GtS would probably be decently in the middle (I enjoy it despite it's flaws).
I'd agree with your ranking. Godzilla: The Series is very much, for better or worse, a standard late 90's Saturday morning cartoon. It's hard to compare to any of the movies quality-wise, because its characters and plot-lines are very simplistic, in addition to being episodic. But it's fun, in spite of that!

Haven't seen the Hannah Barbara show, yet, unfortunately.

Edit: Actually, Godzilla: The Series could probably be safely compared to [i}Godzilla vs Gigan{/i], come to think of it. Simple, easy to understand plotline, colorful but simple characters defined by one or two traits, and it in itself is fairly "episodic" within the Showa series as a whole, not really connecting directly to either Godzilla vs Hedorah or Godzilla vs Megalon.

Since I just finished rewatching the entire damn series in order, I thought I should update this.

Films aren't ranked within tiers, just listed chronologically. Biggest change on this rewatch is that I've developed newfound appreciation for Ghidorah and RoG. The top 12 films (upper 2 tiers) represent the series at its best. I think "flawed but fun" can be applied to most Godzilla films, even some of those in the "mediocre" and "bad" tiers. Those films just have deeper flaws than those in the third row.
