Episode synopsis
"Bearly Sick" is an episode from The New Yogi Bear Show (1988). In this episode, Yogi Bear fakes being sick to avoid Ranger Smith’s new park rules and, more importantly, to get extra treats and attention from Boo Boo. Boo Boo, being the caring friend he is, takes Yogi’s “illness” seriously and waits on him hand and foot. However, Yogi’s act goes too far when Ranger Smith calls in a real doctor—or worse, decides to send Yogi to an animal hospital! Now, Yogi has to figure out a way to prove he’s "miraculously cured" before things spiral out of control.
