	== Production ==
	The Berenstain Bears was originally developed for television by Joe Cates. Perpetual Motion had produced the earlier specials. The cartoons produced afterwards were produced in association with Joe Cates. The producers and animators of the original animated motion picture Charlotte's Web, and the ] series ] also produced this series. ] and ] were originally combined in the end credits, but are now credited with the modern Southern Star logo instead. This appears to be common in other productions since DVD releases of Famous Classic Tales also credit only Souther Star as the producers. However, cartoons that were made API and Hanna Barbera Australia are now part of Southern Star Productions. It is mostly distributed by DiC Entertainment, but the DiC logos fail to show up on the early Berenstain Bear tapes. The opening previews were edited, the original title cards were replaced, and the end credits were slightly modified. The theme music was originally played slower, and in the early VHS releases, this music was sped up, and the credits were scrolling. In 2000, it was released by Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment. Recently, the series has been syndicated on a few TV stations by DiC. This time, The Incredible World Of DiC logos are seen throughout the presention of the cartoons. It opens with an Incredible World Of DiC animated Logo, with random illustrations of The Berenstain Bears. The next scenes show the opening previews with the original music while selected scenes from two episodes are combined into one clip. The opening is shown, followed by the original title cards. Before and after commericials, The Incredible World Of DiC logo appears on a corner of a Berenstain Bears illustration. The original closing credits are seen with the final few seconds going directly to the production logos. They are another Incredible World Of DiC logo, a Southern Star Entertainment logo, and a Tribune Entertainment logo.

			The series was nominated in 1987 for a ] award for Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming; it was also nominated that year for a ] in the category of Non-Prime Time Children's Animated Show.
