In fact, from "Sherlock Holmes and The Secret Weapon" on, they're set in then-present-day England! I think only the series with Jeremy Brett is based on the original stories, but even they went off the rails a bit toward the end.Comicbookrehabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363501054869978524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339386808924606834.post-29885668485023394442011-12-02T07:18:20.792-08:002011-12-02T07:18:20.792-08:00Yogi is the Kevin Bacon of Hanna Barbera's fun...Yogi is the Kevin Bacon of Hanna Barbera's funny animals. He's also Joe Barbera's favorite, which is one reason why new cartoons with him were made often. Fred Flinstone was Bill Hanna's favorite, too.Comicbookrehabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363501054869978524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339386808924606834.post-7067406167129814752011-12-01T22:54:30.649-08:002011-12-01T22:54:30.649-08:00Don’t have much to say ‘bout modern versions of Ho...Don’t have much to say ‘bout modern versions of Holmes (Rathbone rules!) or The Doctor, but YOGI BEAR? Now, yer taklin’! I’ve written this elsewhere, but… <br /><br />Yogi Bear instituted what became a “tried-and-true” formula for Hanna- Barbera – that of a “lovable, wise guy animal” confounding a long-suffering human authority figure. This became such a recurring formula, you can actually play “Fill-In-The Blank” with it.<br /><br />Lovable, wise guy animal (Yogi Bear) confounds long-suffering (Ranger Smith).<br />Lovable, wise guy animal (Top Cat) confounds long-suffering (Officer Dibble).<br />Lovable, wise guy animal (Wally Gator) confounds long-suffering (Zoo Keeper Mr. Twiddle).<br />Lovable, wise guy animal (Magilla Gorilla) confounds long-suffering (Mr. Peebles).<br />Lovable, wise guy animal (Breezly Bruin) confounds long-suffering (Colonel Fuzzby).<br />Lovable, wise guy animal (Squiddly Diddly) confounds long-suffering (Chief Winchley).<br /><br />…And more! <br /><br />Get the picture? Somehow, though, we loved it (…or, at least bought it!) every time!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
