Inspired by the TV
craze of rural sitcoms such as The Andy Griffith Show, The
Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and others, Hanna-Barbera's
cartoon equivalent, The Hillbilly Bears, took the stereotype
of rural residents of the American South to the extreme. The
series featured the Rugg clan, a family of dirt-poor country
bears who lived in the mountains and lazed around to the sound
of the banjo. Paw Rugg, the muttering head of the family,
spent most of his time asleep, awaking only to blast someone
off his property with a shotgun. Maw Rugg smoked a pipe and
ran the house, while daughter Floral and son Shagg were
constantly wreaking havoc and avoiding responsibility.
The series originally aired as a backing segment during the
Atom Ant half of the hour-long Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show,
and later as reruns on The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. |
