The Hillbilly Bears
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hillbilly Bears was an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. It aired as a segment on The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show for two seasons, from 1965 to 1967. During the first half of the 1966-67 television season, The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show was split into two shows, and The Hillbilly Bears aired as part of The Atom Ant Show. The characters in the series were a family of four anthropomorphic bears: Maw and Paw Rugg, their teenage daughter Floral, and their young son Shag.

[edit] Overview
The Hillbilly Bears played on a social stereotype of the "hillbilly", with a gun toting, mumbling father (Paw Rugg) who was always "feudin" with the neighbors. Paw Rugg's voice was a comical mumble, splattered with a few understandable words ...
Paw's voice was performed by Henry Cordon, who later became the voice of Fred Flintstone, and continued handling that role until his death in 2005. Maw and Floral were both voiced by Jean Vander Pyl. Shag was voiced by Don Messick.
