Not many people know this, but the theme song has words, and Clint Howard sang them in one episode. The title is 'I Am The Way I Am'.

@Mandrake474 Rance Howard, who's also in Gentle Ben as Mr Boomhaur *sp, is Clint and Rons dad!

Clint Howard IS Ron Howards brother. Clint appeared a couple of times as Benji in the Andy Griffith Show and also in one episode of the Classic Batman show and even in an episode of Star Trek, 'The Corbonite Maneuver'.

I used to watch this show. For some reason, I remember one episode in particular: where Ben gets into some food samples...
They repeated this in the UK during the 1980s; for me and my friends Ben was defo the king of domesticated wild animals involved in morality tales and the prevention of petty crime. That Dolphin asswipe Flipper just didn't cut it!

This was the first time anyone had seen those fan boats.. Also they never did air the final episode where the bear goes ballistic and kills the kid and his father. Pretty nasty stuff!
