The Adventures of Rupert the Bear!

what in the world ? okay, the cartoon for me is better.

What the heck? OK I had no idea that there's a claymation version of this series. How long has this version been on TV anyway?

Oh and I was just looking this up on Wikipedia and actually this show aired on ITV (UK channel) from 1971-1977. I had no idea that they made this show. It looks REALLY weird.

So Rupert goes back as far as '71? WOW! Did any of you also know that Rupert was created by none other than Paul McCartney? He must've come up with the idea while worrying about the possibility that his future in the music business wouldn't have lasted long after the breakup of the Beatles (which, of course, it did, as he soon went on to form his backup band Wings, and, afterwards, a brilliant solo career). Actually, his inspiration for creating Rupert was his new role as father to his first child with Linda at the time.

FyneT(oo)ning: Actually Rupert was first created back in 1920 and he was used in comics for the british newspaper "Daily Express". The cartoons are based off the comic strips.
