"Yogi's Gang" was a 30-minute animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired 16 half-hour episodes on ABC from September 8, 1973, to August 30, 1975. The show began as "Yogi's Ark Lark," a special TV Movie on "The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie" in 1972.

Plot

The series featured Yogi Bear and Boo Boo accompanied by Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Quick Draw McGraw & Baba Looey, Atom Ant, Wally Gator, Magilla Gorilla, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, Squiddly Diddly, Peter Potamus & So-So, Touché Turtle and Dum Dum, Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole, Hokey Wolf, Pixie and Dixie, Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-Long, Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har, The Hillbilly Bears and others as they travel around the world in a flying ark, searching for a paradise to call home, a place without pollution or crime.

During the course of the "Yogi's Gang" series, Yogi and his friends encounter a variety of villains such as Captain Swashbuckle Swipe, Smokestack Smog, Lotta Litter, the Envy Brothers, Mr. Hothead, Dr. Bigot (and his henchmen Professor Haggling and Professor Bickering), the Gossipy Witch of the West, J. Wantum Vandal, the Sheik of Selfishness, Commadore Phineas P. Fibber, I.M. Sloppy, Peter D. Cheater, Mr. Waste, Hilarious P. Prankster, and the Greedy Genie, who act as their friends, hosts and/or guests, but embody some of the most common human faults and vices.

15 original episodes were produced for broadcast on ABC, with the hour-long "Yogi's Ark Lark" thrown in as a split-in-half 2-parter. After a successful run on Saturday mornings, "Yogi's Gang" returned in 1977 as a segment on the syndicated weekday series "Fred Flintstone and Friends". In the late 1980s, repeats were shown on USA Cartoon Express and later resurfaced on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
