I'd give anything, really, to go back in time to the 90's when Hanna Barbera were allowing newer and younger talents direct one-shots or revisit older characters to make their start in the animation industry - names like Butch Hartman and Seth MacFarlene were probably much better with the shorts they had at this period.
If I were given the freedom and creativity then to do what I wanted, I'd love to see this short made - featuring two different series both set in the Ozarks. "Pumkin Puss and Mushmouse" started this trend with The Magilla Gorilla Show from 1964 followed by "The Hillbilly Bears" a year later with The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show/. Watching them individually sparked off this idea for a crossover with this story in mind:
While chasing Mushmouse across the hills, Pumkin Puss accidentally wanders onto the Rugg's territory. Pa does his best to get rid of the "interferin' puss cat" while Pumkin Puss tries to get his mouse back. Meanwhile, Mushmouse takes refuge in the bear's shack and Ma has her own problem of getting him out...not knowing that Pa is actually chasing away the solution!
...heh, and I'll bet not many of you might remember watching these two shows at all

Speakin' of Punkin Puss (It's spelled Punkin, Not Pumkin.), I really think he should have a crush on Daisy Mayhem of Laff-a-Lympics but the feeling's not mutual!
And I just want to comment this: If Hanna Barbera characters were Transformers, then the Hillbilly Bears would be the Dinobots of HB! I totally see Paw Rugg as Grimlock & Maw Rugg (Who's my favorite of the Ruggs!) as Slag!
