    Smarter than the average cartoon!

    I remember first catching this show when I was home alone, sick with the chicken pox. It was great entertainment for to pass the time - a funny and uplifting cartoon about smooth-talking Yogi Bear of Jellystone National Park, where he and his trusty friend Boo Boo tries to charm picnic goers to go after their picnic baskets, instead of feasting on the usual forest berries. Meanwhile, Park Ranger Smith tries to stop them.

    Plenty of adventures and misadventures to keep the show exciting, and lots of humor and jokes to keep you laughing. Yogi Bear proves he is smarter than the average bear, outwitting people left and right. I've always enjoyed the Ranger Smith character as well, as he tries effortlessly to keep order in the park while getting driven nuts by Yogi Bear. He asserts his authority when necessary, but at times could be seen as a friend toward the bears.

    Nothing over-the-top here - just a good old fashion and innocent cartoon but with plenty of adventures that is great for kids and family.

    Good

    The one that started it all. A legendary animated series that we all know and love. I wish it was still on the air because I would still be watching. But seriously, how was this show on so long? Anyway, it's not the thing to see if you're in the mood for something uplifting, or something with tons of thrills. But it is a sort of gem in its own right. Even if you are not a cartoon fan, you will likely be entertained by all this 1960s series has to offer. I suggest you enjoy the first seven or so episodes for what they are and let your mind play around with the opportunities there can be to make something interesting. Overall I can give it seven out of ten for its effort and writing.

    Hanna-Barbera classic

    Hanna-Barbera Productions perhaps first big hit, this remains good fun to this day.

    I do much, much prefer the Yogi Bear cartoons than the other characters that feature within it though.

    Pure Fun!

    I have been a fan of ALL Hanna-Barbera cartoons for a long long time now. They are all pure fun, very very funny and just totally wacky. What's not to like about them?

    Yogi Bear featured, well, Yogi Bear. He was joined by cute sidekick Boo-Boo (a nickname I gave to my baby brother many many years ago). Together, they caused havoc at Jellystone National Park. Much like Hanna-Barbera's other creation Top Cat caused havoc for Officer Dibble, Yogi and Boo-Boo caused havoc for Ranger John Smith.

    There was a lot of fun in all the episodes as Yogi and Boo-Boo did what normal bears do-nick food. Of course, in real life, a bear will not only nick food but nick your head as well. Thankfully, Yogi and Boo-Boo were a little more mild-mannered.

    All in all, a fantastically funny show. One of my favourite scenes which I still remember now was where Yogi shot an arrow through the window of a cafe and the arrow-in mid-flight-caught a cake, a turkey and something else. The arrow came out another window and hit a tree where Yogi was waiting to collect his food.

    See why I liked it?

    Great show!

    When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are like the hilarious Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!
