A majority of documented Bear in the Big Blue House air dates are presumed to be incorrect for a number of reasons. This is an attempt to organize and reaffirm the correct dates that each episode originally premiered.

Acceptable sources for the original air dates include:

  • TV listings with episode identification
  • Off-air broadcast recordings
  • Internal documentation

The earliest known air date is the earliest date an episode is known to have aired on TV. While it might not necessarily be the original premiere date, it is still necessary in ruling out later broadcasts as such.

The production date represents documentation which indicates when an episode was completed in its broadcast form. Since an episode couldn't have premiered incomplete, this serves to rule out earlier dates as the original premiere.
