The Berenstain Bears Season 3

When the Kodiak family moves away, a family of bears named the Ursus family takes their place. Papa has trouble accepting the Ursus family because they are different from the Kodiak family. Brother and Sister quickly befriend Aidan and Bonnie, who teach them how to play lacrosse in exchange for playing soccer while Mama befriends Mrs. Ursus and learns that Mr. Ursus has a sweet tooth just like Papa. As the Bear family eats the fruitcake Mrs. Ursus gives them, Papa learns to accept neighbors for who they are. Suddenly, he takes a liking to Mr. Ursus when he says that his high-speed mower gives him enough time to go fishing, something that Papa enjoys.

Papa tries to run for mayor when Mayor Honeypot isn't doing anything to address Bear Country's arising issues, though he learns that part of being a mayor is keeping his promises.

A new mall has opened in Bear Country and the Bear family decides to go and visit it. After entering, Mama sets some rules for her, the cubs, and Papa to make sure that nobody gets lost. Papa disagrees, saying that a woodsbear like him doesn't get lost. As Mama and the cubs go around looking into and visiting various shops, Papa goes to look for a hardware store, only for him to find himself in the lost cubs station while doing so.

For her school assignment, Sister has to write an essay on the bear that she admires the most. She gets the idea of going to visit Grizzly Gran and borrow her book titled "100 Most Famous Bears". Instead of using the book, Sister learns more about Gran's achievements, prompting her to write a report about Gran being the bear she admires the most.

When the Bear family's treehouse becomes overloaded with their belongings, Mama gets the idea of giving some of their things away to bears who are less fortunate than them.

Papa gets a case of the hiccups after eating a sandwich too quickly. Mama, Brother, and Sister try to help him get rid of them just in time for Mrs. Squire's birthday party.

Mama notices that the family hasn't been spending much time together, so she decides to propose an outing. She first proposes a picnic, which falls through as Brother, Sister, and Papa all have other things to do. On the second Saturday night, Mama suggests the family should go see a movie at the multiplex.

Mama and Papa take the cubs on a trip around Bear Country. The cubs, at first, think they're going to Grizzlyland, but Mama and Papa tell them that they're going to visit Bear Country's national parks. During their trip, the cubs realize that there's more to a park's history and something that the cubs cannot find at places like Grizzlyland.

The cubs want to participate in a pet show, but the rules state that each owner must have a pet. Sister enters Little Lady in the contest, leaving Brother to enter the pet show with Gran's pet parakeet.

Brother works on a birdhouse to earn a Bear Scout merit badge, but after finishing, he trips over his soccer ball and it lands on his birdhouse, breaking it. Mama teaches him and Sister the importance of keeping their things organized. Although Brother doesn't receive a merit badge for the birdhouse, he does receive a merit badge for organization.
