His favorite right now is the Tiki Room). Oh well, maybe on a trip to Florida someday...

Originally Posted By Ohana I'm not a big country music fan either, but i do miss CBJ. DL had a time when there was fun based on music like CBJ, America Sings, and live music on the TL stage. It seems now like even if they came up with a newer version of these types of shows, there isnt a great "fit" for them... AS never matched TL but i loved it anyway.
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL I liked CBJ but prefer the Vacation Hoe Down and Christmas shows over the original. Actually, I really miss the Christmas show, it made my season when it was shown here. And agree with Dr. Hans, that the technology, especially when it was new in the 70's, was better than the shows themselves.
Originally Posted By Terminus I really don't like country music, either. I think CBJ isn't like turning on the radio to a country station and listening to it, though... It's more folksy and sing-a-long-ish, if I can make up my own adjectives... I know my son and nieces and nephews would have loved it. Winnie the Pooh is not the worst thing ever, but I'd really rather have CBJ back!

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA ^^^I did work the Bears my first summer. They had switched to the Vacation Hoedown, so it wasn't the original show. Still a bit surreal, though. Seems were about the same age Hans...
