The only source for that ad first premiering in 2000/2001 is a dubious-looking IM Db page. That product wasn't introduced until 2003 and the commercial began airing circa 2004 or 2005.


* RepeatingAd: The 2001 commercial for Orajel's kids' training toothpaste that was based on this show was so frequently played on morning programming across various channels that mothers with young children would watch (such as the syndicated talk show programming shown by networks like Creator/{{ABC}} and Creator/{{CBS}} or preschool blocks like Creator/NickJr) and ran until 2012. It was shown so frequently that it even appeared on programs that were not targeted to the commercial's demographic, like ''Series/TheDailyShow''.

* ChildrenVoicingChildren: Despite being a CrossdressingVoice, Creator/KristinFairlie really was just 10 years old when she began voicing Little Bear. Jennifer Martini (Emily) and Ashley Taylor (Mitzi) were also preteen girls. Creator/AmosCrawley (Owl) was also just 14 at the start of the series (evident by the fact that just a year earlier he had voiced Arnold on {{The Magic School Bus}}, and had sounded nothing like he does as Owl), although Owl's age is [[VagueAge vague.]]

Fake.


* MissingEpisode: One episode was aired once but never again. For a period, its existence was solely known from people who claimed to have seen it. It involves Little Bear being scared during a thunderstorm and hiding in his parents' room. It can now be found on [=YouTube=], however.

Noy what this trope is about: "An over-promoted, over-aired program that either dominates the entire schedule or gets promoted over every other show on the network or some combination of the two."
