About Me
B.J. & the Bear
1979-1981
B.J. McKay was a good-looking young trucker who traveled around the country in his big red & white rig, with a single companion - his pet chimp, Bear, who is named for the man who B.J. proudly asserts is the greatest football coach in history.
B.J. was based in rural Georgia and was confronted by a succession of corrupt local sheriffs - Elroy P. Lobo (who was later given his own series, Lobo); Sgt. Wiley of Winslow County and his two fellow lawmen, Sheriffs Cain and Masters. The only honest cop B.J. seemed to encounter was the Fox, who spent much of her time trying to trap the crooked local cops. Tommy was a lady trucker friend and Bullets ran the local hangout, the Country Comfort Truck Stop.In 1981, B.J. settled down to run a trucking business in Los Angeles called Bear Enterprises. His new adversary was Rutherford T. Grant, a corrupt politician who headed the state Special Crimes Action Team. Grant was a silent partner in TransCal, the largest trucking firm in California and stopped at nothing to stomp out potential competition. Because of Grant's intervention, B.J. found it impossible to get regular truck drivers to work for him and had to settle for a crew of 7 young, beautiful lady truckers, including a pair of identical twins and Grant's daughter, Cindy.
The theme song is sung by Greg Evigan & company, and it was written by show creator Glen Larson.

The next song is provided for your amusement. It is "I'm Billing Time" by the Bar & Grill Singers. They are a group of Austin attorneys that are pretty good singers, and they have come up with some funny parodies of songs. You may check them out and/or purchase their CD's at www.barandgrillsingers.com.
The last song is added for your holiday enjoyment. It's a Xmas song by SNL's Horatio Sanz, Chris Kataan, Tracy Morgan, and Jimmy Fallon. I don't care about the C.I.A., I don't care what the calendar say, I wish it was Christmas today...
-And a Bear sends a big thanks to whoever reported us for playing that Paul Williams' song. We're probably only the few people on the planet who know and appreciate who he is, we didn't enable downloading, and we only uploaded his song in tribute. Sorry that someone had a problem with it.
