Just damn.
A sad day for we folks that appreciate the cartoons of old.
Here's to having a 'yabba-dabba-doo time' up their with your partner, Mr Barbera. May you rest in peace!
Rest in Peace and thank you for making me laugh!
All of the classics I watched as a kid. Heavens to Murgatroid! Exit, stage heaven!
"... success in the 1950s with a witty series of animated TV comedies, including "The Flintstones," "The Jetsons," "Yogi Bear," "Scooby-Doo" and "Huckleberry Hound and Friends."
As a TV reviewer called it 35 years ago, "The Hanna-Barbera garbage factory. He was right.

Does anyone know whether this man was a liberal or a conservative? I've never heard one way or the other about Messrs. Hanna & Barbera.

More memories from my yute:
Flintstones, Jetsons, Yogi, Huckleberry Hound
Condolences to his family.
When I heard about this on Fox the first thought I had was "Thank you, Mr. Barbera."
I wonder if men like this ever know how much joy they gave to so many children...and adults.
A Boo-Boo Bear farewell...........
So long,
Good long run. Rest in peace to Mr. Barbera and a thanks for your creations !
Anyway, Hanna-Barbera is always a name I remember (didn't think it was 2-person name).
Tom and Jerry was my favorite. The Saturday morning cartoons these days are unwatchable to me.
Maybe because I'm getting old ? :(
Hannah-Barbera cartoons were not my favorites, but I can't deny their influence (and I still have fond childhood memories of watching "Schooby-Doo"). Coupled with Chuck Jones' passing a few years ago, this is sad news.
RIP
Another cultural icon passes.
RIP, Mr. Barbera.
A few years ago, my elderly neighbor's elderly dog died. Her husband had died the year before, after a long period of having nursing care in their home. Anyway, one of the nurses gave her a dog, a smallish border collie mix. It wasn't a good fit--an energetic dog with an old woman who had trouble walking. The dog escaped from her house on an almost daily basis and started coming to our house, where our old dog had recently died leaving us dogless for the first time in 13 years. We'd give the dog a walk, then bring her back to her home, almost dragging her. When the old woman said she was giving up and was going to give the dog to the pound, we decided to take her. At the very least we could find a better home for her than the pound, and I knew that once we actually had the dog at home a couple of days, there'd be no way we were giving her away.
After we'd had her about a year, I was talking to the old lady's daughter, who told me that the dog had supposedly belonged to Joe Barbera before. The same nurses were taking care of him, and he'd had to get rid of his dogs.
So, assuming that all that's true, I have Joe Barbera's old dog, who, apart from a habit of pulling the trash bag out of the can and hauling it out to the living room rug, is a sweetheart. Thanks, Joe.
Goodbye, Mr. Barbera. You filled my early years with laughter and joy.
They're either dropping like flies or we're all just getting OLD! (And I refuse to believe that!)
