Talk:Hokey Wolf (segments)

Technically, this isn't its own TV series, the same way Arabian Knights isn't a TV series in its own right, but the fact that they can air independently kinda makes it work. -- MisterJames (talk) 20:18, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Exactly, the segment isn't in it's own television series. But, even if it's not, it would still make sense to cover the segment under it's own page. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 20:23, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

28 episodes
There were 28 episodes of this segment. A mysterious often listed episode titled "Boobs in the Woods" is just the working title of the episode "Bean Pod'ners". -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 20:32, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * According to Yowp, Hokey and Ding's model sheets were drawn by Dick Bickenbach. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 19:26, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That would be a fine addition to the development sections. -- MisterJames (talk) 21:53, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Is it Hokey or is it Wacko?
According to Yowp, originally Hokey was supposed to be named "Wacko Wolf" but a similar looking character from Bozo: The World's Most Famous Clown was already using that name and that's why it was changed. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 17:53, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

DVD
I hope WB decides to release the complete series onto DVD. I think their planning to because two of Hokey's episodes were on the DVD, "Best of Warner Bros. 25 Cartoon Collection: Hanna-Barbera" and some of Loopy De Loop's shorts were on there only later for WB to release the entire series of Loopy on DVD so I don't see a reason why this one can't have it's own. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 19:45, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem with Hokey is that he belongs with Huckleberry, while Loopy De Loop is unto itself. I can't imagine much interest in doing Hokey separately. On the other hand, they did separate Wally Gator, but then where does that leave the Lippy the Lion and Touché Turtle? -- MisterJames (talk) 20:44, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think since they released the entire Peter Potamus show episodes with it's segments on DVD, they might release the same format with Huckleberry's show. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 22:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, man, I just found out they released Lippy the Lion on DVD, so anything's possible. -- MisterJames (talk) 09:41, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Year Dates
I was surprised to find that Yowp's blog claimed "Bean Pod'ners" (which was the last episode of the series) aired in 1961 and not 1962, meaning that these episodes most likely aired in incorrect production order. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 09:54, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Underscore music
Here's some of the underscore used in some of Hokey's cartoons: https://yowpyowp.blogspot.com/2015/05/everybody-knows-music.html?m=1 I believe that they reused the music from The Flintstones and I've also heard some of the music in Snagglepuss and Yakky Doodle's cartoons. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 19:01, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Hoyt Curtin
It sucks to know Hoyt Curtin, known for his music on such HB shows died on December 3, 2000 at the age of 78. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 01:40, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't have figured WB would've officially announced it. -- MisterJames (talk) 01:49, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Touché Turtle, why he wasn't released on DVD and why we probably won't see him.
I know this doesn't exactly relate to Hokey but, due to outdated and dark turns some HB shows had, we probably won't see them on DVD anytime soon. Touché Turtle will most likely be one of them not to be released on DVD. According to this blog, Touché had some pretty dark stuff in it which is most likely the reason WB didn't release Touché, but released Wally and Lippy on DVD. So unless WB decides to remaster Touché's cartoons, we will most likely not see them on DVD. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:42, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Mr. and Mrs. J. Evil Scientist
Originally instead of Hokey, Mr. and Mrs. J. Evil Scientist were going to be Yogi's replacement segment on Huck's show, which is interesting but doesn't really fit with what it's replacing at the same time. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:01, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia
According to Wikipedia, Hokey's main intro used an instrumental version of "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here". -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 22:03, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Name
Interestingly, Ding-a-Ling appears to have always had the name "Ding-a-Ling", because even in the earliest model sheet of his, he still has that name while Hokey was called "Wacko Wolf". -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 21:01, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
