4Creator/HannaBarbera produced this SaturdayMorningCartoon for Creator/{{CBS}} in the early 1970s. The show focused on a ComicTrio of bears living in, and often trying to escape from, the fictional Wonderland Zoo. The leader, Hair Bear (Creator/DawsButler), was so named because of his FunnyAfro. Aiding him were dimwitted Square Bear (Bill Callaway) and TheUnintelligible Bubi Bear (Creator/PaulWinchell).

6Like WesternAnimation/WallyGator, the bears were often in a battle of wits with head zookeeper Eustace P. Peevly (John Stephenson) and his DumbMuscle assistant, Lionel J. Botch (Joe E. Ross). Some of the other zoo animals contributed to Hair Bear's {{zany scheme}}s.

10* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: Exactly how Square Bear is able to summon a invisible motorcycle whenever the three need transportation or a quick escape. Hair Bear even questioned it at one point put ultimately accepted it was just a skill of his.
11* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: John Stephenson was cast as Peevly because he sounded like Joe Flynn from ''Series/McHalesNavy''. Flynn himself auditioned at Stephenson's suggestion, but Joe Barbera didn't think Flynn sounded right.
12%%* SuperMultipurposeRoom: The bears' cave functioned as this.
