Hanna and Barbera Animated Characters Questions
Also on that note, a spin-off question:
Prior to their TV career, who or what were Hanna and Barbera's first most recognized animated characters for movies:
Lucy and Desi TV?
Also: What, if any, was the connection with H-B to an early Lucy and Desi TV shows? If there's a connection, what was the name of the show and what was the connection?
Huckleberry Hound
Tom and Jerry
don't know
Did H-B do the animation on the intro and closing for I Love Lucy?
Correct about Tom & Jerry. Great jpeg of them, too. Thanks for the inclusion.
They did tom & Jerry while on contract to MGM. When MGM fell out of the cartoon biz around 1958, H-B went into biz for themselves. the res is history.
The answer was first Rough & Ready...then Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Quickdraw, etc...Flintstones...Jetsons
H-B did the original opening...animated beginnings ... of I Love Lucy. They had stick figures animated cartoons of Lucy and Desi opening the curtanis to the episodes.
You may know that James Arness, who played Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke, played the title monster in the 1950's movie "The Thing". What other Gunsmoke performer also played a well-known movie monster (although in a sequel, not the original)?

Hint: The actor played a supporting role in the mid-to-late run of the show, but died a couple years before Gunsmoke was finally cancelled. He had a decent career in movie Westerns, but played a famous movie monster in two sequels and one horror/comedy, all three in the 1940's.
I'm a thinkin'. And my head hurts.
I'm thinking it has to be the one played Mulie. Course, Burt Reynolds is there in the same time frame.
IMDb says he was in 92 Gunsmoke episodes, plus he made guest appearances on lots of TV shows including Petticoat Junction, The Rifleman, Wagon Train, Sugarfoot, Wyatt Earp, Maverick, Cheyenne, Death Valley Days and Sky King.
He was in over 100 grade B westerns in the 1930's and '40's, usually (but not always) as bad guys.
He played Frankenstein's Monster in House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.
Despite all that, he wasn't really a household name. This may be too tough...
I bet it was the bartender. Don't know his name, though.
Yup, it was the bartender, Sam Noonan, played by Glenn Strange.
Who played Paladin on the radio?
What was Paladin's horse's name?
I knew that was too easy. I have watched every episode of Have Gun Will Travel, I think, but somehow missed his horse's name.
