Plot [edit]

Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo Bear, Ranger Smith, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, Snagglepuss, and Snooper and Blabber would go on treasure hunts around the world, as assigned by Top Cat. They traveled aboard a ship called the SS Jelly Roger (a ship similar to but different from the ark from Yogi's Gang). Dick Dastardly and Muttley, in their ship the SS Dirty Tricks, would try to beat them to the treasure by engaging in their usual dirty tricks.

History and overview [edit]

The theme song for the series "It's Fun! Fun! Fun! Funtastic!" was sung and performed by Sha-Na-Na's Jon Bauman and The Funtastic Singers who sang the chorus. It was also the official theme for The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera block. The original title for the series was "The Funtastic Treasure Hunt" but was changed to "Yogi's Treasure Hunt" since Yogi's the star. The show ran from 1985 to 1987 as the longest series in The Funtastic World's history. This was the last Hanna-Barbera and Yogi Bear series to star the voice of Daws Butler as he would die in 1988. Greg Burson would take over voice duties of Yogi for more new shows beginning with The New Yogi Bear Show.
