Help!...It's the Hair Bear Bunch! is a Saturday morning cartoon, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1971 for CBS. The show was developed under the name The Yo Yo Bears, a title which many sources inaccurately list as its name in syndication. The cartoon series depicted three fun-loving bears - the Alfroed, fast-talking Hair Bear, confusing-talking Bubi Bear, and laid-back Square Bear, who are always trying to find a way to escape the Wonderland Zoo on some sort of get-rich-quick scheme, or a wild night of fun. Trying to stop them are the constantly aggravated head zoo director, Mr. Eustace P. Peevly, and his hopelessly inadequate Lionel J. Botch. Mr. Peevly and Botch work for the Zoo Superintendent, and both of them try to stay on his good side. Many episodes end Hair Bear covering for Peevly, couching the shenanigans and disarray as a project initiated by Peevly for the zoo's welfare, which the Superintendent always accepts and spares Peevly's job.
The cartoon show features the voices of Daws Butler as Hair Bear. William Callaway as Square Bear. Paul Winchell as Bubi Bear. John Stephenson as Zookeeper Eustace P. Peevly. And Joe E. Ross as Lionel J. Botch.
