One of American network television’s earliest showcases for animated theatrical shorts, Barker Bill’s Cartoons typically aired two cartoons of six to eight minutes in length per show, with an unidentified off-camera announcer providing the voice for a drawing of Barker Bill and introducing the segments.
The shorts were the Terrytoons series from the 1930s, including continuing characters like Farmer Al Falfa and Puddy the Pup.
