The Herculoids could take place in a post-apocalyptic future, but it certainly doesn't take place on Earth. The original show called their planet Amzot and the Space Stars episodes changed the name to Quasar.
If I recall things correctly, Hanna-Barbara did some small scale crossover with their late 60s sci-fi and adventure type shows; off the top of my head Space Ghost, the Herculoids, and Mightor were involved -- I don't recall who else was part of it.
I think WB has an excellent foundation to build on with the Hanna-Barbera sci-fi and adventure/hero shows into a shared universe. Space Ghost, the Herculoids, the Galaxy Trio, and Teen Force could all fit well together as outer space themed shows and if you shift Mighty Mightor to taking place on another planet it works well too. Even the super hero type shows/characters which clearly take place on Earth (Birdman, Young Samson and Goliath, and even Blue Falcon) could work on the bigger picture as they share similar tone except for comedic elements of Blue Falcon (but those can be retained without much of a stretch).
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
