Format
Almost every episode contains two self-contained stories; in some cases, episodes featured three to four shorter stories. The stories are framed by a series of sequences featuring the "Big, Fat, Fabulous Bear," who introduced the stories in each episode.

In Germany, the first season aired from October 12, 1986 to January 4, 1987, and the second season between January 7 and April 2, 1990. Both seasons aired on ARD. Re-runs later aired on KiKa from April 8, 2007 until April 5, 2008.
