The Huckleberry Hound Show was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions between October 2, 1958, and October 13, 1961. The cartoon series stars two mice, the bow-tied Pixie and Dixie and the vested Dixie. Jinks the cat is always outfoxed by the mice, causing him to utter his catchphrase "I hate meeces to pieces!" The show's plot itself and its characters followed the same basic concept as Tom and Jerry.
