[edit] Redirect

Not really sure how to set up a redirect, but this should be redirected to a page entitled "Rupert Bear", as the name of the original character is "Rupert Bear", not "Rupert the Bear". Perhaps someone a little more experienced with this sort of thing can help?

An interesting point, except someone else has already redirected "Rupert Bear" to "Rupert the Bear", maybe I'll reverse them later. -- VederJuda 18:13, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

A very good point indeed, I have moved them over. Thanks for pointing this out. Jackliddle 20:40, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh my god, I always thought Rupert was a mouse. :( -- Voretus the Benevolent 05:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nelvana TV Series

This article, as well as many TV Guides (such as tv.com) list only 65 episodes of this show; there were actually 66. When Nelvana started doing the series by themselves, they produced an extra episode that goes between seasons 3 and 4; it was a standard clip show called "Rupert's Adventures" in which the professor showed of his latest invention, the Story Extractor, which could display videos based on a picture that was entered into it, so Rupert brought along a scrap album. The episode showed scenes from the Ellipse-Nelvana years, and at the end, the machine overloads and shows some images of season 4. I only found out about this episode when I saw it on TV; I guess it's rarely shown, and since the show is somewhat recent, but still has a few years on it, nobody bothers to hunt down any "missing" episodes, thinking all of them are already listed. -- VederJuda 02:17, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feel the Magic Episodes

Do we need a list of when F T M... was repeated. why don't we just put a list of episodes? -- Monitartar 19:07, 17 August 2007

I agree, it's not noteworthy when a particluar episode was repeated, the most that would be worth mentioning is the episodes, and the original air date. -- VederJuda 17:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1986

There was an tv series in 1986 that is not mentioned here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179607/

[edit] Rupert The Bear

When I read these cartoons as a child it was always Rupert The Bear not Rupert Bear. I think it would be better to name the article Rupert The Bear. I assume Rupert Bear is a more recent naming, perhaps from televison. I mean, not only did my grandmother read them to me, but I also had the Annuals - so I ought to know!

The cartoons have apparantly been around since the 1920's, TV is much more recent. I think more weight ought to be given to the paper cartoons. To me, and probably many other people, their images also defined an ideal english countryside, the type of countryside that was regarded as most beautiful.

And, since this is a british character should'nt his trousers be referred to as being tartan and not plaid? Plaid, meaning tartan, is an Americanism not used in UK. If its going to be plaid, why not say plaid "pants" rather thjan trousers?

Plus, the Oz trial could be mentioned. 80.0.132.197 20:56, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
