Crusader Rabbit is an American animated cartoon series created by Alexander Anderson and Jay Ward, and the first of its kind to be produced specifically for television. Its main characters were Crusader Rabbit and his sidekick Ragland T. Tiger, or "Rags". The stories were four-minute-long satirical cliffhangers.
The concept was test marketed in 1948, while the initial serial – Crusader vs. the State of Texas – aired on KNBH in Los Angeles beginning in 1950. The program was syndicated from 1950 to 1951 for 195 episodes, then was revived in 1956 for 260 color episodes. Ward, who later went on to create The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends, was involved as business manager and producer.
