Joseph Barbera, of the Hanna-Barbera animation team famous for cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, and The Jetsons died yesterday at the age of 95.

I watched a half hour of Yogi Bear, another Hanna-Barbera cartoon, this evening via Comcast's On Demand package. It reminded me of how at this time of year, NYC schools were closed for the holidays, so it was possible to watch cartoons and syndicated reruns instead of being in school.
