The Baby Huey Show

The Baby Huey Show is an American animated comedy television series which aired in syndication. The show featured the character Baby Huey. 26 episodes were produced by combining Paramount's Famous Studios theatrical cartoons and made-for-TV shorts. Huey was voiced by Sid Raymond. The first season was produced by Carbunkle Cartoons Inc., a company who did animation on selected episodes of The Ren & Stimpy Show for seasons one and two. each episode usually consisted of a new 8 minute short followed by two classic Harveytoons (the first featuring Herman and Katnip and the second featuring Baby Huey) and a clip from another classic Harveytoon.

The second season was produced by Film Roman in addition to a new Baby Huey short each episode contained an uncredited "Richie Rich Gems" vignette, featuring Richie Rich with guest appearances by Reggie, Tiny, Pee-Wee, Freckles, Cadbury, Professor Keenbean, Gloria and Dollar. One made-for-TV Baby Huey cartoon from the first season was also rebroadcast during each second-season episode. Finally, each episode also contained a theatrical Baby Huey or Herman and Katnip cartoon from Famous Studios. After the "hiatus" of Carbunkle Cartoons, the second season was produced by Film Roman and thus had different writers and directors (PAT VENTURA chief amongst them). Joe Alaskey was cast in the title role, instead of original star Sid Raymond from the first season who had originated the voice in 1949.
