LIKE US ON FACEBOOK: BJ and the Bear Rig. As a child I grew up loving semi-trucks. My love for big rigs began, like most of you, from my dad being a truck driver. My dad and I LOVED watching BJ and the Bear every week on NBC. We still love the opening theme and hearing those air horns. I retired from the Navy after serving 20 years.
The series based on this film began in January 1979, with Evigan the only holdover (along, of course, with the chimp known as "The Bear"). Subsequently, in the fall of 1979, "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo" spun off from this with Claude Akins and Mills Watson returning to play Lobo and his thick-headed deputy.
