Everybody remembers “The Flintstones,” the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series loosely based on “The Honeymooners” that initially ran in ABC prime time starting in the fall of 1960.
But far fewer remember Hanna-Barbera’s immediate, less celebrated follow-up: “Top Cat,” a prime-time animated series about a bunch of alley cats, loosely based on “The Phil Silvers Show.” It debuted on ABC in September 1962, a full year before the better-known “The Jetsons.”
The theme song may jog your memory.
As a matter of fact, check out the whole theme song section of Toon Tracker, a great site that has the title songs for just about every cartoon from the ’30s through the ’90s.

Officer Dibble, here.
Wasn't quite sure of the editorial quality of TelevisionWeek until I read this. Outstanding!
Benny will love you forever.
