IMO when I look back at animation in the '70s, it represented the lowest common denominator, with limited animation techniques peaking and see it as the yin of animation since it developed. Theatrical shorts died out early in the decade, there weren't too many feature animated features, and this was before the daily syndication of cartoons that would take off in the '80s. The '70s seemingly not only lacked the quantity, but also the quality. That said, some shows had some really good writing, however I feel there were way too many Scooby-Doo clones. I would extend Scooby-Doo up to 1986 to count the New Scooby Doo-Movies and The Scooby-Doo Show, and the infamous "Scrappy" era, though the final "classic" Scooby season, the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, was good. Josie and the Pussycats also continued until 1974 when it moved to Outer Space. The '70s also had lots of decent animated specials, and most of the memorable Peanuts specials came out in the '70s.

Here are some others:

Pink Panther (1969-1979)
Hot Wheels (1969-71), its cancellation led to a ban of merchandise-driven cartoons until the '80s
Sky Hawks (1969-71)
Hardy Boys (1969-71)
Motor Mouse (1970-71)
Woody Woodpecker (1970-1972, 1976), contains a mix of classic theatrical shorts with some new footage) Not the first TV cartoon, though as one lasted for one season in 1957-58)
Sabrina and the Groovy Goolies/Teenage Witch (1970-74)
Tom Foolery (1970-71)
Will The Real Jerry Lewis Please Stand Up! (1970-72)
Dr. Doolittle (1970-72)

The New Schmoo (1979-80)
Spiderwoman (1979-80)
The Super Globetrotters (1979)

As it turns out, you'll find that the very beginning of the decade tended to have the best quality, with a gradual decline in both quality and quanity, reaching a minimum around 1976 when live action was pretty much at its peak, and a slow improvement at the end of the decade.
