    • Trivia
      Many people over the years have believed that the Berenstains' last name ends with "stein" but all along it was actually "stain". This ties in with the Mandella Effect.
    • Goofs
      In "The Substitute Teacher" episode, Brother and Too-Tall decide not to tell the substitute teacher about the quiz by covering the board with a map. However, they could have just erased it from the board.
    • Quotes

      Papa Q. Bear: [spoken intro. to each episode, before the theme song] This way to Bear Country; you'll know when you're there. As soon as you enter, you'll feel like a bear. A great *grizzly* bear! A *Berenstain* bear!

    Good for learning lessons
    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.
