Some friends he's got...

* MayTheFarceBeWithYou: The ''CB Bears'' episode "Disappearing Satellites" takes a number of stylistic cues from the first ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'' film. It has a villain loosely inspired by Darth Vader, who flies a spaceship that resembles the Millennium Falcon. His henchman is a beeping robot named X-9 heavily based off R2-D2, although he does speak actual English between his beeps. The episode debuted on December 3, 1977, barely six months after the first ''Star Wars'' premiered, making ''CB Bears'' one of the first cartoons to do this.
