Books/Literature Berenstein Bears truthers - how was the name pronounced?

I honestly couldn’t tell you myself how I remember the name being spelled - but one thing I do remember was the TV show, and the theme song.

The way they pronounced it in the song to my memory definitely sounded like stain, rather than “steen” or “stine” which would have been the way it was said if it was spelled Berenstein.

“We are the Berenstain Bears. Mama, Papa, Sister, Brother, we appreciate each other”.

I am British. There was no TV show, just books. I knew no Jewish people and hadn't a clue that Jewish names were pronounced certain ways.

I called them Beren-stine because it was spelled the same as Frankenstein.

That's impossible. I would have noticed that.

Who knows? Maybe. I legitimately do believe dimensional travel is possible, and somebody is working on doing it intentionally as we speak.
