Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey is a series of animated segments as part of The Peter Potamus Show, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The series aired in syndication until ABC attained the series. It ran from 1964 to 1966, airing 23 episodes that spanned two seasons.
The series follows a trio of three bumbling, swashbuckling dogs named Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey, who serve as "royal guards" and protectors to their King, although, more often than not, they cause more trouble for the King than actually protecting him.
The entire series has been released on DVD.
