Hanna-Barbera.

What are your thoughts on Hanna-Barbera? On one hand, they did make Tom and Jerry, which was genuinely good, they essentially created the animated sitcom with Flintstones and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, and Butch Hartman and Seth MacFarlane came from HB. On the other hand, they made a lot of cheaply animated cartoons and recycled a lot of their own premises. I mean, how many times did they copy the Scooby-Doo formula?

They were quite successful, hell, everyone knows what cartoon Network is. And that is their love child.

You don't have cartoons without HB.

They were very hit and miss for me, For every show I loved there was another I couldn't stand :P

The thing is even their knock offs were entertaining when I was a kid. Who can forget the band with a shark that solved mysteries? (Apparent me since I can't remember their name lol)

That would be Jabberjaw :-)

Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros' "Merry Melodies" and "Looney Tunes"; Chuck Jones; there's a list somewhere of old school stuff that resonates with my childhood.
