Hiya, do you like cartoons?
Hey! Yes I love cartoons, what are your favourites?
I grew up watching Hanna-barbera, especially tom and jerry, but now a days watch the popular stuff the kiddos like.
I've never seen Hanna-barbera, maybe it was before my time... What's it about?
Well they are a production company, part of Warner Brothers.  They had Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, Huckleberry hound, Smurfs, Jetsons, etc
Oh I never knew that, do you watch any modern cartoons?
I did watch Rocko's Modern Life when I had cable that included Nichelodeon.  I'm not sure that's super modern, but came to popularity later than most of Hanna Barbera's stuff.
So if you're experience is mainly with older cartoons, what decade were these Hanna Barbera cartoons most popular?
Around the middle of the 20th century they were pretty big for the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
