Snagglepuss was a television show that aired on CBS in the early 1960s. The show focused on the adventures of a pink mountain lion named Snagglepuss, who often found himself in difficult situations due to his penchant for mischief and frivolity. The titular character of the show was voiced by renowned voice actor Daws Butler, who brought a unique sense of humor and charm to the role. Snagglepuss was distinct in that he spoke in a somewhat affected, theatrical accent, often peppering his speech with witty jokes and puns.

Joining Snagglepuss on his many adventures were a cast of supporting characters, including his loyal dog sidekick, the aptly named Snuffles, and his arch-nemesis, a scheming lion named Major Minor. These characters were voiced by Renzo Palmer and Don Messick, respectively, both of whom also brought a great deal of personality and energy to their roles.

Throughout the course of the show, Snagglepuss found himself in a variety of situations, from trying to outsmart Major Minor to getting caught up in bizarre schemes and adventures. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the show was its sense of absurdity and irreverence, with Snagglepuss frequently breaking the fourth wall and addressing the audience directly.

Despite its somewhat unconventional humor, Snagglepuss was a beloved show among viewers in the early 1960s, and it has continued to hold a place in popular culture for decades. Its zany sense of humor, colorful characters, and memorable catchphrases (including Snagglepuss's famous catchphrase, "Exit, stage left!") helped to make it one of the most distinctive and memorable animated shows of its time.

All in all, Snagglepuss was a charming and offbeat show that captured the spirit of the era in which it was produced. With its wit, humor, and sense of adventure, it remains a classic of modern animation and a beloved favorite of many viewers.

Snagglepuss is a series that ran for 2 seasons (34 episodes) between January 30, 1961 and on CBS
