Huckleberry Hound Interstitials #2

  • 8 years ago
In 1985, USA Network added YOGI BEAR to its CARTOON EXPRESS lineup. But the series actually consisted of cartoons from both the YOGI BEAR and HUCKLEBERRY HOUND shows (mostly the latter). Early in the run, theyd throw in a few interstitials (also known as bumpers) from the original HUCKLEBERRY HOUND show in between the cartoons. USA promoted the show under the YOGI BEAR title and most shows began with the original YOGI BEAR show opening (freeze-framed towards the end in an attempt to remove the Kelloggs logo, although the name is still visible if you look closely) and ended with the HUCKLEBERRY HOUND closing. Presented here are the YOGI BEAR show opening and two of the HUCKLEBERRY HOUND interstitials (Star-Gazing Observatory and North Pole) as seen on CARTOON EXPRESS in the 1980s. Hokey Wolf originally appeared in both segments but was edited out for these showings. (Star-Gazing Observatory was a top of the show segment, joined in progress here after the Kelloggs rooster disappears behind the door.) This is followed with another (non-USA) end of show segment with the cast (Elevator) and then rounding things out is the full-length North Pole (unfortunately this last one is silent).
