The Beary Family (also known as The Beary's Family Album) is an American animated and cartoon animal theatrical series created by Jack Hannah for Walter Lantz Productions.

[1] The series focused on Charlie Beary, the incompetent family man, his nagging wife Bessie, their well-meaning but half-witted teenage son Junior and their younger daughter Suzy, who later got a pet named Goose Beary, who never gets along with Charlie.

When Paul J. Smith became the series primary director, the concept would be significantly redeveloped.

Suzy and Goose Beary would be phased out to focus more on the dynamic between Charlie and Junior.

Animation historian Jerry Beck would include series in a list of TV cartoons that should be forgotten on Cartoon Research, claiming it had "ugly art, corny verbal gags and even cornier visuals...The groans from audiences when these cartoons came on in front of Universal features like Airport or Play Misty for Me can still be heard.
