A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith is a stand-alone animated television special. Made by The Ren & Stimpy Show creator John Kricfalusi and his company Spümcø, it first aired 24 September 1999 on Cartoon Network, along with Boo Boo Runs Wild, a similar Yogi Bear-themed stand alone special.
It is a parody of the popular Hanna-Barbera cartoon series The Yogi Bear Show which revolves around Ranger Smith.
Since its original debut in 1999, A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith has aired on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim.
This marked the last Yogi Bear production in which Greg Burson voiced Yogi, as he was arrested five years after its release and subsequently died in 2008. The special is (jokingly) dedicated to William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, despite the two of them still being alive at that time.
