Hmm, there seems to be some variation as to the year this cartoon originally aired, but the sources all agree it was the first animated show made for TV. 1949/1950- Crusader Rabbit is the first cartoon show made for TV. A detailed timeline about animation is available at Animation Sensation: http://library.thinkquest.org/11039/history1.html?tqskip1=1 Most animation sources list Hanna-Barbera as the originators of limited animation for television, and Ruff and Reddy as the first made-for-TV cartoon. This is not true. In 1948, Jay Ward (of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame) teamed with animator Alex Anderson and sold NBC-TV a series of cartoons featuring Crusader, a crusading rabbit, and Ragland T. Tiger, his sidekick. From: http://www.toontracker.com/crusader/crusader.htm Includes a lot of information about the cartoon, check it out.
