Hong.
Kong.
Phooey.

STFU.

Never watched Hong Kong Phooey. By the time it came out, I was past Saturday morning cartoon age.

I always thought that Hanna Barbara stuff was crap. With the exception of the Superfriends. I've always been a WB guy myself.

No Jetsons or Flintstones? As much for adults as they were for kids. Bulwinkle show was a childhood fave....Fractured Faiytales et al.

Final Jeopardy material: The Jetsons (1962-63 season) is one of the very few series to be broadcast across the big 3 networks. Obviously not simultaneously.

Hanna-Barbera was basically a content mill under tight budgets and deadlines for the networks for saturday morning tv. They recycled stories, animation, and ideas all the time. Scooby-Doo was one of their most popular shows since the Flintstones so of course they ran it into the ground for years with a series of imitators that all had the same essential premise: 3 or 4 teens roam the country solving mysteries with a "wacky" sidekick chracter. Lot of the imitators are much more forgotten but a couple off the top of my head

The Funky Phantom (three teens & a ghost solve mysteries)
Speed Buggy (three teens & their talking car solve mysteries)
Goober and the Ghost Chasers (three teens & their dog bust fake ghosts)

[Hannibal]

The Jetsons and the Flintstones never did anything for me. It was the laugh tracks. I hated the laugh tracks as a kid. Heck I still do.

Some of the best cartoon work of all time was George of the Jungle, Super Chicken and Tom Slick. All three of those were part of the same half hour program on Saturdays.

Also, Jon alluded to Bullwinkle and Rocky. Cartoons that were so stupid that they were hilarious. Fractured fairy tales, "Mr. Peabody", etc. All good stuff.

And finally, just about everything Warner Bros did with Mel Blanc was great.

Today's cartoon makers and that stupid anime stuff should bow their heads in shame.

Only if they drive the Mystery Machine back in time:

Under Dog original air date: October 3, 1964
Scooby-Doo original air date: September 13, 1969

I stand corrected

The concept is great. So many TV shows have borrowed on that concept. The first three seasons have some genuinely spooky villians for a little kid even if the animation is fairly crude. I have a ton of the the DVDs, my kids loved them.
