Hanna-Barbera's House of Toons

Hanna-Barbera's House of Toons is an American animated television series, produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Paramount Television Animation, that originally aired from 2001 to 2003. On September 2, 2002, an all night marathon of this show titled "Night of 1000 Toons" aired on TBS. Hanna-Barbera's House of Toons is one of the first Hanna-Barbera shows produced at Warner Bros. (in collaboration with Paramount), and featured many new made-for-TV shorts created specifically for the series.

Premise
The basic premise is that Huckleberry Hound and his friends run a dinner theater club called the "House of Toons" in downtown California, which shows Hanna-Barbera cartoons as part of its floor shows. Located at a corner of an intersection on California's Main Street, the club is considered a very popular destination by the local populace. Some episodes have specific themes, with cartoons to fit that episode's theme. The theme is usually not beneficial to at least one character, usually Brainy Smurf.

Many characters from Hanna-Barbera shows and theatrical shorts (such as Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs, and many more) have appeared on House of Toons, mostly as patrons and guest star performers. The show is notable for including many relatively obscure and otherwise rarely used Disney characters, often with speaking parts for the very first time. Notably, a few characters who had appeared very often in Hanna-Barbera comic books but never before in an animated cartoon, finally made their animated debuts on House of Toons. The show also featured some cameos by characters created for other television cartoons and theme park attractions, but these appearances were few and far between.

Each episode explores the comical mishaps of Huckleberry Hound and his associates running the club, which are used as wraparounds for Disney cartoons (some of which are classic theatrical cartoons from MGM, but most of which are new made-for-TV shorts).
