Canadian television has a knack for doing more with less, and The Berenstain Bears is a prime example. It's currently available in the US on PBS Kids Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.

Originally commissioned by Treehouse TV, The Berenstain Bears quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. We follow a family of bears, known as the Berenstain Bears, as they figure out life together. With friendly neighbors and close friends, the journey is never boring. Inspired by the book series written by Stan and Jan Berenstain. The series ran for 3 seasons (2003–2004), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. The Berenstain Bears respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
