BJ & the BEAR was created by Coal Carter

BJ & the Bear TV Series featured in Australia in about 1979-81. By the way a new DVD release is available for the BJ & the Bear TV series at: www.tvdvdoutlet.com/product.php?productid=3113303

I got a copy sent from the States, its well worth a look at, epecially if you are a Kenworth lover

Thanks Roland, I think it was Lewingtons that also painted their trucks like this... I'll have to dig around my photos and see.

The word is there was only 3 trucks built by Kenworth in the States for the TV Series, 2 are missing, and 1 is in a Shed. Have a look at this video clip, he would make a great Blue truck driver LOL

A friend of mine always called this show "BJ and the beer", I told them is was actually "BJ and the bear" but they insisted that they were correct.

It turns out that they grew up in Italy where the show was dubbed from the original US version as "BJ e Birra" Birra means beer!
