There are several plans to rejuvenate the show's viewer-ship (including talks of possibly airing "Bear in the Big Blue House" via syndication on a new network). Plus there are plans for more DVD releases, a new "Bear" album, some new merchandise and possibly a new traveling stage show.

But wait there's more... rumor has it that the executives in charge of the franchise are considering taking Bear to the big screen with a Bear movie.

There are no solid details finalized on any of this upcoming projects in this renaissance of Bear, but expect big things for the crew of the Big Blue House in '07. Official announcements and details on all these projects are expected to start rolling out early next year.

Get ready "Bear" fans, good things are coming your way. We'll keep you posted as soon as any information on any "Bear in the Big Blue House" projects, merchandise or events surface.
