A Saturday Morning Cartoon, created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and made by De Patie Freleng Enterprises, that aired on NBC during the 1972-73 season.The Houndcats is a loose, light-hearted take on Mission: Impossible, The Wild Wild West and (especially) the short-lived Bearcats!, in which three canines and two felines traverse the southwestern United States to deal with all manner of high-level national offenders, circa 1914.The Houndcats are Stutz (Michael Bell), The Leader and The Strategist; Ding Dog (Stu Gilliam), the second-in-command; Puttypuss (Joe Besser), the Master of Disguise; Rhubarb (either Arte Johnson or Daws Butler, depending on the episode), the inventor; and Musselmutt (Aldo Ray), the strongman — er, dog. | |

Gentle Giant: Musselmutt,, a huge, muscular Old English sheepdog, is also the quietest, most affable of the otherwise frenetic and explosive crime-fighting team. And able to bend steel with his bare paws. | |

Evil Laugh: In Captain Blight's first episode, it's a Running Gag that he gets stuck in evil laugh mode, and his Sidekick has to bring him out of it by hitting him on the back. | |

Lighter and Softer: Compared to its live-action inspirations. The show was made when the networks were cutting back on televised violence, especially in childrens' programming, so the Houndcats used Zany Schemes to trick the villains into defeat. | |
