Blatant Scooby-Doo formula theft with bears.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Hanna-Barbera's attempt to clone their own success: CB Bears = Scooby-Doo, Shake, Rattle and Roll = Josie and the Pussycats, Heyyy, It's the King! = every celebrity cartoon they ever made.
The CB radio craze peaked in 1976-77 thanks to 'Convoy' and Smokey and the Bandit; H-B slapped bears on the trend so fast the paint was still wet.
