Big Comfy Couch(1993–2006)

Babs in Toyland

Auntie Macassar sends Loonette a doll named Babs. Immediately, Loonette lavishes attention on her (""She's so cute!""), leaving Molly feel left out. It takes a while, but Loonette expresses her friendship to Molly with the song ""The Best Friend I've Ever Had.""

1-2-3 Dizzy Dizzy Me

Loonette helps Molly to count, in part with a pretend ride in a pretend plane. Trouble is, Molly becomes dizzy. Loonette is in need of a cure, and Auntie Macassar's postcard may recommend one.

Wobbly

Nothing seems to go right for Loonette. There is nothing in the couch, except for a duck that she thinks is broken. Is it just one of those days? Maybe she needs a comforting word from a guest clown named Wobbly.

Jump Start

Loonette is in a jumping mood. She and Molly jump over to the garden at the start of a rainstorm. They soon discover Major Bedhead is scared of lightning. In an effort to cheer him up, Loonette tells a story about an elephant and a giant bean.

This Little Piggy

Loonette becomes greedy when she discovers all the coins she has in her piggy bank. She is especially overcome by her ""lucky loonie."" When she takes this loonie outside, Snicklefritz and then Major Bedhead frown on her greedy ways. She then realizes that friends are worth more than money.

Juggling the Jitters

Loonette wants to stage a Jumbo Juggling Jamboree, but when she realizes she can't juggle, she gets overcome with ""the jitters.""

Hoopla

After searching for her ball, Loonette goes over to Granny Garbanzo's garden to help make cabbage rolls. A hoop, sent from Auntie Macassar, comes with the song ""Go With The Flow,"" about trying things out.

Wrong Side of the Couch

Loonette is in a growly mood from waking up on the wrong side of the couch (i.e., behind the couch). It takes a great deal of effort and brains for her to lose that grumpy feeling.

I Feel Good

Loonette and Molly want to know more about their bodies. They learn that feeling good and looking good can often compliment each other. At Granny Garbanzo's garden, Loonette and Granny help Major Bedhead get rid of his spare tire–which he wore in case his unicycle went flat.

Boomerang

Loonette is full of tricks today. She fools Molly with a boomerang during a game of ""catch."" Outside, she plays a trick on Major Bedhead. But Granny Garbanzo will not let herself be fooled.

Rude-I-Culous

First Molly and then Loonette have what they think is a riot with rude faces and noises. It takes a musical lecture from Granny to tell Loonette that there is a time and a place to be rude.

Make It Snappy

Loonette is in haste. Neither Molly nor Major Bedhead cares to do anything except at a slow pace. Will Auntie Macassar's gift change things?

Pie in the Sky

Loonette and Molly spend the day discovering light and heavy things. After reading a story about a balloon, Loonette finds a balloon of her own, which she thinks can lift her off the ground. She's too heavy, of course, but the balloon does lift Molly off the couch and into the garden.

Pinch to Grow an Inch

Molly's birthday is approaching. She and Loonette hold a birthday party with games and costumes. They also have fun with big things compared to little things, particularly with a story about a gigantic cupcake.

All Aboard For Bed

The show opens with a flashback: Loonette and Molly can't sleep. They venture around their house during the dark before Loonette reads her about a Sleep Train's magical adventure. The next day, Loonette discovers Major Bedhead asleep on the job.

Knit One Twirl Too

When Molly catches a cold while skiing, Loonette decides to knit her some new mittens. But when the yarn becomes a tangled mess, Loonette abandons the task and retreats to Granny Garbanzo's garden. Granny tells a story of how she had to practice knitting as a child. This gives Loonette the confidence to keep on trying.

Upsey Downsey Day

Loonette gives Molly a special heart balloon, but after a short amount of play, the balloon flies away. At Granny Garbanzo's garden, Loonette, Granny, and Major Bedhead have fun playing circus with a single rope. At the end of the circus routine, the heart balloon returns to Loonette, which brightens Molly's day.

Flippy Floppy Fun

When Molly flops over on her back, Loonette criticizes her for being lazy. But Loonette gets into a floppy mood, first by imitating a toy, and then by reading a story about a Poppy growing all by herself.

Something's Fishy Around Here

Loonette and Molly make-believe they are fishing on a boat, complete with lifejackets. With so much inactivity out on the pretend lake, Molly has to learn patience.

Scrub-a-Dub

There's a big mess over at the couch. Unbeknownst to her, Loonette has brought an entire roll of toilet paper from her shoe to the couch. The pile-up is enormous. But that's not nearly as colossal as the big package Auntie Macassar sent. Beneath all the packing material are a few tiny cleaning items. With that search ended, Loonette and Major Bedhead, along with Granny Garbanzo, go into a routine called ""Slam-Dunk Your Junk.""

Red Light, Green Light

It's time for a few stop-and-go games, plus a pretend ride in Loonette's pretend car.

Gesundheit

Loonette starts out with a bad case of nosus kaboomis, a monster sneeze. She decides to vacuum the room, prompting Molly to retrieve the dust bunnies trapped in the vacuum cleaner. Outside, Loonette's monster sneeze helps Major Bedhead get his head out of a tuba. She then flies a kite and reads from the storybook to discover the power of wind.

Ping Pong Polka

An energetic Loonette promises to read Molly a story, but she gets too distracted with all the bouncy things in the couch (and a few that don't bounce). When a ping pong ball bounces away, Loonette follows it outside, where Major Bedhead delivers a box of ping-pong balls.

Funny Faces

Loonette shows her feelings with her face and compliments Molly's good looks. When they see that Granny Garbanzo has received a movie from her relatives, they watch and discover good feelings abroad.

Give Yer Head a Shake

Loonette has to teach Molly that there are certain times when the word ""no"" is used. Snicklefritz learns this the hard way after his wild ways cause Major Bedhead to hurt his knee. Near the end of the program, Loonette reads an extended version of Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Bad Hair Day

Molly wakes up with tangles in her hair, but she won't let Loonette comb them out. Rather than face the music, Molly ties a rain hat tight to her head. Loonette has to ask for help, but Granny Garbanzo is too wrapped up with Snicklefritz's stubbornness. The biggest surprise of all occurs when Major Bedhead arrives with shaggy hair down to his hips. When everyone tells him how that long hair could cause problems, Granny proceeds to cut his hair.

Clowning in the Rain

It looks like a dismal day. Rain has leaked through a hole in Loonette's roof. But a good stretch on her clock rug changes her outlook on life. Once the rain stops, she and Molly take part in the ""rainbow puddle hop"" with all the other clowns. And that includes the newly-arrived Uncle Chester, who gives Loonette steel wool to help patch her roof.

Molly's Bellybutton

Backwards!

It's National Backwards Day, and every clown is performing something backward. In the process, Loonette learns how someone can accurately scracth an itch on one's back.

Picky Eaters

Molly refuses to eat her food, so it's up to Loonette to make Molly eat her food.

Forty Winks

It's nap time for Molly, but she doesn't want to take a nap. Can Loonette find a way to get Molly to snooze, or will everyone fall asleep on her?

Swing-a-Ling

Loonette is in a swinging mood, practicing her golf, her tennis, and her baseball. She takes Molly to a swing at Granny Garbanzo's garden, where a couple of close calls prompt Major Bedhead to tell a story on playing safely.

Spare Some Change

Loonette is upset that her name isn't in a book of names. So she decides to change her name to Sarsaparilla, and also to change the look of the couch and herself. It proves absolutely unfabulous to Major Bedhead and to Granny Garbanzo, who has tried to spruce up her cart. Before long, both Granny and Loonette decide, ""Out with the new and in with the old.""

Stuck in the Muck

Loonette and Molly have fun making up rhymes and pictures. After a bath, Loonette reads a rhyming tale about a sheep who got stuck while climbing a mountain.

Gimme Gimme Never Gets

Loonette is in a grabby mood en route to a treasure hunt inside the couch. Molly finds a gem in the couch, and Loonette takes it from her. Moly gets really sad and Loonette can't figure out why. Later she finds out. She lets Molly have the gem and tells a story about how manner matter.

One Step at a Time

Loonette wants Molly to know that it's important to try new things. Molly sees for herself when she climbs a stair. And Loonette sees for herself when she ventures into Granny Garbanzo's cellar for a jar of jelly.

Enough Already!

Loonette is intent on moving the couch to show Molly that they have no dust bunnies, but the couch is too big and heavy to move by herself. She tries to get help from Granny Garbanzo, but she has to rush off to Clowntown for a medicine to help an ailing Snicklefritz.

Where Do Clowns Come From?

It's Molly's mirthday, and Loonette wants to give her a companion. Before she succeeds, Loonette tells Molly the story of how they met. But that raises a dilemma: Where do clowns come from? Loonette rushes out to the garden, where Granny Garbanzo tells all.

Are You Ready For School?

Loonette wants to teach Molly about school, but she doesn't know much about it herself. Granny Garbanzo and Major Bedhead provide some insight.

Hit Parade

Not much is soft and cozy today. Molly hits a pillow viciously to try and soften it, but she gets carried away. A session of tae-clown-doe doesn't help, so Loonette must tell her in song to use words, not swinging hands, to express her feelings. They then have to teach Snicklefritz the same lesson.
