Hey There, It's Yogi Bear (1964)

Yogi Loves Cindy

[8/10 · 4 April 2006]

I don't care for the older Yogi cartoons, but several of the movies are much better at character development. The best of these is this movie.

It has Yogi finally deciding he loves Cindy Bear and then he learns she's been transferred to another zoo. He and Boo Boo immediately set out across the United States to rescue her. They run into bad guys who try to capture them for a sleazy circus.

My favorite scene is the love song Yogi sings to her when they finally meet. Very romantic. Most of the other songs in the movie are good, too--and fun to sing!

The other thing I liked about this movie was that the Ranger is shown as more than just a jerk rule-enforcer of the Park. He actually likes Yogi and tries to rescue him when he's in danger.

Probe: Computer Logic (1988) Season 1, Episode 1

Sweet and Intriguing

[8/10 · 4 April 2006]

I have most of the season on VHS. I love how the plots were so unexpected--I never knew how it was going to turn out until the end. The pilot was the best episode of all, partly because it's one of the few that has any romantic scenes between the two main characters.

Micky the secretary was both meek and bold, clever and clueless in all the right places to be the perfect Dr. Watson to Austin James' genius mystery solving.

I also liked how Parker Stevenson managed to make Austin boyishly likable even though the character had one of the trademarks of such genius-- arrogance that the rest of us didn't know what was going on.
