Joseph Barbera 1911 - 2006
You may or may not know that Joseph Barbera of the highly influential American cartooning team of Hanna-Barbera passed away yesterday at the age of 95. Barbera and his long time partner William Hanna were highly influential in American cartoon developing such iconic shows and characters as Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Tom and Jerry, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, and many, many more.
The Duo is highly influential on modern cartooning, and if not for Hanna-Barbera and The Flintstones, there would not be a Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, or even [adult swim].
Perhaps as influential as Walt Disney, we mourn your passing.
I am Malach and I am gonna rustle up some picinic baskets.
RIP Joseph Barbera

oh please don't you dare to compare Flintstones with the other ones, flintstones is way up hight & better w/o having to involve abusing sarcasm to succed or call the attention, now a day shows are funny but not as respectful as the Flintstones.
Oh my Nephew and Niece are into them right now, they love them and also love the Pink Panther/Inspector.
The Flintstones oppended the doors for primetime adult cartoons. I don't know what your problem is, culture and television have changed.
Also the Pink Pather in not Hanna-Barbera.
well if you were refering to the adult cartoon tendency, that sounds fare but you were a bit too broad in the comparison so I took it on everything else.
I never said that Pink Panther is Hanna-Barbera. o-0
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
There certainly would be no adult swim without Hanna Barbera. I mean, you could scratch Harvey Birdman right off the roster.
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrdddddddmaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!!!
Along with Space Ghost and Sealab.
