I'm 38, lol. I grew up watching them in the 80's and hated them back then too, would've rather watched Real Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Transformers, etc.. Just a bunch of bad animation and characters I did not care for. The only good that came out of them was Space Ghost and Harvey Birdman, ha.

I'd agree with you if Grape Ape didn't exist. Overall though I loved Hanna-Barbera.
