Yogi's Treasure Hunt
This show was originally on the "Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera". The characters pair off into a couple of different groups and each group tries to find the treasure first. Top Cat gives clues along the way to aid in their hunt. Dastardley and Muttley get in the way and try to steal the treasure for themselves. Yogi's Treasure Hunt started in 1985 of September in the fall.

The show explains how the gang get together to find the missing treasure. The show may be airing on Boomerang on Satelittes.
The All-New Popeye Show (1977)
1978 marked the beginning of a new era for the squinty-eyed sailor, returning to the small screen in The All-New Popeye Hour.
This series was broken up into different segments: The Adventures of Popeye, Popeye's Treasure Hunt, Popeye's Sports Parade, and Dinky Dog. The latter segment starred a huge mutt and had little or nothing to do with Popeye or any sort of maritime activity.
Because of the changing times, these episodes featured less fighting and more trickery on the part of Popeye's nemesis, who was back to being called Bluto after his mysterious name-switching run as "Brutus." Each episode also featured a public service portion, in which the spinach-eating swabby would educate his nephews Peepeye, Pupeye, and Pipeye on topics such as home safety or sensible dieting.
Yogi's Space Race (1978)
Yogi's Space Race is a 90-minute Saturday morning cartoon program block produced by Hanna-Barbera from September 9 to December 2, 1978 for NBC. The show also appeared on BBC in the United Kingdom.

The Scooby-Doo Show
This series was created after The Scooby-Doo Movies, which featured a guest star. It was very different from Scooby Doo, Where Are You?, which mostly focused on a spooky theme, and it was always dark. On The Scooby-Doo Show, however, everything was different. It focused more on an action theme, and the plots were better. It also introduced a new character named Scooby Dum.
Yogi's Gang (1973)
"Yogi's Gang" is a 30-minute animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera which aired 16 half-hour episodes on ABC from September 8, 1973, to December 29, 1973. The show began as "Yogi's Ark Lark," a special TV movie on "The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie" in 1972.
Roman Holidays (1972)
Similar in theme to both "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons," "The Roman Holidays" brought a look at life in Ancient Rome, around 63 AD (with a 1970s touch), as seen through the eyes of Augustus "Gus" Holiday and his family.
Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch! (1971)

One day three teens turned the hands on the clock to 12 and when the clock started to bong. Mudsy woke up. Along with his cat Boo, and the teens, they solve crimes and defeat bad guys.
The Banana Splits and Friends Show (1968)
The Banana Splits And Friends Show was the syndicated version of the popular NBC show, The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. The Banana Splits and Friends Show was different from the original Banana Splits Adventure Hour by the fact that it was only 30 minutes long and included other animated shorts such as Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel.
Wacky Races
Wacky Races was one of the best yet shortest running Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. Each show was 30 minutes long with 2 races each. Every episode Dick Dastardly and Muttley (The Mean Machine) would desperately try to win by setting traps that always backfired.
The Jetsons
The Jetsons are a family living in the future. They have all manner of technological appliances to help around the house. George Jetson works at Spaceley's Sprockets, doing his best for his family.
Snagglepuss
Despite being a mountain lion, Snagglepuss is a rather sophisticated individual who merely seeks to better himself and his living situation. He lives in a damp and dark cavern, which isn't too comfortable for someone of his standing. Unfortunately for him, life isn't always fair for a mountain lion and he has to constantly ward off hunters, and some people refuse to talk to him because they're afraid that he'll eat them, not that he would do such a thing. Through it all, Snagglepuss' life is one bizarre twist after another, and even though he's a swell guy, the civilized world seldom wants anything to do with him.
The Flintstones
The Flintstones was a parody on modern suburban life, set in the Stone Age. The characters in the cartoon series all behaved and spoke in a contemporary manner, though they lived in the prehistoric city of Bedrock.
Quick Draw McGraw
The equine sheriff and his faithful burro sidekick, Baba Looey, dispense frontier justice in this Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Quick Draw's six-gun was sometimes replaced by the guitar of his alter ego, the Zorro-like El Kabong, who played a mean six-string.
The Yogi Bear Show
Yogi & Boo Boo are two bears who live in Jellystone Park. Yogi is always getting into trouble. He steals picnic baskets, tries to escape from the park, and other things. Ranger Smith always tries to stop him, and sometimes succeeds. Boo Boo, the level headed one, tries to steer Yogi in the right direction, but Yogi never listens.
The Huckleberry Hound Show
The Huckleberry Hound Show is an animated TV series about a blue dog with a Southern drawl and a fondness for the song "My Darling, Clementine." Every episode had him playing the part of a different profession, from police officer to lion tamer to medieval knight. The one thing that remained constant was Huckleberry's unruffled persistence to triumph over his opponent no matter how often he was outsmarted, outfought or fell victim to his own failed plans.
The Ruff and Reddy Show
The Ruff & Reddy Show was Hanna-Barbera's first cartoon series which featured a cat (Ruff) and dog (Reddy) in serialized adventures, with thirteen episodes comprising a story arc. Ruff, was voiced by Don Messick, and Reddy was voiced by Daws Butler.
Hanna and Barbera opened their cartoon studio the same year MGM (the studio they worked for) closed down its cartoon studio. After much effort, they were able to sell Ruff & Reddy to NBC, but they were only able to get $2700 per half hour of cartoon show, so all the meticulous detail into making the Tom and Jerry shorts were eschewed for a production-line process. Bill and Joe, taking a cue from 1949's "Crusader Rabbit," reasoned the best way to offset the low production values was to create appealing heroes and captivating storylines. Ruff and Reddy made their way through clandestine escapades squaring off against villains like Scarey Harry Safari, Killer and Diller, and Captain Greedy and Salt Water Daffy. Assisting our heroes in several adventures was wacky scientist Professor Gizmo.
The show was first aired on NBC in December 1957 as part of live action host segments. Jimmy Blaine was the host on the show's first run (1957-60), and Captain Bob Cottle replaced him in the second run (1962-64). When the show went into syndication, the opening titles, which were never shown on the NBC telecasts, were seen with the "H-B Enterprises" card. The theme song was also heard for the first time:
Get set, get ready Here comes Ruff and Reddy They're tough but steady Always rough and ready
They sometimes have their little spats Even fight like dogs and cats But when they need each other That's when they're Ruff and Reddy Ruff & Reddy episodes appeared on Family Channel's "Incredible Animals" cartoon show in 1992 and recently the series has aired on Cartoon Network and its sister channel Boomerang.
