Hanna Barbera's Biggest Flops of the 1970s

What really happened to Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s? Before the flops of the 80s… before the cracks fully showed… there was a decade where the most dominant force in Saturday morning TV quietly started to stumble. In this episode of Dial-Up Days, we’re counting down Hanna-Barbera’s Biggest Flops of the 1970s — the forgotten cartoons, the mid-season cancellations, and the strange experiments that didn’t quite land. From bizarre trend-chasing ideas to shows that were simply ahead of their time, these are the series that networks quickly wanted to forget. Some of these shows vanished entirely. Others live on as strange footnotes in animation history. But together, they tell the real story of how even the biggest empire in Saturday morning TV wasn’t immune to failure. 💬 Now I want to hear from you: Which of these shows do you actually remember? Did you ever watch any of these when they aired… or is this your first time hearing about them? And what’s the strangest cartoon you remember from your childhood? Drop your thoughts in the comments — I read every one. 👍 If you enjoyed this deep dive, make sure to like and subscribe for more nostalgic breakdowns of classic TV, forgotten flops, and behind-the-scenes stories from the 80s and 90s. 📼 Check out our previous video on Hanna-Barbera’s 1980s failures — the collapse gets even crazier.
