HBTV

HBTV (Hanna-Barbera Television) is a series of animated music videos created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1985–1986 featuring clips from various Hanna-Barbera cartoon shows. The animated videos were similar to Walt Disney Productions' D-TV and Nickelodeon's sister network MTV and were originally broadcast as interstitials between segments of the syndicated programming block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera.

Each episode of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera during the 1985–86 season featured HBTV segments which included hits like "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Stayin' Alive" by the The Bee Gees, "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr., "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell and many others.
