Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch! (Boomerang)

THE HAIR BEAR BUNCH chronicles the adventures of Hair Bear (voiced by Daws Butler), Bubi Bear (Paul Winchell), and Square Bear (Bill Callaway). In each episode, the fun-loving bears escape the zoo in an invisible motorcyle, much to the dismay of head zookeeper Mr. Peevley (John Stephenson) and his blank-brained assistant, Lionel J. Boch (Joe E. Ross). But the Hair Bears always prove Mr. Peevley wrong, undermining him and casting his actions and decisions in a poor light. Even though they might come across as less intelligent than the average bear, the groovy trio always beats the zookeeper to the punch. For example, in the wrestling-match episode, the bears dressed up as wrestlers so they could defeat Lionel and donate the $500 to the zoo. The show originally aired in 1971, and the influences of the era are very apparent -- Hair Bear sports a big afro, and all three bears (who, interestingly, bear a striking resemblance to Scooby-Doo) are clearly meant to be hippies.
