The Berenstain Bears

This version is better than the original show because its just so much warmer and the colors and animation are pleasant to look at.

Father is funny, reliable and a cool father.

Brother acts cool. He can be kind of a sissy.

Sister is sensitive and she has a nice voice.

Mama is less scary in this version. However, she is a worry wart in some episodes.

Too Tall is a sissy bully. Sometimes he picks on brother other times he hangs with brother

There is no villain in this version. The Show is less about the town and more about The family learning lessons in a more slow and hand held way compared to the original.

Theme song isn't bad and its not iconic either. Its still a fine song to jam to when know one is looking.

Verdict: Enjoyable. Great colours and great episodes.

This is a very important family show because in recent years so many shows are just a wasteland of pointless silly entertainment with no real point other than a very thin tacked on message tacked on in a klutzy. This show has real morals and lessons taught in an entertaining and non high handed way. Kids like the show but also learn from it and that I like. More shows should be like this.

The Berenstain Bears were great books for kid who were learning to read and then the made a nice little cartoon for kids. I have most of the episodes on tape. I bought them at the store about ten years ago and even back then the quality wasn't very good and it was a little hard to understand what they were saying, but the kids still loved them. Some people say that the shows are too addicting and that kids will want to watch TV instead of reading the books, but its nice to get a break every once in awhile. The Berenstien Bears came back in 2003, but it didn't last as long. Good thing PBS shows the reruns. Both shows are great and its a good way to teach little kids.

I watch this show all the time and even even i was little. I want this show to get a reboot! My favorite episode in the series is the talent show. I also own the full series on DVD which means i get to watch all the episodes.

This show is not boring at all. It is sensibly written to appeal to younger children (preschool and kindergarten age) and teach them values at the same time. In this age of redundant stupidity in entertainment, parents need a show like this one to help illustrate how fair life should be, and give a firm footing to children, not overwhelm them with glitz, glam and gloss. By keeping plots simple and allowing children to follow along at their level, this show simply teaches children how to be fair, consider other's feelings and have good sportsmanship. These are core values which are not being taught to children at daycare dumps or underfunded public schools. If a parent expects more out of this show for themselves, they should consider re-viewing and actually listening to the plot. The simple storytelling is charming and perfect for 3-6 year olds. As parents, we need to put our children first and our entertainment expectations last.
