Apparently, it would have violated their then strict rules about advertising? That’s what I was told as a child anyway, when I questioned the “Boss Cat” reference one day when watching telly with my fathet.

When the name Hanna-Barbera is mentioned, the cartoons most associated with the production name are Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Top Cat (the latter always being deliberatly mis-tiitled as “Boss Cat” in the weekly BBC Radio Times magazine).
