I enjoy some of those HB cartoons like Hong Kong Phooey, The Impossibles, The Herculoids, and Wacky Races. 
Here are some of my favorites of the 1970's:
1. Scooby-Doo--one of the best characters of all-time!!!
2. Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels--not-too-bad Scooby clone. The girls were hot!
3. Funky Phantom--another great Scooby clone. I liked how Muddsy sounded like Snagglepuss.:anime:
4. Laff-a-Lympics--nice animated version of Wide World of Sports.
5. Oddball Couple--very few remember this. It was Depatie-Freleng's spoof of Felix Unger & Oscar Madison. It was pretty good, IIRC.
6. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kids--their songs were terrific.
7. Tom & Jerry '75--it was pretty good for a non-violent version, IMO.
8. Flash Gordon--a fantastic late-70's Filmation cartoon! Ming's daughter, Aura, makes me drool!!!:nurse: So does Dale Arden in that gorgeous 2-piece dress!!!:nurse:
9. Dastardly & Muttley--it was always fun seeing them knock each other silly!
10. Mission: Magic--pretty good Filmation show starring Rick Springfield.
11. Speed Buggy--very enjoyable show. I loved Debbie!:anime:

(note I'm only counting American stuff)
For me, Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, and Coonskin were three good films by Ralph Bakshi, for various reasons. None of them are perfect, but I like how Bakshi tried to keep the cartoony nature alive in part of the '70s and was willing to experiment as well.
Disney's Robin Hood may not have been the best Disney film ever, but it was enjoyable enough.
Some of the Pink Panther shorts were OK.
And while a compilation film mostly composed of old footage, The Great American Chase (aka The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie) was a good watch if you're a Looney Tunes fan. Though the Road Runner montage at the end does tend to overstay its welcome.
That's... really all I can think of.

Wait Till Your Father Gets Home has to be one of the groundbreaking 70s cartoons for both tone and subject matter.
Star Trek brought back a great series, and did a good job a creating new material.
Scooby Doo has to get some recognition for the impact it had on the culture and on animation. Same can be said for Superfriends.
Personally, I have to add Jana of the Jungle. Haven't seen it in ages, so maybe it didn't age well, but it was very memorable to me, plus one on the first action cartoons I remember with a female lead.
As for the person that mentioned Clue Club, that was always my favorite of the Scooby clones Long live Woofer and Wimper!
