I get to babysit my grandchildren on my days off from work. If it weren't for them, I would never have known this show existed. It is shown twice-a-day on the Noggin preschool network. This is a charming and enjoyable series about a family of bears. Little Bear learns right and wrong from very understanding and patient parents and grandparents. He has a number of animal friends and one human girl friend who share his adventures. A healthy dose of fantasy is thrown in for good measure. The only hard thing to swallow about the whole show is the parents and grandparents wearing clothes including shoes. Of course, this show is for preschoolers not grandparents but you'll have a good time watching it anyway.

I saw this on a Los Angeles TV station one weeknight back in the mid-to-late 70`s. I have never seen it listed anywhere since and I always wondered why. Is it a lost film? Maybe there is some legal snafu concerning the rights. It has an unknown cast and a $1.98 budget. Can`t imagine what kind of legal problems it could generate. Seems like the perfect film for Alpha DVD to release. The thing that sticks in my memory was how the maniac would drive around in a station wagon spouting maniacal laughter & insane dialogue. It was always in long shot and you heard him talking over the scene. These scenes were probably recorded without sound and everything was added later. Makes me laugh to this day. I wish it would come out on DVD. I`d order a copy thru Creepy Classics as soon as it was listed.
