American animated television series

Yo Yogi! is an American animated television series and the seventh entry in the Yogi Bear franchise produced by Hanna Barbera that aired from September 14 to December 7, 1991, on NBC for 13 episodes.

Taking place in Jellystone Town, the show features Yogi Bear and other popular Hanna Barbera characters, depicted as teenage crime fighters. The team includes Yogi's friends Boo Boo Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and Yogi's girlfriend Cindy Bear. The gang hang out at Jellystone Mall owned by "Diamond" Doggie Daddy, with Augie Doggie depicted as his heir to the mall business. Yogi and the gang work at an agency called L. A. F. (short for Lost and Found), where they act as detectives trying to solve mysteries under the supervision of the mall's security guard Officer Smith. Dickie Dastardly and his sidekick Muttley would cause trouble for Yogi and his gang. The show also introduced a teenage bear named Roxey Bear who was Cindy's rival and Yogi's competitor, as well as news reporter Chuck Toupée. The characters were never seen at home or school. Some of Yogi's other pals like Secret Squirrel, Hardy Har Har, and Squiddly Diddly were also featured as young teens. Other Hanna Barbera characters are still in adult form: Hokey Wolf is the Mayor of Jellystone Town and Ding A Ling Wolf is his photographer, Loopy De Loop works at the Jellystone Mall's Picnic Basket Food Court, Atom Ant served as Jellystone Town's superhero, Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey were wild west themed entertainers, Pixie and Dixie live in Mr. Jinks cheese store, Lippy the Lion owns "The Precious Jams and Gems Store", Peter Potamus and So So ran a plant shop called "Peter Potamus' Plant Palace", Snooper is a crime solving celebrity while Blabber ran the "Crooks 'n' Books" store, Magilla Gorilla appeared as a teen idol in "Jellystone Jam" as Magilla Ice (a takeoff of Vanilla Ice), and Mr. Peebles owns his pet store. Also, Granny Sweet made an appearance in the episode "Super Duper Snag" and "Barely Working".

Yo Yogi! featured episodes, or parts of episodes, in 3D, with Kellogg's Rice Krispies offering 3D glasses. Generally, the 3D scenes were chase scenes of the variety made famous by Hanna Barbera in the Scooby Doo series. At the beginning of these 3D sequences, Yogi would spin his hat atop his head, as a cue to viewers to don their 3D glasses. On March 6, 1992, in response to the success of its Saturday morning live action teen sitcom Saved by the Bell, NBC cancelled its entire Saturday morning block of cartoons (including Yo Yogi!) and replaced the cartoons with a new block of live action shows targeting teenagers in addition to a Saturday edition of The Today Show. Yo Yogi! last aired in syndication as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera, before resurfacing on cable network Boomerang in October 2023. The first few episodes used digital ink and paint, while the next few episodes used cel animation. Modern voice actors voiced the voices of certain characters not only because some of them are teenagers, but due to the deaths of Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, and Paul Frees before this series began.

In late 1991, a VHS release of the show came with 3D glasses. As of 2018, there are no plans for a complete series set release from either Warner Home Video or Warner Archive. However, it is available on iTunes as part of the Hanna Barbera Diamond Collection. The complete series was formerly available as part of the Boomerang streaming service.
