I hope that Joseph Barbera wouldn't mind that the first thing I heard in my mind's ear when I heard the news was Snagglepuss saying "Exit, Stage Left."

From Hanna-Barbera, I loved Snagglepuss, Yogi and Boo Boo, Huckleberry Hound, Pixie and Dixie, Quick Draw McGraw (and Baba Looey), The Banana Splits, and of course, The Jetsons.

As for the best cartoons ever, though, I'll leave that for a different thread.

"Heavens to Murgatroid!" RIP, Joseph Barbera.

I have many many memories where Hanna-Barbera comes to mind. I grew up right outside of Kings Dominion (like five minutes away) which was originally owned by Hanna Barbara.

There were H-B characters everywhere including Yogi's Cave, Smurf Mountain, the Scooby Doo Coaster, Jetsons cars, etc. I could go on and on. I basically grew up at this place.

I still have my boo boo stuffed animal that my dad won for me once and a sweatshirt with scooby.

I liked all the obvious ones.. the Jetsons, Flintstones, Smurfs but I also liked the snorkels.

Sooo many awesome cartoons, but I will always love the Flinstones, Jetsons, and Smurfs. A friend was just telling me that the Flinstones was the 1st cartoon that had a sitcom format and aired on primetime. They're characters really took cartoons to the next level.

I am one of those who would watch the Flintstones on prime time with my father. Every Friday night at 8 PM. Never heard of them until my father and a friend were talking about the Flintstones while we were driving somewhere. I was immediately hooked.

Huckleberry Hound was one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons. Along with Trixie and Pixie the mice.

I remember when Hanna Barbera opened their office in Studio City in the part of town that is now Universal Studios. Wanted to go and visit, but alas they were not open to the public. Was not a happy little kid when I heard that.

No, they don't have the great voices in their heads, except perhaps for SpongeBob. (When my six-year-old gets frustrated, we hear "Oh, tartar sauce!")

Please, though, stop "shouting" -- posts are much easier to read without the all-caps and all-bold. Thanks.

I am absolutely amazed at all the people who loved the Smurfs. Granted, I was in college when the Smurfs were popular, but we thought they were Satan's spawn.

Boomerang programming is available on Comcast OnDemand, if you have digital cable.

And I agree w/ MC, stop shouting through the megaphone.
