Notes[]
- With the exception of Yogi Bear's crossover TV series, which was used mainly for parody, this is the only time for a Yogi Bear TV series to use a laugh track, particularly Hanna-Barbera's custom track that was used for most of its 1970s output.
- Various villains appeared in Jellystone! Hilarious P. Prankster appeared in the episode "Jailcation" as an inmate. Captain Swipe, Lotta Litter, Mr. Smog and the Gossipy Witch are portrayed as sky pirates in the episode "Balloon Kids". Two other characters, Mr. Vandal and Dr. Bigot, were also going to appear but were cut for time.
