Development

In the first season of The Huckleberry Hound Show, there were other, unnamed park rangers who appeared; with each looking different from the last. From the second season onward, a character formally by the name of "Ranger Smith" came to be in the episode "Lullabye-Bye Bear." The short (animated by George Nicholas) featured Smith in a design closely resembling his final look; but wore a beige suit instead of a green one.[4]

Various original Yogi episodes have the ranger wearing an all-familiar, green color scheme, but his character design strangely varied from various animators working on the segments. When Ranger Smith became a main character in The Yogi Bear Show, the design stuck closer to his model sheet at the time the show was being made,[5] especially in the last few episodes.
