Papa Bear Goes Up and Down

In "The Berenstain Bears Go Up and Down" from the PBS animated series, Papa Bear won't listen to Sister Bear's advice of making a list of things they need for their fishing trip. So poor Papa ends up exhausted from going up and down the stairs umpteen times in a musical montage, and the entire group is miserable from being in a boat in the hot sun, hungry and thirsty without catching any fish, and then being caught unprepared for a sudden storm.
