- TriviaTo make a more compelling product for syndication, all episodes of BJ and the Bear and its spinoff The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (changed to Lobo) were packaged as a bundle titled "The B.J./Lobo Show".
- GoofsB.J. was supposedly a captain in the US Army and a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. Most pilots were actually Army warrant officers with higher-ranking commissioned officers only flying the less dangerous missions as their experience was required from administration and training. This conflicts with the series narrative as B.J. was actually shot down and taken captive for a short period of time which is unlikely to have occurred during the conflict.

Featured review
Loved this show when I was 10. There was a bad butt trucker, a ex Nam medic mystery solving truck driver, beautiful women everywhere and a pet monkey called Bear. B J can go into a small town solve a mystery aka Dukes of Hazzard style, impressing the pretty girl in the mystery, and manage to deliver his load on time every week on the 45 minute show. What not to like add pro wrestlers, hot gals, bar fights, corrupt cops (aka sheriff Lobo) and the Bear doing cute things made for me a fun hours while drink quick and staying up late. What more can a kid want for a Friday night show. I ate a truck stop once and was disappointing when real life hit, their was no murder with beautiful around just stressed out truckers trying to get the delivery done on time. Well B J and the Bear is a formulate southern style Dukes of Hazzard show. 7 stars.
