The Big Comfy Couch

250px March 2, 1992 – December 29, 2006

Summary

Loonette the clown and her doll Molly live on a giant couch and have adventures together. Loonette would typically do the clock rug stretch and sometimes visit Ms. Loonette's Dance Academy. Then, Loonette and Molly would visit Granny Garbonzo and her cat Snickelfritz.  Major Bedhead would then stop by and give packages and postcards from Auntie Macassar or Uncle Chester. In the final season of the show, Loonette and Molly would go to Clown Town to places such as Major Bedhead's Thai Chi Dojo, Granny Garbonzo's Cooking School, and/or Clowndergarten. Each episode would end with either Loonette playing The Alphabet Game or Molly going to Doll School, then Loonette reads a story, followed by a fast cleanup routine called the ten second tidy, and finally take a nap.
