The Muppets' redneck cousins crash your living room with Willie Nelson and zero shame.
Hosted by Downtown Julie Brown, viewers can get an inside look into the famous band, including a "backstage pass" and a chance to meet Beary Barrington, the Bears' number-one fan, who brought the Bears back together. In the special, the Country Bears also perform three of their biggest hits -- "Where Nobody Knows My Name," "Straight to the Heart of Love," and "Let it Ride."
Acting
Brad Garrett's Fred Bedderhead voice work deserves better material.
Production
Downtown Julie Brown hosting proves this was made by committee in a hurry.
Director
Barnette Ricci
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This TV special premiered months after the theatrical film flopped, making it a bizarre Hail Mary for a franchise already on life support. Disney Channel burned it off like evidence.
The Country Bears are based on Disney's defunct Disneyland attraction, making this 21-minute special the closest thing to a cult preservation of Americana that nobody asked for.
