Heh. Makes all the people saying the new movie "ruined" Yogi Bear seem a lot funnier; looks to me like Hanna-Barbera did a pretty good job of ruining him on their own long before that.

Good lord, despite being born in the nineties I actually recognized and watched nearly all the old cartoons listed during that time.
I kind of wished you mention some of the characters reappearing in the early Adult Swim. I loved seeing mature versions of classic HB characters in Harvey Birdman.

My mom's nickname as a kid was Snagglepuss. Also, I LOVE seeing these epic Hanna-Barbera crossovers! This is kind of why I'm hoping to see Space Ghost in the console version of Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion.
BTW, I remember Yogi's Treasure Hunt rather fondly, actually.

Hannana barbara practically invented the word spin off and knock off by creating dopplegangers of there popular shows. Besides yogi bear just look at scooby doo and all the spin offs movie specials and knock offs that were made just for him. Yogi bear had ran out of steam during the 90s but early 90s cartoon network obviously showed a appreciation for scooby doo if anything else was ever clear.
Personally I love this "X IS WEIRD" shit. Gives me lots of interesting stuff to talk about at parties. Also, I think I saw every one of those Yogi movies when I was a kid, and may still have a VHS of the "Yogi's Ark" one. Wonder if I can eBay it...
Oh great, I didn't know those things were obscure yet. Now I feel old.
Or I just had the benefit of a slightly retro childhood...yes, let's go with that.

There really was nothing "mature" about the HB characters in Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, as evidenced by his boss the one eyed blond guy, rationing out toilet paper by everyone only getting one single ply square per loo visit and advising Harvey that if he needs extra toilet paper to just use both sides of the square. Yeah, mature. I've got all seasons on DVD. Venture Bros too.
MovieBob, you should really do an episode on some of the stranger HB characters, like the Herculoids. And I'd love to see one on Jonny Quest. Gods, I can't tell you how great those old episodes were. And yes, it was brought back in the 90's with the characters aged up a bit and Race Bannon given a daughter named Jessie (and Haji's fakir/mystic powers toned down), but I still remember the show fondly.
My parents actually had a copy of "Yogi's Great Escape" on VHS when I was a little kid. That and another Yogi Movie we had once upon a time as well. All I can remember about it was a scene where Yogi and Boo-Boo inhale "Helium-Ah mum mum mum gas". That's exactly as I remember them saying it.
OT: Yogi was at least considerably funnier than Flintstones, and the rest of the Hanna Barbara cartoons were alright, but I didn't have Cartoon Network as a kid, so it was either old tapes of Tex Avery's Droopy or Nickelodeon, and Rugrats didn't come on until later, so, yup. I never really watched the other H/B cartoon characters. My mainstays were Yogi, Droopy and Tom and Jerry.
Dammit, Bob, why do you make me think about my childhood? The 90s sucked for you, but that was my existence. the 00s suck now. Vicious cycle, I guess.

Casper and the Angels (along with He-Man) were the first vhs videos I ever got. I think they may have been the first videos my parents ever bought and they got them from Woolworths.
Kids today don't know what they're missing.

I was a kid in the 90s and I don't remember Yo Yogi's debut - this rather makes me happy.
Dude, did you see how totally radical Yo Yogi looked? That was XTREME TO THE MAX!!!
And Bob, just do whatever you like. "fans" are dumb and will complain about whatever they can, even if it doesn't make sense.
Look at the Zelda "Fans":
Ocarina of Time
THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER CREATED!!!
Majora's Mask
This wasn't as good as Ocarina. This was weird. We don't like it. Give us more Ocarina.
Wind Waker
This game is stupid. Why is Link a cartoon? We don't like it. Give us more Ocarina.
Twilight Princess
This game was a lot like Ocarina. Why is Link a dog? We don't like it. Give us more Ocarina.
Ocarina of Time 3D
What, Ocarina of Time again? We already played Master Quest. We don't like it. Give us more Ocarina.
Idea: You should make a video on the Zelda series, just to bait the rabid Zelda fanboys >=D
