The only good 70's HB cartoons brought us was Harvey Birdman, Attorney-at-Law.
You are forgetting Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Which beget Cartoon Planet. Which beget The Brak Show.
I said good thing
All of those were fantastic.
How dare you disparage the good name of Old Kentucky Shark.
...With...with my keyboard?
Honestly, SGCtC was a bit before my time. I've only seen a couple eps, and I what I've seen recently doesn't seem to have aged well? Or it was just never my taste, I'm not sure. Brak Show is just like...unwatchable to me.

Cartoon Planet is one of the finest things to come out of Cartoon Network. That and Courage the Cowardly Dog, which, as I discovered on Thanksgiving, is now up in its entirety on youtube.

Everything builds on and learns lessons from previous work. Those lessons can either be what to do or what not to do.
Yes, many cartoons do not hold up over time and are not enjoyable for those outside of a young demographic. However, there are gems and fantastic pieces of work that come through that still could not have existed but for those previous works. Masters of animation emerge over various generations and will continue to emerge and all they bring to us will have been borne of the work of their forebears.

Oh I almost forgot, without Space Ghost Coast to Coast you have no Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Scooby Doo is the perfect example. It was so incredibly lazy!
1. Mystery machine arrives.
2. Meet three parties. Scooby Doo crew works for party A, party B is the red herring, party C is the dress up monster.
3. Fred and Daphne, Scooby and Shaggy investigate. Velma splits time.
4. Scare scene.
5. Clue.
6. Chase scene ends in capture, unmasking the villain.
Same jokes (shaggy and scooby are lazy and hungry and scared!), no character development ever, same plot for a god damned truck full of episodes.
I am finding it difficult to comprehend that there are non-stoned people with the correct number of chromosomes who have ever enjoyed an episode of a Hanna Barberra show. Yogi Bear, The Jetsons and Scooby Doo are so baaad. Every single joke in any of those shows is like 1000 doses of chemotherapy
I don't even think they are that popular. Yeah they used to be TV all the time but I don't think they have all that many fans. It was more the type of show that people tolerated or used to waste time.
Except lots of people enjoy Britney's music. This is literally the first time I have ever heard any adult say they really like Hanna Barberra cartoons.

no you're delusional
millions of people grew up loving scooby doo and the rest and you are an internet person whose mild dislike of a cartoon has been magnified a thousandfold by hearing your minority opinion echoed by a few other internet people like yourself

This is both really funny and really sad.

I totally would have watched a Jabberska cartoon.

I want to hang out with those guys too.
I'll TAKE the CASE!
the only good thing that 70's hb fare brought us was hilarious parodies in the aughts
I love the endless innuendo.

apparently either the whole of humanity is missing something vital or you are
Britney Spears has more listeners today than Beethoven, I'm not sure that popularity and quality have much to do with each other.
quality over time is different than quality at any one time
they are so unlike the glorious animation of the isle nippon
Man, what?
nah, I like the uncultured and unimaginative animation of like, adam reed
EDIT: sometimes
look, it's totally possible and perhaps quite likely that I'm a philistine
