The Berenstain Bears	comment	The Berenstain Bears is a long-running children's book series created by Stan and Jan Berenstain (hey, that rhymes!) in 1962. It centers on a family of bears composed of Mama and Papa Bear, and their children, Brother (formerly Small), Sister, and Honey Bear. Yes, those are their real names. It started out as series of simple picture books in the line of Dr. Seuss, but soon evolved into a series of story picture books for children. Starting in 1993, the Berenstains (that's the authors) began writing Big Chapter Books, which put the characters into more serious situations in much longer (but still kid-oriented) books. The picture books have also taken several formats as well, ranging from small hardcovers written in rhyme, to square picture books. Almost all of the books take the title "The Berenstain Bears and __________"Note that the name is spelled Berenstain. Spelling it Berenstein is a very common error, to the point that even official materials have (mis)spelled it that way occasionally.There were also several Animated Adaptations over time: Christmas Tree, Meet Bigpaw, Easter Surprise, Valentine Special and Littlest Leaguer (also called Play Ball), all of which aired on NBC. A TV series (The Berenstain Bears Show) aired on CBS between 1985 and 1986, and a second began in 2002 on Treehouse TV and PBS Kids. The 1980s cartoon was an International Coproduction between the American and Australian Hanna-Barbera units and Aussie's Southern Star (originally a subsidiary of H-B AU prior to the end of The '80s, later folded into Endemol); the PBS series was produced by Canada's Nelvana. Nelvana also previously held the rights to the older CBS series after Southern Star was folded into Endemol.A feature film from Narnia company Walden Media and Night at the Museum's Shawn Levy was in the works, although nothing came out after its announcement, and this announcement confirmed that the film was "still in the script phase".The entirety of the 2002 series is available (outside the US) on YouTube here, thanks to Nelvana's Treehouse Direct channel and the complete series was also made available on DVD for those who prefer that format. PBS still releases some episodes of the show on DVDs and continues to exclusively distribute the series in the US as of today.With Stan's death in 2005 and Jan's in 2012, their son Mike Berenstain continues to write more Berenstain Bears books for them to share with everyone else around the world.

The Berenstain Bears / int_10cb9a31	comment	Axes at School: No Guns Allowed features a serious discussion about cubs bringing guns to school. Too-Tall scares the kids in the climax by bringing a water pistol to squirt Ferdy. Lizzie calls her dad, and everyone is worried Too-Tall wanted to actually kill Ferdy. Even though Ferdy uses their rubberband gun on Too-Tall, making him lose their feud by default, Brother and Sister are still shaken.

The first one donates eighty percent of the money they collect to the hospital, while the circus gets twenty percent, minus expenses. The other three copies, which Dr. Gert didn't read after signing the first one, had it the other way around. The culprits, fortunately, are caught when the first contract is located and used as evidence of fraud. Furthermore, it's said that this isn't the first time they've pulled this same stunt, and that the victims never catch on.

If not, it'll go to the county to do with as they please. While they technically violate the terms by leaving before sunrise, the law firm still awards them the property for meeting the terms in spirit, by proving (albeit by different means than intended) that the place isn't haunted. In the end, they have it thoroughly renovated and turned into a Community Center for Beartown, with the grounds becoming a park and playground.

The cubs only went with the unauthorized newspaper because they felt ignored, something the adults admit was wrong of them.

The Berenstain Bears / int_1e6eb73	comment	In The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday, we're supposed to think Sister's birthday party goes wrong because Papa ignores Mama's advice and makes the party too big and crazy. But of all the things that go wrong, the only problem caused by the party being over-the-top is when Sister eats too many treats and then feels sick after riding the ponies and merry-go-round. The other problems (Sister losing a game, winning a game but not getting the prize because "it wouldn't be polite," getting nervous during Spin the Bottle, Cousin Freddy squirting water on her, and her friends teasing her when she fails to blow out the candles) could have happened even at a simple party. A more consistent Aesop would have been "Sometimes things go wrong at your birthday party and that's okay" than "There's such a thing as too much birthday."

The Berenstain Bears / int_1fb4d915	comment	The Stool Pigeon: A Concerned Claire version in In The School Scandal Sheet. The cubs of the school newspaper club are frustrated with Miss Glitch's iron-clad control over what they can write, so they rebel with an underground paper. However it gets taken too far when Queenie McBear goes behind everyone's back and puts in an unapproved story about Teacher Bob being seen having dinner with a pretty teenager (who was actually his niece visiting him to look at colleges in the area), causing a fuss throughout town. Another article about how everybody hates Miss Glitch also caused her to leave school for the day in tears. Brother feels so guilty about it that he confesses everything to Sister. She decides to tell Mama because she thinks she could help solve the problem, who in turn informs the school authorities. This turns out to be the right action, because it helped clear Teacher Bob's name. It also allowed for the real student newspaper to reform to allow for a bit more writer freedom, and the cubs involved in the underground paper were able to learn a tough-but-fair lesson about reporter responsibility and getting the facts straight.

The drivers of the yellow and orange cars each take the lead and boast about how they will win, only to get into accidents and be eliminated from the race. The driver of the green car then figures that if he beats the blue car, he will win, so he leaves tacks on the road and blows the blue car's tires. When he is almost at the finish line, he passes a fast-food restaurant and decides to order a burger. He gets his burger just in time to see that he has inadvertently given Brother enough time to pass him and win the race.

Also, The Trouble with Grownups is a virtual lampshading of part of this trope, although it examines the parent-child relationship from both sides of the fence.

The Berenstain Bears / int_235a2706	comment	Baseball Episode: The 1983 special The Berenstain Bears Littlest Leaguer (AKA The Berenstain Bears Play Ball), in which Papa turns into something of a competition freak after learning about Little League tryouts being held and fixating on the idea of Brother becoming a baseball star, while Brother isn't really interested in joining; meanwhile, Sister is interested, but Papa tells her baseball isn't for girls and she should concentrate on more typical "girls' activities". In the end, Brother and his friends teach Papa a lesson about how it's not whether you win or lose that counts — it's how much fun you have playing the game, while he comes to realize that gender doesn't matter and if Sister wants to play, he shouldn't try to stop her. The 1987 book Go Out for The Team (1987) also involves it, as Brother and Sister have been playing with their friends, and it's suggested they try out for an official Little League team. In one of the Living Lights books, Brother and Sister's baseball team has a game and Brother learns a lesson about prayer.

The Berenstain Bears / int_23b059ec	comment	Bedsheet Ghost: Done in the book "The Berenstain Bears and the Ghost of the Forest" (which was also done as an episode of the 80s TV series, "Bust a Ghost"). Papa Bear decides to scare the Cub Scouts on an overnight forest camping trip by disguising as the "Ghost of the Forest" by wearing an old white sheet with two eyeholes cut in it. Scout Leader Jane overhears Papa's plan and decides to get back by crafting her own stick-and-leaves ghost face rigged with a flashlight, effectively scaring Papa and foiling his plan. This is also Papa Bear's costume in "Trick or Treat" from the PBS series, with an added Jack-o'-lantern head. It actually manages to scare Brother and Sister Bear a bit... until he starts complaining that he can't see and starts bumbling around bumping into stuff.

Brother is surprised because he didn't think Two-Ton (despite being a reasonable adult) cared about an endangered bird; Queenie admits that he doesn't, but he does like living and working in the wide open areas outside Beartown, and isn't happy about a new housing development — which would be built with the wood gained from cutting down the trees — being put up next to "his space".

In "The Trouble at School", Brother Bear gets a cold and misses a few days of school. Even though he was able to do his homework, he didn't, so he flunked his test when he got better. Sister Bear then catches it off him.

No one should steal from hospitals. He goes to confront the circus and nearly gets killed.

The Berenstain Bears / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: In the 2002 series, Brother and Too-Tall have a shared character arc. It's notable in that it encompasses the entire series, instead of being confined to a single episode. In the early episodes, Too-Tall is your basic bully and troublemaker who's very clearly jealous of Brother Bear, and Brother in return thinks Too-Tall doesn't have a personality beyond dumb, mean kid. They surprise each other though, several times, and gradually gain respect for each other. By the later episodes, Too-Tall mellows out a lot as a result of Brother's influence, and the two cubs seem to be becoming friends. Said arc plays out over "Double Dare", "Trick Or Treat", "Mighty Milton", "The Talent Show", "The Big Red Kite", "Showdown At Birder's Wood", "White Water Adventure", "Big Road Race", "Papa's Pizza" and "The Female Fullback".

The Berenstain Bears / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The Berenstain Bears' New Neighbours has an anti-racist aesopnote in fact, it provides the image on the Fantastic Racism page — which really falls apart when you take into account weasels are consistently portrayed as bad guys. Racism is only bad when you do it towards pandas...? Although it should be noted Weasel McGreed and his hench-weasels were only made for the 80s cartoon and Bear Scouts chapter books, which are not canon with the main books. It's also unclear if the bears are making blanket statements about weasels in general, which would make it a Broken Aesop, or talking about this specific group of weasels, which considering their designs for Bear Country and its residents, is fair. In The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday, we're supposed to think Sister's birthday party goes wrong because Papa ignores Mama's advice and makes the party too big and crazy. But of all the things that go wrong, the only problem caused by the party being over-the-top is when Sister eats too many treats and then feels sick after riding the ponies and merry-go-round. The other problems (Sister losing a game, winning a game but not getting the prize because "it wouldn't be polite," getting nervous during Spin the Bottle, Cousin Freddy squirting water on her, and her friends teasing her when she fails to blow out the candles) could have happened even at a simple party. A more consistent Aesop would have been "Sometimes things go wrong at your birthday party and that's okay" than "There's such a thing as too much birthday." In The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room, the intended moral is that you should have a clean room because it will help to know where things are, and your parents may actually be willing to help you. Unfortunately, the way it's presented instead seems to suggest you should have an organised room so your parents don't throw your possessions away.

Later on, in the book's finale, Gramps ends up crashing Gran's performance at the adults-only talent show, riding a unicycle in a clown outfit of his own, and it culminates with he and Gran each throwing a cream pie at one another and then falling to the ground, each happily kissing their spouse's pie-covered face.

Papa Bear believes it will be a Comet of Doom, and then Little Green Bear aliens land in a flying saucer to warn them that the Great Grizzly Comet will collide with Bear Country, and as this news spreads around town, Raffish Ralph offers to buy the area while everyone evacuates the area. Brother and Sister Bear are suspicious about this (especially since Actual Factual had stated a few times there is no danger from the comet), and so they investigate and find out that the "Little Green Bears" are actually Weasel McGreed and three other henchweasels disguised in full-body alien suits (albeit with their true hands visible) flying in an inflatable saucer, in a scheme Ralph had cooked up to take advantage of the comet hype. Luckily Bigpaw is able to help Brother and Sister in foiling Ralph and the weasels' plan.

When Brother Bear, Sister Bear, and their friends form a group to raise money for Ms. Mamie, one of the Bogg Brothers dresses up as the ghost of Billy Beechtree in a last ditch effort to scare them away, but he and his brothers get caught. The ending reveals that they were hired by a real estate development company so they could take over the academy, tear it down, and build a shopping mall. In the Big Chapter Book In Maniac Mansion, a pack of thieves disguise themselves as the ghosts of Bad Bart Grizzly and his men (who, according to family legend, are supposed to be haunting Grizzly Mansion) in order to fool anyone who saw them in the act of carrying out their crimes. In the Big Chapter Book ...and the Ghost of the Auto Graveyard, the car thieves disguise themselves as ghosts by wearing long white dusters (a type of coat typically worn by people while driving a convertible, to keep the road dust off them) while hiding the stolen cars in the back of Parts R Us. It fools Two-Ton Grizzly when he sees them that first night, but not Cousin Fred later on, as he gets a better look at them with his binoculars and is able to see right through the disguise. In the Bear Scouts book Ghost Versus Ghost, there's three of them. First, Ralph Ripoff makes a bet with the Scouts and plans to win it by cheating, dressing up as a ghost to scare them out of the supposedly haunted woods where they're camping. Second, Professor Actual Factual figures out what Ralph is up to and decides to scare him with a ghost costume of his own. And third, the villains of the book ( the Bogg Brothers) dress as a ghost to try and scare them all away from their illegal logging operation. In The Berenstain Bear Scouts Scream Their Heads Off, the Bear Scouts have to go into Widow Bearkin's old house on Spook Hill on the night of the new moon. While there, they find it's been rigged up to simulate a haunting, including a sheet made to look like a ghost, a boom box with ghostly noises and a large number of rubber rats. It turns out the place is being used as a headquarters by a band of thieves, members of the Bogg Brothers Gang, who are using the house to stash stolen loot and set up the scares to keep the cubs away long enough for them to pick up their ill-gotten gains and move them to another location. Fortunately, the Big Bear City cops managed to get there and capture the thieves while the Scouts and their Scout Leader were away informing the Beartown police of what they'd found, and are still on the site when the cubs and Jane return with Chief Bruno.

Later entries in those previous lines (e.g., Beginner Books) were written to reflect the First Time Books.note Which are generally considered to be the "main continuity" of the series. Moreover, the Bears themselves had similar, but nonetheless different designs from the First Time Books. In fact some of the books written before Sister Bear's debut were very humorous and didn't focus on life lessons (such as the 1966 book The Bears Picnic where Mama, Papa, and Small/Brother Bear almost get run over by a plane just to find a perfect spot to have a picnic). Another notable difference is that the first couple of books were inhabited by different anthropomorphic animals (such as monkeys, pigs, dogs, giraffes, bears, hippos, and rabbits) compared to only inhabited by anthropomorphic bears (save for the Easter Bunny from the 1981 Easter Special).

The Berenstain Bears / int_5f7e03b7	comment	Girls vs. Boys Plot: In the Big Chapter Book and the Female Fullback, the B-plot involves Brother Bear running against Queenie McBear for school president. Queenie decides to turn the whole thing into a boys vs. girls fight by using the upheaval from Bertha Broom trying out for the boys football team in her campaign, expecting to win because all the girls (and one boy, her on-again off-again boyfriend Too-Tall) will vote for her as a result, while all the other boys vote for Brother (which would have made Queenie the winner by one vote). It doesn't quite work out like she planned, ending in a tie when one of the girls — Bertha Broom, the titular female fullback — doesn't care about women's issues and votes for Brother instead. Queenie still wins, but only because Brother concedes after admitting he has too many responsibilities anyway.

The Berenstain Bears / int_6eae387f	comment	Dress Code: The Big Chapter Book And the Dress Code revolves around one; the plot starts when the annual run of new spring fashions (or "rad clothes") starts getting out of hand at Bear Country School, in part out of rebellion after Stern Teacher Miss Glitch orders Queenie McBear to go home and change due to disapproving her choice of clothing (a very short miniskirt) despite only being on hall duty and not being Queenie's teacher, and not even sending her to the principal's office first. Vice-Principal Grizzmeyer, who becomes acting principal while Principal Honeycomb is out of town on school-related business, fully supports Miss Glitch because he also disapproves of the rad clothes, and institutes a dress code specifically aimed at banning them, along with roping other adults outside the school into the movement against them. When the cubs turn to Loophole Abuse to get past the rules, he keeps updating it to try and close the loopholes, until it boils down to "Any cub who shows up in clothes I don't approve of will be sent home, no exceptions". The cubs respond by threatening to refuse to come to school unless he backs down. Finally, some other adults persuade both sides to agree to debate, which the cubs win handily via revealing that the three lead adults in the anti-rad movement were no better in their youth. After the anti-rad group concedes, Principal Honeycomb reveals he's returned early and declares an end to the dress code, along with instituting casual Fridays, which satisfies the students and leads them to tone down the clothes of their own free will.

Roscoe, as the challenged, had the right to choose the weapon... and chose pies, with someone promptly going to a nearby bakery and coming back with two banana cream pies for them to use. Despite losing the duel, Gramps came out on top in the long run, as he was physically unharmed (though his pride was somewhat wounded), and Gran decided he was the bear she wanted to marry.

That particular dub completely overhauls the background music, replacing the countryside tunes with the sounds of Sioux flutes; this includes the theme song, which has a completely different melody from the original English version.

Principal Honeycomb (who wasn't aware of what happened) gets a phone call from Queenie's mother, who tells him off because Miss Glitch isn't Queenie's teacher. In addition, the miniskirt and full-body leotard was an outfit that Queenie's mother wore as a cub, and thus should be school appropriate. This ends up instigating a fashion war between the students, who are all pissed off at Miss Glitch for what she did, and a good portion of the teachers when Mr. Honeycomb has to leave on a business trip. In the Big Chapter Book And the School Scandal Sheet, Queenie spots Teacher Bob having dinner with a teenaged girl and assumes they're on a date, so she takes a picture of them (unbeknownest to both of them) and sneaks it in the gossip page of the underground newspaper the Newspaper Club is publishing to protest against Miss Glitch's ironclad control of the newspaper. Unfortunately, the teen turns out to be Teacher Bob's niece who's visiting him to look at colleges in the area, something Brother, the editor of the underground newspaper, knew for a fact as Mama had her over for tea a couple of days prior. Brother angrily informs Queenie that had she not gone behind his back to put the photo in, he would have killed the story on the spot and they wouldn't have pissed off Teacher Bob and so many of the teachers (who also know the teen is his niece). Not only is Queenie horrified that she accidentally had her teacher accused of unprofessional behavior, it ultimately led to the writers of the secondary newspaper getting exposed because Brother felt so guilty he confessed everything to Sister, which led to the school authorities finding out when Sister decides to tell Mama because she's worried about what would happen if the school authorities didn't find out who the writers were sooner.

Brother Bear is also severely grounded by Papa in Report Card Trouble for a terrible report card, being stripped of basically everything except studying until his grades improve. Mama at first approves of this completely, only putting her foot down when the grounding threatens to get out of hand, but eventually realizes that they should have been checking his work as parents too.

After being preoccupied with the tooth for the whole story, the dentist seats Sister in the examination chair, takes a piece of gauze, and gently, but firmly, pulls the tooth out. On the next two-page spread, a closeup illustration shows Sister Bear looking joyously at the first baby tooth she has ever lost in the hand of the dentist. ...and the Bad Dream: Brother Bear is an enormous fan of the "Space Grizzlies" line of action figures and playsets, and he bargains for Sister Bear to role-play (by playing games and activities that Sister wants to do first), and they eventually both get into the fun. When it's announced that a Space Grizzlies motion picture is releasing to cinemas soon, Brother Bear is, of course, thrilled. However, the cinematic experience proves to be a bit intense by himself, on Avengers level, if the two-page spread of the battles blazing on the movie screen is anything to go by. This leads to the eponymous bad dreams (made up of the Space Grizzlies characters and the various activities from earlier in the story) that he and Sister Bear experience that night.

The place is in desperate need of fixing up, so the campers have to spend the first few days doing the work themselves, and there's a number of anonymous pranks that end up being the work of Too-Tall Grizzly and his gang (who weren't actually attending when they pulled them, they just got bored hanging around home without their "friends" and decided to go have some fun with them), but it's the "no contact between boys and girls" rule (due to Mr. Grizzmeyer's belief that they'll wind up getting a lot of silly crushes on one another and giving the camp a bad name) that really ticks off a lot of the campers. In spite of all this, they wind up having a lot of fun in the end and are looking forward to coming back; the big musical show at the annual inter-camp meet, where they proceed to show off their issues with the camp and yet how much they've wound up liking it, proves their point to Grizzmeyer and leads him to admitting he made some mistakes (including the "separate camps for boys and girls" rule) and will do better next year.

So they study the rules and on the very first day, decide to piss off the acting principal by doing just this, and intentionally declaring that they are not breaking any rules. "The rules say there are no blue jeans with holes allowed... Mine are green", "I didn't cut these shorts, I ripped them" and "It's not a Batbear Cape, it's a Superbear Cape." This prompts the acting principal to blow his top and put in an Obvious Rule Patch mid-day after this happens several times.

But it doesn't bother me when other cubs wear them to school." Eventually though, when Miss Glitch comes to his home asking for Papa's support, it proves to be the last straw for him. Specifically, when she reveals the adults' B.O.R.E. organization is going to be holding a big school assembly about their opposition to the cubs' new fashions, Brother learns they're also planning to delay the school concert (which Brother is taking part in and which he and the other students want to get over with so they can move on to new music) that was originally scheduled for that time. Seeing this act as an even bigger disruption than the clothes themselves, he immediately storms out and starts contacting the other cubs to form a dedicated organization — F.R.E.E.S. — meant to counter B.O.R.E., with himself as a major leader. Later in the same book, when Vice-Principal Grizzmeyer announces a new dress code version that basically lets him outlaw any clothes he personally doesn't like, Ferdy Factual (who's been pretty snide towards both sides over the whole thing) finally announces his support for his fellow cubs and joins the F.R.E.E.S. organization.

Among finding out he's going to compete in the contest, Papa Bear decides to test it out before the contest begins, but only succeeds in getting the striker to go up one third of the way. Then during the actual contest, Too-Tall's father Two-Ton Grizzly easily gets the striker to hit the bell, but when it's Papa's turn, the bees seeking revenge on Papa for stealing his honey to make his famous six-flavored honey for the fair's honey contest (which he won) all fly towards Papa in the shape of a harpoon and sting his behind, resulting in Papa hitting the striker so hard he breaks it and wins the "Strongest Bear" trophy!

At the end of the book, Papa Bear's roadster (the last car made by a well-known car company before it went out of business) manages to win third. Papa is happy with winning third given how stiff the competition was, while the Squire is envious about not winning all three trophies for the best cars in the country, and actually tries to buy the family roadster off Papa afterward (Papa declines, equally politely).

This is especially noticeable with Miss Glitch; the reason why the dress wars got started in the first place is because she overstepped her authority and sent Queenie home for wearing a miniskirt, despite the fact that Queenie wasn't her student and she didn't talk to Principal Honeycomb about it. One of the pictures shown of her as a teen is her wearing a miniskirt that's extremely short.
