Kissyfur

The series was based on a half-hour NBC prime-time special called: Bear Roots and was followed by three more specials until its Saturday morning debut.

The show ran for two seasons.

The show followed the adventures of Gus and Kissyfer, a father and son bear duo who had joined the circus. One day on a circus trip, the train they are riding in derails and the bears escape to a new life in the swamps of Paddlecab County.

There, they protect the local swamp's inhabitants from the local bumbling alligators Floyd and Jolene.

Father and son use the skills they have acquired from the human world to create a boat tour business transporting other animals and their products down the river.

The cartoon was largely a pastiche of the American South, as many characters had Cajun accents or had manners similar to Southern gentleman or Southern belles.
