The Barkleys
The Barkleys is an animated television series that ran from 1972 to 1973 on NBC and was produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.
Story
The cartoon was inspired by CBS's hit sitcom All in the Family. The show lasted only one season. The series featured a dog family consisting of Arnie, a bus driver, voiced by Henry Corden and his wife Agnes, voiced by Joan Gerber. They had two teenage kids, Terry and Roger, voiced by Julie McWhirter and Gene Andrusco respectively, and one little kid, Chester, voiced by Steve Lewis.
The theme song's lyrics ended with the advice, "Just remember Arnie Barkley's bark is worse than his bite." This meant that Arnie's grouchy, unsociable front concealed a softer heart which he rarely allowed to show. [citation needed]
