I think in actually only a few really stood the test of time Hanna-Barbara are legends I'm not denying that but they had a quantity over quality mindset pushing out as many cartoons as possible trying to capture the success of other shows they made and most of the times it didn't work they even ripped off Scooby-Doo a show they made more times than I can count. They have iconic show The Flinstones, Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, Tom & Jerry and to a lesser extent The Justice Friends, Johnny Quest, Yogi Bear & Huckleberry Hound but I think most of everything else for the most part is forgotten.

Money, what else. That and people might get tired of it from time to time. Boomerang should play these as least 3 times a year. They're too good to leave off the air, with the possible exception of multiple rip-offs of like the Flintstones, Scooby Doo, the super friends, and numerous others. Just a bunch of lazy people trying to be hangers-on to grab a quick paycheck, that, in a nutshell, was one of the main reasons why the quality of cartoons has deteriorated so badly during the 70's, 80's, etc. As to why a lot of these cartoons are no longer on the air, one person in this group hinted at it, when a lot of these shows contributed to the violence of the times. But that could Also be said for things like "pro wrestling" , mma, etc.

It's too bad it it shows junk like "Teen Titans Go" (the original was better and edgy) and "Gumball" crap. I never like Scooby-Doo, which came out at the end of the 1960s; I believed in 1969.

[@Dimeropepe]

@@gibbs615 The reason why I didn't like "Scooby-Doo" is that it wasn't t funny to me. Shaggy and the Scooby-Doo merely stumbled around and, by chance or accident, captured the crooks. The other shows on the networks, such as "Secret Squirrel" (NBC) and "The Impossibles" (CBS), were clever take-offs of the spy movies of the 1960s. I'm glad someone mentioned & appreciated "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home". Cartoon Network (CN) began airing Canadian programs like the one you stated ("Total Drama Island") to a new generation of viewers. I think that is why CN put the classics on The Boomerang Network.

This spans the first 22 years of my life. Regular standard broadcast television as we know it was just over a decade old after staring up after the end of World War II. I was born almost three months before Ruff and Reddy debuted on a Saturday December 14, 1957 on NBC. But I didn't start seeing the show until I was five later in 1962 in reruns on Saturday mornings. But from the earliest fringes of my memory say about when I was about two around 1959-1960, my uncle reminded me from the waist up (while sitting down) I used to rock back and forth to beat of the intro music of the Huckleberry Hound show. It really threw me for a loop when The Flintstones, Top Cat and The Jetsons were featured in early prime-time. It was beyond me to understand H-B was trying to capture a broader demographic aside from kids like me. I did had a trace of awareness in me the back and forth dialogue among the characters was a couple notches more sophisticated and complex than usual. I was caught up in that kid-vid surge of early H-B shorts of Yogi Bear, Wally Gator, Touché Turtle & Dum Dum, Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har. By the early 1960s; "Heavens to Murgatroyd", it seems I had more than my fill of laughs from talking animals in silly, goofy and crazy situations. It was after viewing renowned Alex Toth's artistic influences in Space Angel that whet my appetite for science fiction action/adventure (getting caught up in the build up news coverage of US/USSR space race also helped) for this five year old in 1962. Seeing Toth's artistic style brought forth a comic book sense of design and realism style to television cartoons never seen before. The best was yet to come On a 1964 September Friday evening at 7:30, a day before my 7th birthday amid my usual channel flipping around I ran across some VERY strange imagery on ABC. Jonny Quest distinctive realistic illustrative style of Doug Wildey (along with additional artistic touches from Toth) blew my mind as I tuned in and became hooked. Toth's further work on Space Ghost, Birdman, Galaxy Trio and other characters took me 'OUT THERE'. His creation of The Herculoids is the pinnacle H-B animation for fantastic sci-fi/fantasy action expressivity and wide eyed escapism for me. By 1968, it was the grass roots tactics of Action for Children's Television (ACT) that irrevocably changed the landscape of the big three networks Saturday morning scheduling. Hindsight a couple decades later as I became a parent and grandparent myself, I came to understand and respect the various reasons and rationale of protecting what we kids be influenced by TV. Upon turning 11 back then, just couldn't stomach that tsunami of changes switch over to live action excessive goofy/silliness, music leaden themes, TV commercials brainwashing, more educational focus and TONED DOWN excessive violence. I think I started swearing to myself (not around adults) around that time. Hey, my early adolescence was flaring up as the 1970s rolled in for differences of focus for my time and attention. I couldn't get into Scooby Doo, because I working my own teenage mysteries without any clues...with less interest in cartoons. Although I did while in high school took some looks at Sealab 2020 (I couldn't believe it was so boring) while wondering how much any of the technological marvels of the series may come to pass as I become a old man at 63. In the 1990s my son and I at times watched Dexter's Laboratory, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (good but not as good as the original) and even the Powderpuff Girls. I never thought Saturday morning big three networks kid-vid programing would give way to cable networks like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. I can't get into the spinoff adult themed parodies (not funny to me) of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Sealab 2021 and Harvey Birdman; Attorney at Law, but that's the remaining remnant of a 10 year old that is still in me. It is ironic The Banana Splits characters from 1968 would serve as plot device, which would serve as an R-rated movie parody of slasher films by 2019. It's just that the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons were a grand part of my own 'wonder years'...

They might not have had HD or CGI back then. But these old cartoons gave us everlasting memories of fun and happiness. Cartoons like scooby doo and wacky races are still popular.

[@eriks3260]

I own almost all of those cartoons on DVD!!!! Memories!!!!

Johnny Quest was awsome.

That intro was incredible. The character designs were by Alex Toth (who also did Space Ghost and many other iconic adventure shows of the time). The Model Sheets he made are things of beauty and a Master Class in characterc design.

The Fantastic Four cartoon was demented perfection. And all their 1960's cartoons have such a cool vibe.

[@genesisstanley8163]

I was born in 2004 but I grew up knowing most of these cartoons cuz my dad was born in the early 1950s and grew up watching these cartoons so this is all nostalgia for me☺️❤️and I miss the old boomerang with the fun commercials🥺

I was 5 in '57, so I lived for Hanna-Barbera cartoons up into my early 20s...LOL For Halloween 1960, I went as Fred Flintstone and as Huckleberry Hound in 1961...and I still have many of the Hanna-Barbera comic books I've kept all this time...I think I still have the one where the Jetsons met the Flintstones at the 1964 NY World's Fair...and I still treasure my Flintstones metal Aladdin lunchbox from 1962! I saw the Harlem Globetrotters in '71 and still have the program with the cartoon Globetrotters on the cover!

Shoutout to Cartoon Network for featuring a lot of these cartoons to fill their slots. It introduced a whole new generation to otherwise forgotten cartoons.

It’s because Turner had bought Hanna-Barbera and they created the channel.

[@chrisbean]

I'm 34 now, but I distinctly remember back in the 90s when I was a child watching not all but some of these classic unforgettable cartoons and enjoying every bit of it. My personal favorites were The Flintstones, the Jetsons, Top Cat Scooby-Doo, Josie & the Pussy Cats, The Addams Family, Popeye.

[@jimmyb1559]

If we were good when our older sister was watching us she’d let us put our small tv in the bedroom. We’d watch the Flintstones at night or Gomer Pyle. But the best part was waking up in the morning with the tv in our room so we could stay in bed eating cereal and watching Saturday morning cartoons. Life was good.

I saw most of these when they aired the first time. Yeah, I'm old. Top Cat and Huckleberry Hound are 2 of my earliest memories. I had a HH spoon that I used for breakfast for many years. What I noticed watching this is how they tried to capitalize on big things happening elsewhere, like teen music groups of the late 60s, a certain motorcycle stuntman famous for big jumps in the early 70s, and the martial arts craze of the mid 70s spawned by a certain Chinese monk in the old west.

Such fond memories!!❤❤ I “religiously “ watched every one of these Saturday morning shows!!🥰💖💕

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

The only show to last more than three seasons in a row was the Flintstones. Some came back for more seasons but it was unique for the company. It even had its spinoff Pebbles and Bam Bam for two more seasons after its run as well as the Flintstones Comedy Hour for two more years. Late the Popeye Hour had 5 years as well. Ninety-two shows in all and only two made it that far. Amazing.

Many Thanks fir this, Animated.... I came along in time to catch most of them in first-run, but have seen just about all in syndicated reruns. How could I have ever forgotten Penelope Pitstop? Anyhow, since Warner Bros. bought H-B, they now own all of these characters. I wish they would revive the best ones like Space Ghost in his original superhero form, and Top cat, of course! He was great, but so many were - it's weird a lot of these only ran for one season.

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. Many of the shows depicted I'd never heard of because they were not shown in the UK, but what I do remember was as a child in the 1970's and the repeats we did have, Saturday mornings was an absloute gem watching Wacky Races, Dastardly and Mutley, Huckleberry Hound, Hong Kong Phooey etc and my personal favourite Penelope Pitstop. Saturday mornings will never be the same again. Hanna Barbera bought so much happiness to kids in an age where 'PC' and 'woke' didnt exist.

Jonny Quest had the coolest theme music, even rivaling shows like "Mission: Impossible" or "Hawaii Five-O". Honorable Mentions for cool cartoon show theme music: "Spiderman" (1967-1970) and "Pink Panther" (1969-1970, and later incarnations).

[@alwaystinkering7710]

100% agree! Jonny Quest's theme has always been in my top 5!

[@writerpatrick]

The Pink Panther theme was written by Henri Mancini who was a well recognized composer. It's worth watching Peter Gunn just to hear his scoring.

[@garylockhart7112]

That Jonny Quest theme just screams danger, excitement and intrigue.

[@TheBklynraider55]

People in Jonny Quest got killed in the cartoons! Not like Fred Flintstone gets slammed with a Boulder by Wilma and Fred is sporting a big ass lump. Then next scene it was gone. Loved Jonny Quest.
