I'm 62 yrs I grew up watching these fantastic cartoons they are timeless. Hanna barbera was the king of the Saturday morning cartoon industry I miss that Era.
Gotcha beat at 66. I loved these cartoons as a child and still do, although I have likes and dislikes. Interestingly, I didn't like Jonny Quest very much -- but nobody was a superhero on that show, despite its high quality. HB's Fantastic Four was one of the shows that made me conscious of voice actors, as Paul Frees' voice as the Thing was the one I heard in my head while reading his lines in Fantasic Four comics for decades! This stuff was for sure kid stuff, but I sure miss it!
Mightor is in the running for the world's first superhero, along with Captain Caveman. You can't get older than prehistoric. The Space Ghost-Herculoids crossover in the 80"s was pretty cool. Wish they'd added the Galaxy Trio to the mix, though. Birdman and Blue Falcon should get a team up. They're both bird-themed. :) Although BF was more into the comedic side of HB cartoons. Cool video. Thanks.
Man I miss Hanna Barbera cartoons. Space Ghost and Arun ant were some of my favorites. Birdman and herculoids. Can't further the best ever, CAPTAIN CAVEMAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!
Okay, Iron Man predates Space Ghost. I was around then, so I know. Birdman was a truly LOATHSOME character, as he was WEAK. Two minutes away from direct sunlight and he's normal powered. This plot device was as overused as was Kryptonite during the same time period. Don't get me wrong, though. I LOVED most of Hanna Barbera's superhero cartoons. I was and remain a Space Ghost fanatic, an aficionado of Frankenstein, Jr. and the Impossibles, a devotee of the Herculoids and a lover of HB's Fantastic Four. I just like some characters better than others, like everybody else!😎
They got overshadowed by DC heroes Hannah Barbera was heavily associated with Cartoon Network, which later got more influenced by WB directly so naturally the takeover with DC when it came to Super heroes. What didnt help is that Space Ghost heavily resembles Batman TAS version which got popular at the same time Cartoon Network become a stay on TV. And the Looney Tunes also took more from DC directly when referencing Superheroes instead of just keeping it 'general' and they still do that till this day. While Marvel also took more ground through Xmen and Spiderman TAS.
I enjoyed the HB superhero series, including those you have mentioned, but you're a bit off base claiming that they were important influences on other heroes like Batman and Iron Man. They are like them, yes, but the DC and Marvel heroes pre-date the HB ones by years at least, and in some cases, decades, so it's more the other way around. That takes nothing away from HB's creations, but let's not put the cart before the horse; the HB heroes have their unique aspects, and they are certainly highly entertaining, but their basic concepts are not totally original (if that's possible). I like 'em anyway.

I miss the bowl of cereal and sitting for hours on the floor mesmerized by the cartoons. We were blessed to have that

Loved these characters when I was a child in the 70’s, these cartoons were a gateway to reading comic books for me.

Man I miss Hanna Barbera cartoons.

Birdman and herculoids. Can't further the best ever, CAPTAIN CAVEMAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!
Blue Falcon and Dyno- Mutt all day , next Space Ghost.
I enjoyed thundarr the barbarian!!!
They never get any love but I like these super heroes
This is when you were excited to wake up early Saturday mornings, kids don't know what they're missing.....
Dino Mutt was actually Scooby Doo's cousin. And Blue Falcon and Batman went to college together (along with the Green Hornet).
Right. Then there was the Friday Night Fall Preview before the new Saturday Morning Lineup.
@@3dragon12no way
Mightor was awesome👍👍
Loved all these shows but I would have put the Herculoids behind space ghost.
Love to see a good live action with them!
Best mornings ever. Herculoids were the best. Yesteryear is gone but not are memory's.
Um, Iron Man was before Space Ghost.
My personal favorite is Young Sampson.

I want to see more of they in comic book and TV show on cartoon network

you forgot to put the supervillains Crime Boss Uglor. He is similar to Darth Vader , Thanos , Darkside & ming the the Merciless.
Space Ghost, Birdman, and Blue Falcon were also inspired by Batman, who predates all three of these characters.
Show some love for “The Galaxy Trio” !!!
Make this happen
Mightor always stood out to me. Those creatively capable could make some big money on this i.p
So Warmer Media owns Hanna Barbera, merge that with DC Comics and incorporate the classic HB heroes into the DC Universe
"Team leader, often portrayed as the leader of a team." Why are we still using AI for everything lmao
Thundarr.
