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.

* ThreeDimensionalEpisode: Was very fond of having some scenes suddenly in 3D. A VHS release of the show actually came packaged with 3D glasses.

It was such a commercial failure, [[FranchiseKiller it killed off any chance of Yogi getting another series]] (at least until [[Film/YogiBear the 2010 film reboot]]) 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'' didn't help).

* BroughtDownToNormal: Atom Ant in "Super Duper Snag" after losing his Atomic Helmet for most of the episode.



* 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.



* 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.



* 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.



* SoProudOfYou: As ever, Doggie Daddy towards Augie on multiple occasions.



* TheSmurfettePrinciple

to:

* TheSmurfettePrinciple 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.
* 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.

Added DiffLines:

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Yogi's not the most conventional detective, but noticing details relating to food help him solve a few cases.


Added DiffLines:

* 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.


Added DiffLines:

* 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.

Creator/HannaBarbera's answer to ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' and ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'', a SaturdayMorningCartoon that ran on Creator/{{NBC}} from 1991-92. It features WesternAnimation/YogiBear, Boo Boo Bear, Snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound, 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.
