Production notes

The Hillbilly Bears were a clan 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.

Featured in The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show and later repeated in in 1970's The Banana Splits And Friends Show, a syndicated, half-hour repackage of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour."
