 | Originally an hour long animated series from Hanna Barbera, CB Bears was split into two 30 minute shows on syndication. Shows became CB Bears and Heyyy, It's The King, and were first aired in 1977. As with most Hanna Barbera animated series, it only ran for one season, or 13 episodes. And again like most of them, it was repeated regularly through the late 70s and into the 80s. The show was later shown on the Cartoon Network in the mid-90s. The original hour long show featured six separate segments. |
| On syndication CB Bears featured the CB Bears themselves, 3 trash-collecting bear crime solving detectives. They had a striking resemblance in both look and character to the Hair Bear Bunch. Also featured were Blast-Off Buzzard and Crazylegs the snake, which was a non-speaking segment almost identical in style to Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner. And finally they had the Posse Impossible, made up of Sheriff of Saddlesore, and his posse of cowboys. Heyyy, It's The King featured the Fonzie (from Happy Days) like king, and his band made-up of school mates. Undercover Elephant and his sidekick Loudmouse the Mouse who work for a detective agency and solve mysteries. The joke being that whatever Undercover Elephant disguised himself as, he always looked like a big blue elephant. And finally Shake, Rattle & Roll, three ghosts who run a hotel for ghosts and other supernatural creatures. |  |
