Behind the Scenes: The Making of Where's Huddles? for Our YouTube Channel


Where's Huddles? 
is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran in 1970, with a total of 10 episodes airing on CBS, before CBS pulled the plug on the series due to low ratings. Similar to previous creation, The Flintstones, the show followed the antics of Rhinos football players, Ed Huddles, and his neighbor, Bubba McCoy, as they would come up with schemes to make their lives easier, while also having to play football at the same time. Other characters included Ed's wife Marge, Bubba's wife, Penny, the Huddles' daughter, Pom Pom, their pet dog Fumbles, close friend and teammate, Fright Train, antagonistic
neighbor Claude Pertwee, his pet cat Beverly, and Ed and Bubba's coach, MadDog.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, the entire cast were in a later lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did all modeling work for the characters.

The first Where's Huddles? story we produced for the channel, titled "Home For Barbecue," which was written by me. The plot followed Ed and Bubba racing back home in time for a barbecue party with all their friends. The second story, tited "Where's the Ball, Huddles?," which again, was written by me, involved the Rhinos getting ready for next week's ball game. In the final story, "Muscle-Bound Football Players," which I also wrote, had Ed, Bubba and Fright Train racing to make it to the ball game in time.

We are still in the process of writing more Where's Huddles? stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Where's Huddles? story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
