Episode synopsis
"Bear Exchange" is an episode from The New Yogi Bear Show (1988). In this episode, Yogi Bear is temporarily swapped with a bear from another national park as part of an animal exchange program. While the new bear arrives at Jellystone and surprises Ranger Smith with his completely different personality, Yogi finds himself in an unfamiliar environment with new rules and challenges. Of course, Yogi being Yogi, he immediately starts looking for ways to bend the rules in his favor—especially when it comes to getting food. Meanwhile, Boo Boo struggles to adjust to the visiting bear, who may be more well-behaved than Yogi… or possibly even worse!
