There goes another icon of my yoof

Joe Barbera has died aged 95. I wonder how many re-runs he saw over the years? That man is responsible for a huge number of my favourite TV memories from childhood (and now with Boomerang, as an immature adult):

  • Tom and Jerry
  • The Flintstones
  • Scooby Doo
  • The Huckleberry Hound Show
  • The Yogi Bear Show
  • Quick Draw McGraw
  • Top Cat
  • Wacky Races
  • Banana Splits

And not forgetting the greatest cartoon ever: Hong Kong Phooey! De de de de de de daaaa.

  1. I discovered from the radio reports, that probably along with most people, I’ve been mispronouncing his name all my life. It’s not “Barbra”, it’s “Bar-bear-a”!

  2. I thought he was a woman until my teens.
