The show is drenched in the most early 90's aesthetics possible, 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).

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The theme song is very similar to "Unskinny Bop" by Music/{{Poison}} which was a chart hit just a year before the show premiered.

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, 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 Dick Dastardly) would try to foil them.

Widely panned for effectively being the real-life version of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Poochie the Dog]] - which is to say, an embarrassing attempt at [[WereStillRelevantDammit being hip and trendy]] that just winds up making everyone involved look ''more'' out of touch and hopeless. The show is drenched in the most early 90's aesthetics possible, and it featured such timeless references as Magilla Gorilla being turned into [[Music/VanillaIce Magilla Ice]]. It's often used as one of the prime examples of how an attempt to reboot something for modern times can wind up taking something that was timeless and turn into a dated punchline.

** Averted with the characters themselves, who retained their original catchphrases and mannerisms, but played '''deadly''' straight cosmetically.
** Averted on another occasion, where Huck finds a banjo and plays his classic theme. The others tell him to do an update, but he continues to play on as he prefers.
