After a small break, I’m back! It’s The Berenstain Bears “Kong for a Day” which is barely a title and “Blaze a Trail” which is yet another Papa makes a fool of himself and everything works out okay anyways, plot. Won’t you watch?!
This week, we’re checking out The Not So Buried Treasure and The Condemned Backscratcher! Plus, I ramble about It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, and the career of Linda Woolverton! Let’s go!
We BACK! And it’s episode… 7? Of The Berenstain Bears. Let’s get SPOOKED by a suit of armor and DUPED by Raffish Ralph! It’s “Knight to Remember” and “The Super-Duper Bowl!”
Brad Mariska and Jeremy Gloff are here to ring in the ol’ 500!
The Berenstain Bears Soccer Star and Shoot the Rapids! Two episodes in one!
Mike Berenstain returns! We talk why some classic Bears books got updates, a rediscovered pre-Old Hat, New Hat concept (“Too Loose, Too Tight, Just Right”), and cosmology for kids. Plus: the first Bears Little Golden Book is in the works. Also, we talk about Tintin?
We’re back on the books, babez! It’s “The Berenstain Bears Reach For The Stars” from 2025 and we’re asking, “Hey. Is this scientifically accurate?” Let’s find out!
This week, it’s all birthdays and bull dodging with “The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday” and “To The Rescue!”
This week, we rewatch the 1985 Berenstain Bears episode pairing “The Neighborly Skunk” with “The Missing Pumpkin.” We talk Too-Tall’s first TV appearance (and why he looks nothing like the books), Frank Welker’s very Frank-Welkery skunk, and why “use animals to teach anti-prejudice” never quite works the way creators hope. Then it’s off to Farmer … Continue reading "Episode 495 – The Berenstain Bears And The Neighborly Skunk/The Missing Pumpkin"
This week, I’m checking out “The Giant Bat Cave” and “The Wild Wild Honey!” Get ready for political corruption, eco-terrorism, and a sexually aggressive bee queen! Sister Bear overthrows city planning, Papa Bear declares war on insects, and it gets sticky!
We’re back to talk the 1985 Berenstain Bears TV show with episode two! It’s “The Spooky Old House” and “The Fly-Away Pizza!” Woo hoo?
This nightmare of an episode is brough to you by my unfettered ADHD and a time crunch. Enjoy me rambling about Canadian child actors’ bit roles!
It’s nap time, babies! This week on Deep in Bear Country, let’s wrestle with Mike Berenstain’s latest board book, The BABY Berenstain Bears’ Nap Time (2025). From Honey Bear’s refusal to rest, to pillow cuddles, to the eternal struggle of transitions, this one’s a full-on nap time confessional. Get ready to tune in, turn on, … Continue reading "Episode 491 – The BABY Berenstain Bears’ Nap Time"
Kids be poopin’. This week on Deep In Bear Country, we take our first look at Mike Berenstain’s newest series, The Berenstain BABY Bears. A series of board books focusing on Honey, Teddi and… well, I’m certain there’s other little cubs around town. In “It’s Potty Time” we dip back into the sewage filled well … Continue reading "Episode 490 – The BABY Berenstain Bears: Potty Time"
This week I’m talking about The Berenstain Bears Get Outdoors (2025), a simple Level 1 reader where the Cubs camp in the backyard, Papa Bear makes a mess of things, and—out of nowhere—Mr. Raccoon shows up. Along the way, I share a few of my own disastrous camping stories, look back at the old Ghost … Continue reading "Episode 489 – The Berenstain Bears: Get Outdoors"
This week, it’s the brand-new 2025 release The Berenstain Bears: World’s Number One Teacher, a compact “teacher gift” book built from classic illustrations of Teacher Jane, Teacher Bob, and maybe Actual Factual? I share a dedication to my own #1 teacher who’s retiring after 40 years in the classroom. Plus: a detour into Alessi vs. … Continue reading "Episode 488 – The Berenstain Bears World’s #1 Teacher"
After a break to work on my Fringe show, I’m back in Bear Country with a look at The Berenstain Bears: World’s Best Papa Bear, a gift book from 2024. On the surface, it’s a sweet, simple tribute to dads—but reading it got me thinking about my own father, what it means to protect your … Continue reading "Episode 487 – The Berenstain Bears: World’s Best Papa Bear"
This week, I head outside—despite my deep hatred of bugs, gnats, and all things “outdoors”—to talk about The Bears’ Picnic, the third “I Can Read It All By Myself” book by Stan and Jan Berenstain. It’s a classic tale of a well-meaning family picnic gone hilariously wrong, with Papa Bear dragging the family across bear … Continue reading "Episode 486 – Berenstain Bears: The Bears’ Picnic"
