La famille ours

Growing up in the 80's I loved to look at The Berenstain Bears on Saturday mornings.It's such a cute and priceless cartoon. Now PBS is airing the Berenstain Bears weekday mornings at 7:00 eastern time.It's perfect for children to watch before they go to school and for adults who remember this from childhood as I do.

Although I never saw the TV show itself, I saw many videos of many different episodes. I remember best the "I Want It All" song from, well, I don't remember which one. I just remember really liking the song but not being able to see the video a lot. I did have a couple of them, the one about strangers, and another, I think. Well, anyway, this is one of those things from the deep recesses of my childhood that isn't very clear at this time. Anyone else who can give a more complete review, please come forward!

With the childhood joy of having read the Berenstain Bears and learning all sorts of lessons from the always-optimistic Bear family, and not having seen very much of the old 1980s series, this came into my life. This, along with Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street, Wishbone, Arthur, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, to name some, was entertaining. With the help of our northern neighbors in Canada, this show made quite an impact, even if it only lasted a few seasons. Now I watch it on YouTube and it hasn't lost its appeal. It's cute, entertaining, funny, touching, sweet, and most of all: educational! Anyone who wants to watch it, go where I go, and see it on YouTube, as I said!

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 such an amazing show! I've seen every single episode of it and it's awesome! The Berenstain Bears is about a family of four: Mama, Papa, Brother, and Sister who live in a town called Bear Country. Together they learn some valuable life lessons. This is a great show and if you're a parent this is good for your kids and it isn't annoying as some kid shows can be sometimes. I'm a teenager now and sometimes I go back and watch this show because it is so good!
