The New Yogi Bear Show (also known as Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear Show) is a fun American animated TV series from Hanna-Barbera Productions. It first aired in 1988, showing new adventures of Yogi Bear and his friends. The show had 45 brand-new episodes, and it also included reruns of the original 1961 Yogi Bear Show. In this series, Yogi, Boo-Boo, Cindy, and Ranger Smith have all their adventures inside their home, Jellystone Park.

This show introduced some new faces to Jellystone Park! You might remember Ranger Roubideux, who is Ranger Smith's small and chubby assistant. There was also Ninja Raccoon, a Japanese raccoon cub who wore a kimono, and even Yogi's own mother! This series was also special because it was the first time Greg Burson voiced Yogi Bear, taking over from the original voice actor, Daws Butler.
