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."''

6	Creator/HannaBarbera's answer to ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Muppet Babies\|1984}}'', a SaturdayMorningCartoon that ran on Creator/{{NBC}} from 1991-92. It features WesternAnimation/YogiBear, Boo Boo Bear, WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}, WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound, and Cindy Bear as teenagers solving mysteries in "Jellystone Mall" under the watchful eye of Officer Smith (a younger Ranger Smith), while "Dickie" (a teenage [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick Dastardly]]) would try to foil them.

8	The show is drenched in the most early 90's aesthetics possible (it was essentially ''Yogi Bear'' for the Creator/{{MTV}} Generation), and it featured such timeless references as WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla being turned into [[Music/VanillaIce Magilla Ice]]. It was not commercially successful, and [[FranchiseKiller it killed off any chance of Yogi getting another series]] (at least until [[Film/YogiBear the 2010 film reboot]], and then ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'' after that in 2021, a full ''30 years'' since this show debuted) and is seen as the reason NBC stopped airing Saturday morning cartoons (the huge success of Peter Engel's live-action teen shows ''Saved By the Bell'' and ''Series/CaliforniaDreams'' and failure of animated stablemate ''WesternAnimation/ProStars'' didn't help).
9	----
10	!!This show provides examples of:
11	* ThreeDimensionalEpisode: Was very fond of having some scenes suddenly in 3D. A VHS release of the show actually came packaged with 3D glasses.
12	* AccidentalHero: Yogi keeps horning in on Cindy's time with Magilla, unknowingly mucking up Dickie and Roxy's first two attempts to kidnap Magilla in the process.
13	* AdultsAreUseless: But as an added bonus, so are most of the kids!
14	* AgeLift: In the original cartoons, Yogi and his friends were pretty much adults. Here, they are teenagers/kids.
15	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife
16	* AmbiguouslyGay: Snagglepuss, naturally...
17	* AnthropomorphicShift: Everyone wears at least one article of clothing, not including RingAroundTheCollar.
18	* ArtShift: Half the episodes are painted digitally, and the other half traditionally.
19	* AttentionWhore: Roxy Bear.
20	* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Boo Boo, Huck and Snagglepuss.
21	* BenevolentBoss: Doggie Daddy is pretty quick to congratulate the kids on a job well-done.
22	* BitchAlert: Again, Roxy.
23	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: ''Again'' Roxy, and Cindy DependingOnTheWriter.
24	* BritishBrevity: It got cancelled pretty quickly, though oddly for a US show, even its one season was only 13 episodes long.
25	* BroughtDownToNormal: Atom Ant in "Super Duper Snag" after losing his Atomic Helmet for most of the episode.
26	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Yogi's not the most conventional detective, but noticing details relating to food help him solve a few cases.
27	* CharacterCatchphrase: At one point, Snagglepuss' catch phrase was changed to "Heavens to Franchise/{{Rambo}}."
28	* CompanyCrossReferences: Dickie's bicycle's design resembles [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces the Mean Machine]] and his clothes resemble his uniform from ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''.
29	* CoolBoard: Boo Boo's skateboard, although it's not very cool.
30	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: All five of the kids to some extent, but Huck (as usual) fits both points to a tee.
31	* DistressedDude: Super Snooper, thanks to his press agent during one episode. Later, Dickie Dastardly in that same episode.
32	* EnemyMine: Huck and Dickie Dastardly team up to capture Wee Willie in "Mellow Fellow", naturally with Dickie intent on double crossing Huck for the reward afterwards.
33	* {{Expy}}: Lou and Murray, two elderly jailbirds who break out to try and retrieve stolen money they buried years ago, are essentially [[WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo Bogel and Weerd]] if they were still alive.
34	* ExtremeDoormat: Huckleberry, even more so than his adult form.
35	* {{Flanderization}}: Pretty much the whole cast, but mostly Cindy.
36	* FollowInMyFootsteps: Augie is expected to follow in his father's footsteps and run the mall one day. He does demonstrate a good deal of business acumen.
37	* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Cindy Bear.
38	* HalfDressedFunnyAnimal: Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and Roxy. Yogi wears a jacket and hi-tops with his signature outfit.
39	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Boo Boo and Yogi (as always), as well as Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss.
40	* HonestCorporateExecutive: Doggie Daddy is intent on financial success, but he's honest, hardworking, and kind to employees. Not surprising since he's the same adoring father he always is.
41	* KidsAreCruel: Dickie Dastardly.
42	* KidDetective: The premise of the show.
43	* LoopholeAbuse: Officially, the kids work at the mall's lost and found, but they use it as a front for their detective agency. They get involved in cases beyond the scope of a lost and found, but their reasoning is that a victim technically lost a given belonging. Officer Smith begrudgingly allows this so long as they stay out trouble as often as possible.
44	* MellowFellow: Huck as usual. For an extra bonus, one of his limelight episodes is even called the trope name.
45	* MythologyGag: In one episode Huck is tasked with retrieving an ape named "Wee Willie", the same character Huck tussled with (as an adult) in his very first cartoon.
46	* NotMeThisTime: When Snagglepuss lost a bust of William Shakespeare, he decided to make it seem it was stolen and accidentally got his friends to accuse Dick Dastardly.
47	* ObviouslyEvil: The majority of the villains in the show, including Dick Dastardly.
48	* OncePerEpisode: Yogi spun his hat as a signal for the viewer to put on special glasses for the 3-D scene.
49	* PhraseCatcher: Whenever Yogi finishes kicking ass or his friends come to the rescue, his friends exclaim, "[[TitleDrop Yo Yogi!]]"
50	* ProducePelting: With Magilla missing before a performance and the crowd about to riot, Snagglepuss attempts to fill in. He immediately gets pelted with eggs and a watermelon. Succeeding attempts lead to him getting pelted with shoes and fish instead.
51	* SelfDeprecation: Practically the show's redeeming aspect. The TotallyRadical gimmick is so unbefitting of classic Hanna-Barbera characters that a lot of the jokes are deliberately styled more like [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny "your dad trying and failing to be hip."]]
52	* SoProudOfYou: As ever, Doggie Daddy towards Augie on multiple occasions.
53	* SpinOffBabies: Averted with Augie Doggie, who appears in the show with adult Doggie Daddy.
54	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Downplayed with Cindy. She's the only female main character, but Roxy is a recurring character and there are always assorted female extras seen at the mall.
55	* TagalongKid: Secret Squirrel spends "Polly Want a Safe Cracker" following Yogi to learn about being a great detective. Yogi indulges a lot, though he expresses annoyance with the reliance on occasionally malfunctioning gadgets. The episode ends with Secret Squirrel starting to follow Boo Boo around instead.
56	* ThreeShorts: At 13 episodes, the show actually avoided this for the most part. Only 5 used a two shorts format, while the others were half-hour stories.
57	* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed example. Cindy is still the one girl, but far more temperamental and snarky than in most other interpretations.
58	* VagueAge: Boo Boo's age in the original series was pretty debatable, but this series only raises further questions.
59	* ValleyGirl: Cindy and Roxy.
60	* WellExcuseMePrincess: Cindy at times, likely to modernize her from her dainty lovesick persona from the original cartoons.
61	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Augie Doggie typically offers a level-headed outlook, more so than his father during a crisis. He even got the old man a good deal on an insurance policy.
62	* YoungerAndHipper: The purest example of this.
