| 4041 | Article | OldSchool80s | I love Hanna-Barbera. But of the shows you listed, The Flintstones is the only one that would even be considered for my Top 5 (but probably would just miss it). I always loved the Laff-a-Lympics because it included so many of the characters. I also loved the Banana Splits as a live-action show. For regular cartoons, I think it is hard to not include Scooby Doo. I absolutely loved Super Friends. I would probably also include Hong Kong Phooey, Captain Caveman and Blue Falcon | Aug 07, 2017 |  | |
| 4045 | Article | Superman | I was very fond of Scooby-Doo during my childhood, much to my mom's dismay since she couldn't stand him. He's probably still my favorite Hanna-Barbera character, even now. | My Five All Time Favorite Hanna Barbera Toons | Aug 07, 2017 | |
| 4047 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Scooby-Doo ruled my pre-school years, but Hong Kong Phooey was always an odball treat along with Dyno-Mutt. Apparently I was tight with Hanna-Barbera's canine crew. | My Five All Time Favorite Hanna Barbera Toons | Aug 09, 2017 | |
| 4297 | Article | Michelangelo | Yogi Bear, Huck Hound, Flintstones, Scooby-Doo (Where Are You? and New Scooby Movies) and SWAT Kats were some of the best cartoons Hanna-Barbera put out. | My Five All Time Favorite Hanna Barbera Toons | Mar 01, 2018 | |
| 4111 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was with my wife (then girlfriend) in my work truck, delivering cylinders. We had stopped at a gas station to pick up something to eat. When I returned I heard on the news that a plane had hit the WTC. At first, I thought they meant a small passenger plane. Like some random person might have lost control and hit it. Then the second plane hit and more details emerged. These were not small planes, and it was no accident. The rest of the day I spent listening in on the radio as I worked. Then when I returned to the office I watched the images and was horrified. Like you said, never before had I felt more of a camaraderie with my fellow citizens than the weeks following the attacks. We were a country united under one common cause. Politics, race, social standing... all of that was gone for a brief moment in time. Tragic as it was, there was also beauty. Naturally, that wouldn't last. But it's something I can carry with me forever. | Where Were You That September Day? | Sep 11, 2017 | |
| 4112 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | I was in school when it happened. First grade at the time. Barely even into the school year at that point. We had art class that morning. I don't know if we were forced to leave art class early or if we just left at the standard time, but it was after art class that everything went wrong. As we were walking back to class, the vice principal was walking down the hall and told us "Code Red". Our teacher informed us that this wasn't a drill and that it was serious. As we were walking by the door that was the entrance to the school, I saw my mother among a swarm of parents signing out their kids to bring them home early. After sitting in the classroom for a few minutes, I was pulled out by mother and taken home. After being home for a few minutes, my father arrived home cursing and shouting at the TV. I don't really remember the rest of the day. The weeks that followed I do remember. It was a pretty emotional time, especially for my town. I came from a town that had a lot of first responders to the attack. To add to the sad climate, a girl who was in my class lost her father in the attacks. Everyday we wore flag pins to school to show our support. Even as a young kid it was impossible to be shielded from what happened. In some way I guess I'm glad that I and my fellow classmates were so young at the time. We didn't have to experience the horror like many others here on Retro Daze had to as young adults or even teenagers in High School. | Where Were You That September Day? | Sep 11, 2017 | |
| 4113 | Article | NLogan | My wife and I were getting ready to go to school. We were in college. We heard it first on the radio and then ran down a few apartments to our friend's place. They had cable. We watched live as the second plane hit and people started jumping from the upper floors who were trapped. We watched as two more planes were hijacked one hit the Pentagon and one went down in a field. We went to school but nearly every class cancelled. There were crowds around the televisions in the Student Center. I was taken back to junior high remembering watching the night battles in Iraq with tracer rounds and explosions. I knew we would be sucked into another war. My friends left for NY to help. I visited Washington D.C. in December of that year. I photographed the hole in the Pentagon draped by a huge flag. I went to a memorial display at the Smithsonian that had hundreds of personal items: wallets, phones, shoes, photos, rings, etc. from people who lost their lives in the towers. I saw crushed firetrucks and first responder vehicles. A few years later I went to NY and saw the cleanup and construction where the two towers used to be. I will always remember. | Where Were You That September Day? | Sep 11, 2017 | |
| 4114 | Article | Mr Magic | I was a freshman in high school. I was in art class when someone turned on the TV and we found out the horrific news. | Where Were You That September Day? | Sep 11, 2017 | |
| 4115 | Article | vkimo | I was a freshman as well, my mom told me what happened as I woke up. It didn't register until I got to school and every class was just people staring, jaws open, at the TV screens. Teachers were crying, it was intense. I always felt we should have built the world's highest skyscraper on ground zero's foundation as a sign to the world that the US was still number one. | Where Were You That September Day? | Sep 12, 2017 | |
| 4116 | Article | Benjanime | i was in the middle of a history class when it was on the news. pretty much like how vkimo described, the students in my class reacted in the same way. some of our classwork was even cut that day just to watch what we could on the incident. | Where Were You That September Day? | Sep 12, 2017 | |
