Breakfast with Bear was a television series featuring Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House. It aired as part of Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney programming block from June 20, 2005 until September 15, 2006.

In each episode, Bear would visit the home of a real preschooler and follow the child's morning routine, often beginning with a surprise wake-up call from Bear, and featuring Bear and his friend enjoying breakfast and getting to school.

The show was broken up and stretched out over an hour-long programming block that included other Playhouse Disney shows, such as "Shane's Kindergarten Countdown" and "Captain Carlos." The other shows in the programming block varied in length, so the framing sequences of the hour-long Breakfast with Bear series only totaled between 10 to 15 minutes of original content per episode.

Four original songs were written for the show and were featured in every episode. Three of the songs were released on a Playhouse Disney CD in October 2005.

Each episode opened with the show's theme song "Hey, It's a Brand New Day" sung by Bear over a montage of clips from various episodes as he walked the neighborhood he was visiting. Bear would greet the viewer and announce who he was visiting that day; often followed by him knocking on the door and being greeted by the child's parent who welcomed him into the home.

Bear would then go to wake up the child and greet them. He'd sing "The Morning Mambo" and dance as he encouraged the child to stretch and get their body moving after waking up.

After some banter with the child, the two would go to make breakfast. "The Breakfast Song," listing various breakfast foods, was sung by Bear as they prepared their meal. Bear and the child would then eat breakfast and talk about the foods they were having.

The fourth song, "Get Ready," was sung by Bear as the child got ready for school -- including picking out their clothes, getting dressed, brushing their teeth, washing their face, combing their hair, and putting on their shoes. Afterwards, the pair would do an activity as they waited to go to school, such as play a game, show off a skill, make a craft, or do a household chore. Throughout the series this included Bear doing such things as jumping on a trampoline, playing hide-and-seek, sitting on a swing, playing hopscotch and jump rope, pretending to be a superhero, playing baseball and soccer, making friendship bracelets, feeding household pets, and learning how to hula-hoop and juggle.

The episodes concluded with Bear saying goodbye and singing a reprise of the theme song "Hey, It's a Brand New Day."
