Ruff and Reddy

Ruff and Reddy is a Hanna-Barbera animated series starring Ruff, a smart cat voiced by Don Messick, and Reddy, a brave, but stupid dog voiced by Daws Butler. First broadcast in December 1957 on NBC, it was the first television show produced by Hanna-Barbera and presented by Screen Gems, the television arm of Columbia Pictures (now Sony Pictures Television).
Ruff and Reddy was not seen again on TV until the 1980s on the USA cable network's "Cartoon Express". However contemporary audiences didn't embrace the characters and the network dropped the cartoons after a brief run. Ruff and Reddy made one final appearance on Cartoon Network in the early 1990s but again audiences were unimpressed and they left the air after a few weeks. Boomerang also aired the show sometime in 2002.
==Plot==
Ruff and Reddy features a smart cat Ruff and a not too bright canine Reddy foiling evil villains like Killer & Diller, Harry Safari and Captain Greedy and his stupid stooge Salt Water Daffy to save humanity from total destruction. More often than not, Ruff and Reddy were aided by the daffy little inventor and scientist Professor Gizmo and his crazy devices.

The first episode of the show, "Planet Pirates", was listed on the press release for the The Best of Warner Bros.: Hanna-Barbera 25 Cartoon Collection DVD set to be released on May 21, 2013. However due to an inaccuracy on that press announcement the episode is among several that weren't on the actual DVD set.
