Ruff (the Cat) and Reddy (the Dog) was the first TV cartoon series marketed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and the newly formed H-B Enterprises (the future Hanna-Barbera) after MGM shut down its animation division. While MGM continued producing through Chuck Jones and Gene Dietch, Hanna and Barbera opened a new facility pioneering the new technique that allowed cel movement to assist action and created a somewhat more economically feasible way to produce cartoon series compared to the full animation of their former employer. MGM's Tom & Jerry had been budgeted at upwards of $40,000 per episode, but H and B were allotted a paltry $2,800 for Ruff and Reddy. Luckily, the show made up for its skimpy animation with voiceovers by Daws Butler and Don Messick, two voice kings who went on to become Hanna-Barbera essentials.

This series was first broadcast in black and white, although all episodes were produced in color.
