Thanks for the memories

Joe Barbera, of the Hanna-Barbera animation team, died Monday. He was 95.

"Joe Barbera, half of Yogi Bear creator team, dies at LA home"

"Animation Legend Joe Barbera Dead At 95"

I grew up watching the reruns and syndicated shows of the Hanna-Barbera duo -- "Tom and Jerry," "The Flintstones," "The Jetsons," "Yogi Bear" ("Hey, Boo Boo!"), and "Scooby-Doo." OK, and "The Smurfs."

Watching Saturday morning cartoons was a weekend ritual. And I always looked forward to getting home and watching the shows after school, too.

They just don't make cartoons like those anymore.
