I love this dvd because I'm a die hard Hanna barbera fanatic. I love these shows ever since I was little. They are still awesome nowadays. I can watch them all day. However one small gripe. There is no yogi bear or huckleberry hound. That makes up for it by including an episode of the obscure loopy de loop. Anyway this is still an awesome two disc set. I love it. The run time makes it a great choice to watch in the backseat of a long car ride. Hanna barbera forever. H.B. For the win

I love this DVD! It has so many good classic cartoons on it. Quick Draw McGraw, Jetsons, Flintstones, and so many more. Really good set to have on hand. My 9 year old loves them. Easy to pop in and watch one or all.

Recommend this product. Original and works. Unfortunately mine came without a slipcover, it would have been nice to have it with a slipcover, but overall it doesn' t affect the functionality so I gave 5 stars anyway.

Great memories

What a great collection of my favorite cartoons! I remember watching these cartoons when i was a kid. Yhey brinvbback great memories. Ny favorite is The Flintstones

Let me start out by saying I don't watch HBO or most current shows. It will become clear why I say this. The people at Warner Archive, however, likely do watch HBO, and it's their idea of what TV ought to be. Therefore, WB packages HBO's shows in lavish DVD sets with lots of extras. But they are convinced that the demographics for say, "classic" Hanna-Barbera cartoons and old TV shows belong to the lowest price points and are not worth bothering with. But, thinks Warner Bros, let's throw them a bone. After all, old TV shows launched Nick at Nite, and are the staple of the roaringly successful ME TV free TV, so much so that people are taking back their Comcast boxes and putting up aerials for this one channel. And both USA and Cartoon Network garnered a large and faithful audience whenever they showed HB shows. So the demographic is wrong, and we ought to put these out on DVD (DVD being as old school as the classic cartoon audience). But the Golden Collection DVD sets didn't sell all that well. Never mind that they were almost never in stores, received no advertising support, and some of the best shows never came out in the series. We need a less risky approach that cuts costs (read "quality"). Enter Warner Archives. That ancient-sounding name must herald, thinks the reader, the sort of attention to quality that attends Disney Archive DVDs. Think of all the extras HB cartoon discs could hold. A cornucopia of cartoon creativity. But alas, it was not to be. The people at Warner Archive are too busy watching HBO to care about HB. But they did throw us this bone. If you didn't already buy Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s vol. One and Two Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s Vol. 1 Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s Vol. 2 , or 4 Kid Favorites- Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s 4 Kid Favorites: Saturday Morning Cartoons - 1960s (the same set as SMC 1960s volume One in different packaging), you might enjoy this set. But you'd have a sense of deja vu when you got to these cartoons: Disc one opens with three cartoons from the Quick Draw McGraw Show: "Dynamite Fright" (Quick Draw); "Outer Space Case" (Snooper and Blabber); "Growing Growing Gone" (Augie Doggie). Great' toons, but where have you seen them before? All three appear on Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s, Vol. 1. There's another episode of Quick Draw: "Mark of El Kabong" (Quick Draw); "Party Pooper Pop" (Augie Doggie); "Chilly Chiller" (Snooper and Blabber). This appeared on SMC 1960s, Vol. 2. The Jetsons' episode is unaccountably "Rosey the Robot", which was the pilot and appeared on SMC 1960s, vol. 1. Why, when HB/ WB has released the entire first season of The Jetsons on DVD? Disc two includes "The Shocking Electrical Monster" (Frankenstein Jr.) and "The Spinner" (The Impossibles), as well as "The Heat Thing" (Space Ghost), all three from SMC 1960s, Vol. 1. From the Peter Potamus Show we get "Black Bart", which appeared on SMC 1960s, Vol 2. The special features are "Here Comes a Star" a black and white pre-launch special for The Magilla Gorilla Show, with plugs for its sponsor, Ideal Toys. The trailers are ads for "More Scooby Doo!" and a very violent montage of Tom and Jerry. Slim pickins, Cartoon Fans. What can Warner Archives do? Apparently the giant studio, despite the opening trailer celebrating its 90th anniversary, lacks the clout to collect cartoons. Like all the other cartoon studios, they could simply release their DVDs through Disney's Buena Vista Distribution, which seems to have no problem getting in stores and attracting attention. Then, of course, they could simply hire people who love cartoons and those others can go and work at HBO or whatever they think is the current epitome of pay TV. Just to skew the demographic, I merely note that I won't be watching or buying any HBO shows, but I will be looking for HB DVDs if WB takes the time to put out some good ones.
