15/16. Captain Planet threw me off, because I thought for sure I saw the Hanna-Barbera logo after an episode in like 1994 or so. Go figure. But I'm a MAJOR Hanna-Barbera fan (especially of the more obscure ones).
14 out of 16, and no, Captain Planet would NOT be proud, as his cartoon was one of the ones I got wrong. I know TBS (Turner Broadcasting Service) had a hand in producing it, so I thought H-B was also involved. I also thought that Teddy Ruxpin might have been another foreign H-B product. But the rest? Not a problem for a lifelong cartoon buff!
You got 10 out of 16, Captain Planet can go ...... well you know!!!
"Captain Planet" was the first case of political correctness in cartoons.
11/16. That produced by & network stuff never stuck with me anyway. Saw an episode of Wait Til Your Father Gets Home in Florida on a Disney World vacation in 1972 when I was 9. Got home & couldn't find it on any of our channels and none of my friends had even heard of the show. It was like a Twilight Zone episode, like I'd seen a TV show that actually didn't exist.
That's because "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" was *syndicated;* that is, the show was sold to individual stations (not on a network) to play at certain times of the day. I guess the stations in your area must have been too cheap to buy it.
But, fear not - "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" *is* available on DVD as a manufactured-on-demand title from the WB Shop (the first season only; the second season is not available on DVD because before Warner Home Video switched the first season DVDs to manufactured-on-demand, it didn't sell well commercially). See the WB Shop's website for more information. Good luck!
By the way: 14/16. Tripped up on #s 3 and 10.

I stand corrected. "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" is no longer available from the WB Shop, but there *are* some copies of the show available on Ebay. But be warned: since these DVD box sets are now *rare,* they are *extremely* expensive. So start saving your money!

14/16. Surprised that Ruby Spears, who produced the Rambo and Hulk Hogan's Rock and Roll Wrestling wasn't listed.
"Rock and Wrestling" was from DIC (now Cookie Jar Entertainment). Pity it isn't available on DVD at this time (I heard WWE Entertainment and Cookie Jar were having some legal hassles).
Also: Why wasn't DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE Films) discussed? DFE was responsible for the "Pink Panther" cartoons (with United Artists), and two childhood favorites from 1972, "The Houndcats" and "The Barkleys" (both of which I have on DVD).

"Captain Planet" was a close one, but I guessed correctly that they meant not H-B. DiC did indeed produce the show at the start for TBS, but after Turner Broadcasting bought Hanna-Barbera, the show eventually switched hands to H-B in 1993.
Since the question asked "Who *brought* the world Captain Planet?" I surmised that they meant who produced the show at its premiere. Glad I guessed correctly! :)

8/16 meh lol
A lot of the Filmation shows are easy to identify just from the sheer amount of stock footage that was re-used in every episode. H-B at least tried not get too repetitious with their visuals (their CONCEPTS, on the other hand, are a different story).
Remember also in "The Brady Kids" Filmation used the same animation pattern that made the kids move like the Archies whenever they played a song? Of course, they had to add in Cindy, who was playing a guitar.
My favourite is Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes
I like those too!
15/16...#10 was wrong for me. Still not bad.
13/16. Mostly because of Boomerang from Cartoon Network (it's all coming back to you)
I thought I knew my H-B cartoons. 14 out of 16 right.
I got 15 out of 16, but The Berenstain Bears is a trick question. It was not Hanna-Barbera. It was only licensed by them from Southern Star Productions (then called Hanna-Barbera Australia, when both were owned by Taft Broadcasting.) A technicality but a fact. Not one HB animator touched those shows. So I really got 16 out of 16. METV knows less than I do about this subject. I was Daws Butler's protege, wrote the book Daws Butler, Characters Actor, and was personal friends with Joe Barbera.
14 for 16. Missed Captain Planet and Berenstain Bears, neither of which I watched much
11 out of 16. Wow!
16/16 just looking at the animation style did.
