Legacy

Over the years, Snooper and Blabber have joined in many of their good friend Yogi Bear's groups, such as the Yogi Yahooeys in Laff-A-Lympics, and Yogi's Treasure Hunters in Yogi's Treasure Hunt. They also had various other appearances, such as in Yo, Yogi!; a number of Kellogg's commercials; and Snooper's cameo in The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound; but made very little recent appearances until they both appeared for the Jellystone! reboot, in which Snooper is a girl and both are portrayed as discount detectives.
