Maybe you're right.<br />AngMc, I can hear Bill Hanna sputtering about all the drawing your ending would take. Tony Benedict told me Alex Lovy had to modify his first storyboards to make the action more limited to be on budget. But you raise an interesting point about whether Yogi is sincere within his con job. I never thought about that; I took it at face value. But it's clear over the course of the series that the two really do like each other deep down, though the Ranger gets exasperated on a professional level because his authority is ignored or thwarted.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-21703737021276434152013-05-12T16:58:13.150-07:002013-05-12T16:58:13.150-07:00Angmc...besides Boo-boo's slightly angry "...Angmc...besides Boo-boo's slightly angry "The ranger is my friend" to Yogi, the big bear then adds to Boo Boo that the ranger is "everybody's friend" and the ending and other episodes verify it.

I suppose there is a part of Smith that wishes he was like Yogi, and a part of Yogi that wishes he was like Smith.<br /><br />Don Messick does some great work here. When "Whitey" says "He is?" to Yogi's remark about the Ranger, you can hear his Smith voice creeping out beside his disguised one. And then there is Boo Boo's "The Ranger is my friend!" It's Boo Boo's voice, but there is an anger to it.<br /><br />"Could I be wrong about Yogi?" Smith thinks to himself. Hmmm. Are you wrong that Yogi is a thief and a con? Nope. Are you wrong that Yogi doesn't care or respect you? Probably.<br /><br />Then again, I'm more in the 'Ranger Smith really does like Yogi' camp rather then the 'Ranger Smith thinks Yogi is the Antichrist' camp, so perhaps I'm looking in too much.<br /><br />I could think of a different ending. Yogi actually believes Whitey did eat the Ranger and confronts the "Bear" with revenge (in the kid friendly Hanna-Barbera way). Ranger Smith finds out his head piece is stuck and can't get it off. Running away from a PO'd Yogi and Boo Boo, he runs to the Ranger Station only to see his colleagues got informed by Yogi and Boo Boo about "Whitey's" actions and start shooting at him. And then the Bears confront "Whitey" again, commenting about what a fine guy the Ranger is while intending violence for the Bear that done him in. Eventually, after much slapstick, the mask comes off, and Yogi and Boo Boo bear-hug the bedraggled & beaten Smith. The Bears are ecstatic the Ranger is alive and well, while Smith's emotions are mixed between his injuries and his touched feelings about Yogi's regard for him.angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.com
