Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe name of the character Auntie Macassar is a play on the term "antimacassar," which refers (fittingly for a "big comfy couch") to a cloth placed on the headrest area of a couch or chair; it can also refer to similar cloths used on the arms of a chair. The term comes from the practice of men slicking down their hair with macassar oil, which was in vogue during the 19th century. The oil would stain couches and chairs if slicked-down hair came into contact with the headrest, so an antimacassar cloth helped prevent those stains.
- Crazy creditsIn every episode during the end credits, the camera is facing at the couch with the night sky. Loonette appears at the end saying "And the clown jumped over the moon"
- ConnectionsFeatured in Bob: Dreams of Felt and Googly Eyes (2019)
Featured review
Kids *LOVE* this show!
I don't know how long this show has been running, but I hope Loonette lasts until my kids are too old to watch. I have a 3.5 year old and a 1 year old, and they are rivetted to the tv during this show.
Loonette the Clown, her Grandma Garbanzo Clown, Major Bedhead the mailman, and the other characters teach such things as responsibility (at least once in each show, Loonette asks "Who made this big mess? ME?? then I have to clean it up, it's only fair!"), helping others, telling the truth, etc. I read the other review for this show and had to laugh. Of course adults aren't meant to take it seriously - it's not geared towards us - it's geared towards pre-schoolers and babies. The show has plenty of educational value - it won't teach you the alphabet or counting to 20, but it teaches VALUES and how to interact with others.
I think the imagination and creativity demonstrated by this show is admirable and definitely strikes the right chord with kids, who can't get enough of the Big Comfy Couch (my kids want one now... unfortunately, our house isn't big enough!). Thumbs up from the kids!
