all the crappy Hanna-Barbera stars in one boring package

Okay,...I'll admit it. I hold a grudge against Hanna-Barbera Productions for doing so much to lower the standards for Saturday morning cartoons. Instead of the very high quality of the earlier Warner Brothers cartoons or even their own Tom and Jery cartoons of the 40s and 50s (yes, Hanna and Barbera first worked on excellent Tom and Jerry cartoons until MGM stupidly fired them and replaced them with cheap hacks), the Hanna-Barbera shows of the 60s and 70s were lousy all around--with rotten animation and writing most 12 year-olds would be ashamed to call their own. They KNEW HOW TO MAKE GREAT CARTOONS BUT GAVE IN TO THE DRAW OF FAST MONEY! So, gone were the high production values and they were replaced with crap like this! YOGI'S LAUGH OLYMPICS was a truly awful show that was sort of like combining THE WACKY RACERS with THE YOGI BEAR SHOW. Every episode was nearly alike and the show was only watchable by extremely young children. Anyone else would surely be bored.
