It's called Special Agent Oso and it is televised on the Disney Channel in the morning for younger viewers along with Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My daughter loves these colorful and musical morning shows and is very interactive when they are on the tv.But I must confess, something about this yellow bear really bothers me. He has to be the stupidest cartoon character I have ever had the misfortune to watch. He doesn't seem to know how to turn on a tap, tell colors or shapes apart and apparently has a memory worse than that of a goldfish.
My husband is a junior high teacher and would often give me a stern look when I would sing alternate lyrics to the Oso theme song. My version I think is far more relevant:-
"It's special Agent Oso the retarded bear,
He's on a "special" mission to disturb a kid somewhere
And he'll need help from you because there's nothing he can do
He's oh so special (he certainly is)
Oh so special."
Well, my husband overheard a few of his students during lunch speaking about how they couldn't stand how their younger siblings liked watching Special Agent Oso. "He is the stupidest bear!" one said, "He creeps in through their windows!" another said.
That evening my husband watched on of the episodes and could not help laughing.
That everyone is a small victory on my part. I can now sing the stupid bear song without any reproach.
