We Always Suspected Mr. Ranger
While we may fret about the potential desecration of Warner Bros. cartoons, we really don’t care what the studios do with the Hanna-Barbera catalog, which, while certainly a staple of American childhood, wasn’t necessarily a beloved staple.
(Do you remember the Jetsons for the gags or the gizmos? Case closed.)
We will grant that there was worse Saturday-morning fare to be consumed — anything produced by Filmation comes to mind — and we count our blessings that we escaped before the Product Tie-In Apocalypse hit the airwaves.
But Hanna-Barbera cartoons as classics? Well, no. Except for Harvey Birdman. But that was a meta afterthought.

I wonder why cartoons changed… oh right. Raygun loosened the rules on broadcasting.
The More You Know.
Whoever wrote that tagline needs to review their slang dictionary – “coming” in “bears”? ;)
@al2o3cr: I remember watching these Yogi Bear cartoons as a kid and now I think I know what explains everything, you know, besides the influence of Jonathan Frakes on TNG.
Obligatory comment that’s probably expected from me complete.
@Capt Howdy: OMG that was so NSFW…
@rptrcub:
it was just a hairy butt.
Hanna Barbera cartoons are fair game for bad movies. I will never forgive those responsible for the travesty Hollywood inflicted on Rocky and Bullwinkle.
@Capt Howdy: The thought was appreciated, though.
@homofascist: It’s Friday. Standards are lower.
Speaking of unintentionally hilarious things, we, sadly, won’t have Basil Marceaux to kick around anymore!
@mellbell: He could still run as an independent.
@mellbell:
Wow. Good to know that there are at least 3525 complete fucking lunatics in TN. (I’m assuming Basil voted for himself, although that isn’t 100%…)
@mellbell: Stormy, Basil, even good old Katherine Harris…all the good ones leave us. *le sigh*
