1----
2* BuryYourArt: Of the 100+ shows that Creator/HannaBarbera produced, plenty are considered just as bad as ''Yo Yogi!'', but this is the only one that Creator/{{Boomerang}}, which has shown almost '''every''' ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' series to date, outright '''''refuses''''' to re-run (at least in the United States -- it apparently showed up on one of the foreign Boomerang networks a couple of years back). At least until 2019, when the Boomerang streaming service finally included the show. And as of October 30th, 2023, it airs on the Boomerang channel proper. It's very telling that Creator/WarnerBros hates this show so much, that they banned the show from being canon to ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}''
3* CreatorBacklash: In an interview with ''USA Today'', William Hanna stated his disgust with the show, especially the redesigns.
4-->'''William Hanna:''' They screwed it up by redesigning [Yogi]. They made him look like a whoremonger. If you have something that works, don't screw it up!
5* DuelingShows: This series shared the same time slot as ''WesternAnimation/BobbysWorld'' did on Creator/FoxKids. ''Bobby'' won this duel, as it lasted seven seasons, whereas ''Yo Yogi!'' only lasted one. Not helping ''Yo Yogi'''s case was that it aired on the lowest-rated Saturday Morning cartoon block at the time, which NBC abandoned in September of 1992 thanks to the combined failures of this show, ''WesternAnimation/ProStars'', ''Space Cats'' and ''WesternAnimation/WishKid''.
6* FranchiseKiller: While ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooInArabianNights'' was the inglorious end for Yogi's Hanna-Barbera productions, this was the last TV series to star him and his friends--ending a fairly consistent streak of various shows and relegating the characters to one-off specials or guest appearances. It would not be until ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'' (first announced in ''2019'') that they'd get their own show again.
7* KidsMealToy: UsefulNotes/McDonalds released a set of four racing toys in Canada in 1992; Yogi on a jet ski, Boo-Boo on a skateboard, Cindy on a motor scooter, and Huckleberry Hound in a drag racer.
8* RoleReprise:
9** Creator/DonMessick returns as Boo Boo, Muttley, [[WesternAnimation/TheAtomAntShow Atom Ant]], [[WesternAnimation/PixieDixieAndMrJinks Pixie]], and Squiddly Diddly (the last being a reprise from ''WesternAnimation/YogisGang''). For whatever reason, he does not reprise Ranger Smith, who is instead voiced by Creator/GregBurson.
10** Creator/AllanMelvin reprises WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla for his appearance as "Magilla Ice".
11** Creator/JohnStephenson once again voices Doggie Daddy, which he had been doing since ''WesternAnimation/YogisArkLark'' in 1972.
