Saturday Morning PSA of The Week: Smokey the Bear's extended family loves fashionable hats and impromptu fires.



Today's public service announcements are all information and no imagination--but yesteryear's? Those were full of drama, plot lines, and cameos from B-grade celebrities, all wedged into one minute of absolute fantasticness.

Consider this a trip back in time to when PSAs were sometimes worth watching more than the Saturday morning cartoons.

Today:  Bears can be jerks, too.





Random Thoughts and Questions:
1.)  Okay, who hopped up Junior on a six pack of Red Bull and a bag of Swizzle Stix before the picnic?
2.)  Important BBQ Tip: White picket fences aren't just a suburban stereotype. They also make for an impromptu, casual fire.
3.)  The family in the house is emotionless. You usually only see such performances from a stellar Parisian street corner mimes.
4.)  I'm not sure anyone begrudges Father Bear if he's drinking honey-flavored whiskey to nurse the pain.
5.)  There's no debating Father Bear's wearing a rakish fedora.
6.)  Why is Smokey the Bear silent in this ad? Where's the intervention? Sounds like someone is an enabler to family!
