The Berenstain Bears Show (also known as "The Berenstain Bears") is an animated children's television series based on the children's book series of the same name by Stan and Jan Berenstain, produced by Southern Star/Hanna-Barbera Australia. It aired in the United States from September 14, 1985, to December 6, 1986 on CBS with 26 half-hour episodes (or 52 11-minute shorts) produced. Reruns of the show would continue to air on the network until September 5, 1987. Each show consisted of two episodes, the first being an adaptation of one of the books, the second being an original story.
The series was nominated in 1987 for a Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming; it was also nominated that year for a Humanitas Prize in the category of Non-Prime Time Children's Animated Show.
A second Berenstain Bears series aired on Treehouse TV in Canada from 2002 to 2003 and on PBS Kids in the United States from 2003 to 2004, but produced in Toronto by Corus' animation division.
