Hey, what ever happened to Hannah Barbara Cartoons?

Like, why aren't we seeing a new Jetsons or Flintstones?

@Saederup92 yeah, right? It seems like Scooby Doo is the only survivor of whatever terrible apocalypse killed off the rest of the HB properties.

@Surasanji Which is truly sad. Other productions are worth keeping too

@Saederup92 Yeah, I mean, I can understand that not everything survives into the future- but things like the Flintstones or Jetsons surely could be made for this generation.

@Surasanji Those two series are classics just like Scooby Doo. I also think the Jetsons has yet to be made into a real movie just like the other two have been

@Saederup92 there hasn't been a live action Jetsons that I'm aware of, but there have been movies. They were just animated.

Still, I feel like the Jetsons could easily be updated. You just update the future. It's a hopeful sci-fi cartoon, there's a lot that can be done with that.

@Surasanji It could surely be possible to make it into live action with some minor changes

@Saederup92 I admit to be thinking about some kind of Altered Carbon/Jetsons crossover.

@Surasanji I've never heard of altered carbon before but it could be interesting

@Saederup92 Altered Carbon is fantastic, both the books and the Netflix series.

@Surasanji Since I don't have netflix, that'd explain why I never heard of it before

@Saederup92 It's a cyberpunk/distopian style sci-fi future.

@Surasanji The Jetsons! Bring back the Googie architecture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googie_a

(Actually, I think that works better in cartoons than real life.)

@Surasanji hmm youtube keeps suggesting i watch something about "the fall of hannah barbera" it something along those lines. lemme see if i can find it

@wolfgang Okay, cool. Let me know. I'd love to watch on that.
