Production notes
The Hillbilly Bears were a clan who lived in the mountains and lazed around to the sound of the banjo. Paw Rugg, the muttering head of the family, spent most of his time asleep, awaking only to blast someone off his property with a shotgun. Maw Rugg smoked a pipe and ran the house, while daughter Floral and son Shagg were constantly wreaking havoc and avoiding responsibility.
Featured in The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show and later repeated in in 1970's The Banana Splits And Friends Show, a syndicated, half-hour repackage of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour."

Do The Bear
As a child of the 60's, I still remember this particular episode over 30 years on! I recall, "Paw" believing he was some kind of pop star making a hit with the song "Do The Bear". Paw's famous laugh and his completely incomprehensible mumbling always cracked me up. I would love to see some reruns of this good old stuff one day."
