The Dr. Beanson Show

The Dr. Beanson Show is an American-Canadian television series created by Robert Stainton and Doug Langdale.
== Production ==
In 1996, Chris-Craft Industries commissioned a compilation series using footage from Dr. Beanson to 20th Century Fox Television, both companies agreed to make a 2 season compilation series of Dr. Beanson to air on UPN Kids starting in 1997, the series would air on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am and have heavy marketing around it on TNBC, Think CBS Kids, Disney's One Saturday Morning, Fox Kids and Kids' WB. the series premiered on September 7, 1997, the series was a success in ratings, even rivaling regular UPN programming such as Moesha and Star Trek: Voyager at times.
A third season was never produced, as UPN had made a contract with The Walt Disney Company to make a block on UPN to replace UPN Kids named "Disney's One Too", and Disney did not want a series made by one of their competitors (in this case Fox) to air on their block and the other reason was due to Doug Langdale leaving when production of Season 2 wrapped up to work on his own series, The Weekenders, which coincidentally also aired on Disney's One Too.
