.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Huck himself was the real launcher for Hanna-Barbera, but he was rarely ever a leader in group shows. Still, Huck could easily be considered one of the faves in larger group crossover shows.
  • While Huck's cartoons were mostly about him, some of his minor characters might be this to some of the fans. Wee Willie even got referenced in a later show over it.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In The '60s, Huckleberry Hound (known in Hungarian as Foxi Maxi) became popular in Hungary. The scriptwriter József Romhányi wrote dialogue with puns and humor, and the most popular actors of the day supplied the voices.
• Iron Woobie: Huck spends the majority of his appearances playing Extreme Doormat and taking slapstick abuse from the universe around him, however his mellow, easy-going nature rarely fades, even when he's indented into a nearby wall.
• Moment of Awesome: The show was the first animated program to win an Emmy (Outstanding Children's Animated Program). It was the first of five which the Hanna-Barbera studio would win.
• Periphery Demographic: One of the first examples in western animation. Huckleberry Hound was a huge hit with viewers of all ages, and a large chunk of its' 16 million viewers were college students, who adored the witty dialogue. Compare that with the college audience of Invader Zim, 42 years later.
• Signature Song: Of a sort, but chances are that anyone who's seen this show will come to associate the song "Oh My Darling, Clementine" with it.
