It appears Yogi remained on the Huck show for a couple of months after his own show began.<br />For example, WGN's TV listings for the Huck show for the week of Feb. 27, 1961 reveal 'Lullabye-Bye Bear' was broadcast. So he was still on the Huck show when he had his own. Hokey, evidently, wasn't ready to go to air.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-59786941436815206752010-09-06T05:56:50.652-07:002010-09-06T05:56:50.652-07:00Wouldn't it even be logical that as Yogi Bear ...Wouldn't it even be logical that as Yogi Bear spun off into his own show at the height of his popularity that his cartoons would still play for a while on the Huckleberry Hound show?

And the result is many peoples will believe in anything without really check if it's true or not.<br /><br />About Hokey, i notice that the Capitol Records from the 1960's Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and Yogi Bear shows used the same Hoyt Curtin's music cues from The Flintstones, but are far less interesting to watch. It's why i feel Wally Gator, Touche Turtle and any of this cartoons era boring and pity. Sure the Hanna-Barbera can be rich with this shows but that's not saved their reputation for make the animations much limited again.Martin Juneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193943985570930659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-38394296844552024942009-09-04T07:30:41.228-07:002009-09-04T07:30:41.228-07:00Anon, one of the other problems was the limited an...Anon, one of the other problems was the limited animation got even <i>more</i> limited. I watched a Hokey the other day that supposedly had an eye-widening take. The whites barely expanded and Hokey didn't even stiffen. Ho hum. It wouldn't have taken additional drawings to turn it into a real take; just more imaginative artwork.<br /><br />The only consolation is the theatricals, generally, were going down hill at about the same rate, too; there's really no excuse for a lot of the Lantz and Warners cartoons of the 60s.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-33169850741534572802009-09-03T07:57:53.063-07:002009-09-03T07:57:53.063-07:00Then "The Banana Splits",'Scooby&quo...Then "The Banana Splits",'Scooby","Cattanooga Cats [which Anonymous mentioned already!]","Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show", brought the most dumbed down version of bubblegum music to thje series, which would be till the 80s Smurfs brought the lowest level, the cute greeting doll toys.[And the superhero/robot cartoons that polluted the 70s/80s were no better..]Pokeyhttp://sjcarrasblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-90095232286027918422009-09-02T11:27:30.324-07:002009-09-02T11:27:30.324-07:00True Yowp.

The two could really play off each other.He didn't seem to do that with Hokey. To me, Hokey Wolf would be the beginning of that stream of H-B cartoons circa 1962-72, ie Wally Gator, Loopy De Loop, Peter Potamus, Hillbilly Bears, The Romans Holidays, Funky Phantom( Snapplepuss voice recycled), Chattanoogs Cats,etc, that were pleasant, made for great childhood memories, made tons of cash for H-B, but like you said, far less interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-81535184657895523272009-09-02T02:05:01.097-07:002009-09-02T02:05:01.097-07:00Anon, the problem with Hokey .. and just about all...Anon, the problem with Hokey .. and just about all the HB shorts about this time.. starts with what Joe Barbera said in the article .. they weren't relying on animation and letting stories (and by extension the characters in them) carry the cartoons.<br /><br />The stories got to be the same. Put the characters in a fairy-tale spoof. Let the characters find a magic lamp. Let the characters get tied up with a circus (and drag out Hoyt Curtin's version of 'Man on the Flying Trapeze.'). Let the characters join the military by accident. Let a character get mistaken for some bad guy. Add to that the animation looked the same, the music was the same ('Meet the Flintstones' playing in the background of Hokey Wolf?!), the pace was the same, the dialogue didn't feature Daws playing around with words, and you're not left with an awful lot. The cartoons are pleasant but not terribly funny.<br /><br />As for characters, Hokey and Ding-a-ling share some traits with Yogi and Boo Boo, but are far less interesting.<br /><br />Considering the Hanna-Barbera bank account was still growing, there was no need to fix what wasn't broke.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-54523761144125791442009-09-01T20:19:06.616-07:002009-09-01T20:19:06.616-07:00Martin, I have no video of Hokey.

And the problem is, often, there's no way to tell the difference.<br /><br />I have no idea where the information originally came from. Was it a wild guess? Was it from the Hanna-Barbera archives? Who knows.<br /><br />All I know is, in this case, a search of contemporary sources shows the information on the web is not only wrong, it's not even close. And much like the mis-information about Julie Bennett's birthday, it gets copied by site after site after site after site because mis-information is the only information.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-66173196857323283272009-09-01T18:09:04.775-07:002009-09-01T18:09:04.775-07:00I like when you mentionned Wikipedia because it tu...I like when you mentionned Wikipedia because it turns to false informations and it's still dangerous for the press freedom to make fake informations by Internet.

The Wolf in the short with Yogi and the three Bears, talent scouts or agents on The Flintstones,etc.I do love the Huckleberry Hound cartoon that played the night of Hokey Wolf's debut.
