Does anyone remember a television show called "BJ & the Bear"? It starred Greg Evigan and a chimpanzee. Also, how about a show that starred a character named Sheriff LoBo?

omg, yes I remember it well. Sheriff LoBo was on B.J. & the Bear.
Aired: 1979 - 1981
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US
Show Summary: B.J. McCay was a good-looking young trucker who traveled around the country in his big red & white rig, with a single companion - his pet chimp, Bear. B.J. was based in rural Georgia and was confronted by a succession of corrupt local sheriffs - Elroy P. Lobo (who was later given his own series, Lobo); Sgt. Wiley of Winslow County and his two fellow lawmen, Sheriffs Cain and Masters. The only honest cop B.J. seemed to encounter was the Fox, who spent much of her time trying to trap the crooked local cops. Tommy was a lady trucker friend and Bullets ran the local hangout, the Country Comfort Truck Stop.In 1981, B.J. settled down to run a trucking business in Los Angeles called Bear Enterprises. His new adversary was Rutherford T. Grant, a corrupt politician who headed the state Special Crimes Action Team. Grant was a silent partner in TransCal, the largest trucking firm in California and stopped at nothing to stomp out potential competition. Because of Grant's intervention, B.J. found it impossible to get regular truck drivers to work for him and had to settle for a crew of 7 young, beautiful lady truckers, including a pair of identical twins and Grant's daughter, Cindy.
THE MISADVENTURES OF SHERIFF LOBO
Aired: 1979 - 1981

Yeah, remember them both. Good shows. The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo starred Claude Akins and was a spinoff of B. J. and the Bear.
