Truthfully, I've never gotten around to seriously watching the vast majority of their early stuff, but I don't think I'm missing much. The only stuff they made that I really care for as the shows themselves and not just pieces of history are the couple of Cartoon Cartoons like Dexter and PPG that were technically made in-house at HB, but I usually attribute all those more to Genndy and the rest of the late-90s CN crew than anyone else.

Ups and downs.

They're historically important for many, many reasons. The Flintstones alone set prime time precedents and was an influence on TV animation since forever, Scooby Doo has proven itself timeless and in essence they made some damned good television cartoons for nearly 50 years before they integrated with Warner Bros and CN. Even the charming Rocky and Bullwinkle and most other TV fair prior to the 80s looks cheap and weak comparatively.

Alex Toth's artwork and designs were vividly brought to life in the 60s and while pretty much literally everything they've ever done is episodic, it *does* make it easier to just pick up and watch.

However, nearly all of their cartoon shorts have become kinda forgettable and dated compared to Looney Tunes timelessness (Tom and Jerry notwithstanding) and they spent the entirety of the 70s ripping themselves off with countless Scooby Doo clones and during it and the 80s they made a ton of flops with the exception of getting to make Smurf cartoons. The late 90s did nothing but mock their legacies in late night stoner shows (and since Venture Brothers is still a thing, it's still going on)

While I feel all the good they did outweighs the bad, the sheer volume of work HB completed means you have to sift through alot of grit to get the gold.

Also, nearly every single celebrity cartoon they made (with the exception of many Scooby Doo Movie eps) was pretty much a garbage cash in. Somebody prove me otherwise.
