The New Yogi Bear Show (also known as Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear Show) is an American animated sitcom, and the sixth incarnation of the Yogi Bear franchise, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that aired in syndication from September 12 to November 11, 1988. This series serves as the final season and a revival to the 1961 series, also serving as a continuation/sequel to the 1964 theatrical film adaptation.

Overview
It contains forty-five new episodes combined with reruns of the 1961 series. Pared down from some of the other versions (the all-star cartoons with Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and others), this series featured only Yogi, Boo-Boo, Cindy and Ranger Smith, with episodes set in Jellystone Park.
The series takes place two years after the events of Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, all about Yogi, Boo-Boo, and Cindy's adventures in Jellystone Park, doing their "good bear" deeds under the watchful eye of the newly-promoted Chief Ranger Smith of Jellystone Park, after the death of the Park Commissioner one year ago.
New characters were introduced for the series such as Ranger Roubideux (Ranger Smith's assistant who is chubby and tiny-sized), Ninja Raccoon (a Japanese raccoon cub who wears a kimono), and Yogi's father.
The series marked the debut of Greg Burson as the voice of Yogi following Daws Butler's death on May 18, 1988, four months prior to the series' debut.
