The Barkleys is an American animated television series produced by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises,[1] which aired on NBC from September 9 to December 2, 1972.
Premise
Taking inspiration from the CBS sitcom All in the Family,[2] the cartoon features an anthropomorphic family of dogs consisting of Arnie, a bus driver (voiced by Henry Corden) and his wife Agnes (voiced by Joan Gerber). They had two teenagers, Terry and Roger (voiced by Julie McWhirter and Steve Lewis respectively) and one younger child, Chester (voiced by Gene Andrusco).[3]
The theme song's lyrics ended with the advice "Just remember Arnie Barkley's bark is worse than his bite". Doug Goodwin's theme song used part of "(Be It Ever So Humble) There's No Place Like Home".
