"He's Now, he's hip, he's smarter then the average bear- YOGI BEAR! Now 14 years old, Yogi no longer lives in Jellystone Park. It's the '90s and Yogi and his friends, BOO BOO, HUCKLEBERRY HOUND, SNAGGLEPUSS and CINDY BEAR, hang out at the modern day town square -- The fantastic, indoor-outdoor "echo-techino" JELLYSTONE MALL." —Yo Yogi! press release.

Yo Yogi! was a Saturday Morning Cartoon that ran on NBC from 1991 to 1992. It was Hanna-Barbera's answer to Saved by the Bell and Muppet Babies. It features Yogi Bear, Boo Boo Bear, Snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound and Cindy Bear as teenagers. Yogi and the gang would solve mysteries in "Jellystone Mall", under the watchful eye of Officer Smith (a younger Ranger Smith), while "Dickie" (a teenage Dick Dastardly) would try to foil them.
