The death of a legend today as Joseph Barbera, one half of the legendary Hanna Barbera duo, who made such classics as Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo and the Flintstones, dies aged 95. Growing up in the 80's you were sure to hear this little snippet (see movie clip below) several times a week, ingrained in my memory as it is. It was always apparant to me that these toons were a little darker and more subservient than the Disney stable and thus more enjoyable. Here's a run down of some of some of my highlights: The Jetsons The Banana Splits Dastardly and Mutley Josie and the Pussycats Charlotte's Webb Hong Kong Phooey Captain Caveman Godzilla Black Beauty Popeye The Smurfs and The Powerpuff Girls.
