First of all, having someone do an Art Carney-sequel voiceover does not make it Yogi Bear. That's the only slight similarity to the original. Cindi Bear is the only one even resembling the original character, but the pizza-shaped, 1990s caricature, crudely-drawn abominations shown here are NOT Yogi Bear nor Boo Boo.
We previewed 2 episodes (fighting hard to get through the second and 3/4 of the first) to see if it was time to introduce our 5 and 7 year olds to some of our childhood memories...Nope! While not dirty or offensive, smashing people in the face and calling other characters 'names' was enough to decide this isn't for our youngsters. The lack of humor and crudeness showed it wasn't for us adult either. And we're not prudes, I watch South Park, The Simpsons and Family Guy regularly. This just misses.
A shame, because reading the list of ancillary characters scheduled to appear like Captain Caveman, Jabberjaw, and Huckleberry Hound got us excited. We wanted to love it for ourselves and our kids...The actual content turned us off.
