Not quite country |
In 1969, ABC and Hanna-Barbera planned to launch an animated Saturday morning cartoon show called Nashville Cats, but at almost the last minute the show was renamed Cattanooga Cats.
The cats were a country-rock band (dressed in hillbilly garb, of course) who had various adventures and tried to avoid the annoying Chessie, the autograph hound. The show also included the Autocat and Motor-mouse cartoons, a sort of race-car version of the familiar cat-chases-mouse routine.
