O Show do Zé Colméia

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!

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.

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.

Grade A

Snagglepuss is a true icon not just among Hanna Barbera characters, but cartoon characters in general. Everything from his immortal catchphrases and unmistakable voice is unforgettable. The animated Snagglepuss shorts are very entertaining and represent in my humblest of opinion Hanna Barbera's best work ( Alongside The Yogi Bear Show). Recommended to kids and adults alike, watch a Snagglepuss short whenever you get the opportunity!

Exit Stage Left!

AFTER STARTING OUT as a second feature on the HUCKLEBERRY HOUND Show, success and high popularity with the public led to his own half hour show three short years later. It was THE YOGI BEAR Show that joined in a long parade of successes from Hanna-Barbera Productions.

BEING ANOTHER EXAMPLE of and prime exponent of the art of "Limited Animation" that was popularized by the economics of necessity on television, the dialog, verbal gags, music and sound effects were even more important than in theatrical animated shorts. That they were so constituted and dependent on the sound tract, they were given a special sort of nickname. They were oft referred to as "Illustrated Radio."

IN MUCH THE same manner of so many other of Hanna-Barbera's other productions, the characters have voices, appearance and behaviour are copied from real persons, well known from show biz, sports world or politics.*

IN THE CASE of Yogi Bear, it is a case of double copying. This special classification comes from his name being derived from NY Yankee's all time All Star Catcher, Yogi Berra and his voice and expressions' being derived from Art Carney's characterization of Ed Norton on Jackie Gleason's Classic series, THE HONEYMOONERS.

AFTER SOME EARLY experimentation with various settings and circumstances, the production team found a winning formula. Adding Yogi's diminutive sidekick & stooge, Boo Boo and his perennial antagonist, Ranger Smith of Jellystone Park.

IT WAS DEFINITELY a winning combo and has become ingrained into the very collective psyche and Pop Culture of America.

HOW ELSE COULD we have the nationally known chain of camp sites which bear the name of "Yogi Bear's JELLYSTONE PARK?"

NOTE: * Among other Hanna-Barbera's other characters with voices and personalities derived from real persons are: Huckleberry Hound (Andy Griffith), Fred Flintstone(Jackie Gleason), Snagglepuss(Bert Lahr), Hokey Wolf(Phil Silvers), George Jetson(George O'Hanlon), Jabberjaw(Curly Howard) and many others.
