De Bereboot (The Bear Boat) is a Dutch children's puppet television programme from the 1970s written by Lo Hartog van Banda.
After De Bereboot was cancelled, the Wednesday slot changed its name into Kinderbios (Kid's Flicks) and remained for about a decade.
The images of Brom, Maatje and Brilbeer appeared on merchandise ranging from erasers to balloons; the latter even guesting in one of the episodes.
In 1991, nine year after re-runs of the first season, De Bereboot was introduced to the new generation; this time on TROS.
Later children's channel Kindernet (now Nickelodeon) took over with more success; by 2000 new merchandise was available including double VHS-tapes.
