Was Claud Akins the star of BJ & the Bear, and does anyone know if its on anywhere? I'm looking for the show that Akins starred as a crooked Sheriff in some small town in the south.

Claude Akins played Sheriff Elroy P. Lobo on B.J. And The Bear. I don't know for sure if B.J. And The Bear is playing anywhere now or not but I kind of Doubt that it is.

Don't know if you are still here but I'll answer it. The show you are probably thinking of is the spin-off called Lobo. It was at one time syndicated with BJ and The Bear under the title The BJ/Lobo Show. I haven't seen it in reruns since the 1980's.

Greg Evigan starred as B.J. McCay, a truck driver. Bear was his pet chimp.
Evigan also sang the theme song. He later starred in MY TWO DADS and
William Shatner's TEKWAR.

If I'm not mistaken, Lobo was a good guy on his own show. He had a bumbling deputy named Perkins. Lobo was more the bad guy when he was on B.J. and the Bear because he gave B.J. a hard time.

hi, here is where the confussion maybe about claude akins. he starred on the series movin on with frank converse. movin on was a show about truckers that was very similar to bj & the bear. raines also played sheriff lobo on bj & the bear which then spunoff into the sheriff lobo series. if anyone is interested i have 32 episodes of movin on. thanks stoogedog

The Misadventures Of Sheriff Lobo was the official title of the spinoff series. It's much harder to find than BJ and the Bear. Another spinoff of BJ was Enos with Sonny Shroyer. It's the hardest to find.

I wish this show would come to TV Land

Enos was a spin-off from The Dukes Of Hazzard not B.J. and the Bear.
