CB Bears is an hour-long omnibus show produced by Hanna-Barbera for NBC in 1977. The headliners are a trio of mystery-solving bears (voiced by Daws Butler, Henry Corden and Chuck McCann) who receive assignments via their citizens band radio. The five other segments are:
- "Blast-Off Buzzard": A chase cartoon in the vein of Warner Bros.' Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Neither the buzzard nor Crazylegs the snake ever spoke.
- "Heyyy, It's the King!": An all-animal parody of Happy Days.
- "Posse Impossible": A comedy Western spun off from the final episode of Hong Kong Phooey.
- "Shake, Rattle and Roll": Three ghosts inhabit an abandoned hotel and outsmart the ghost hunter Sidney Merciless.
- "Undercover Elephant": A pachyderm master of disguise and his mouse sidekick solve mysteries.
Episodes of the CB Bears segment were later aired as filler on the CBS children's series Captain Kangaroo.
