The Big Comfy Couch

This is one of my 3 year old daughter's favourite programs, and I gladly encourage her to watch it. It's a cute little show that encourages activity (the "clock" stretch, dancing), storytelling, friendship, etc. while addressing common fears and concerns of small children. I like the Foley family, too! :o)

The actress who portrays Loonette is fantastic. I totally disagree with the poster that thought a woman playing a child is creepy. I'm sorry, but I find Mr. Rogers MUCH more creepy and don't appreciate his condescension towards children. There are also a few jokes that fly over my daughter's head but get me giggling.

Two thumbs up!

It's sad that Allison Court is going to be known more for doing the voice of Jubilee on "X-Men" (yes, that's her!) than for this show, which is one of dozens of promising and solid children's shows that never got enough of a chance to catch on. Maybe in its native Canada it gets more respect, but here on the other side of the falls, an educational show is judged more by how much merchandise it sells than how much children learn from it.

For an adult, the show may look at times silly and cheesy, but to toddlers and pre-schoolers, who these shows are aimed at, it's a show that is at the same time exciting and soothing.

I find this to be a wonderful show, I can find it on my local PBS station on Saturdays at 8 am. My almost 4 yr old daughter has enjoyed this program since she was under a year old. The should bring it back and try it for another season. It must be good if kids are enjoying it a decade later!!!

I wonder why it was cancelled. Man, when I was a little girl, I loved this show..... Mollie the doll was so cute. I was always asking my mom for a Mollie doll. There were some cute puns in it, too. It was adorable. Even though I'm not 5 years old anymore, I still miss it.

The Big Comfy Couch was on Maryland's PBS when my first daughter was born. A much better show than the kid fare norm.

Not as preachy as Barney, but not as educational as Ses. Street.

Dust Bunnies kill me, and Snicklefrtiz, Major Bedhead, Lunette, and Molly all had us cracking up.

It's too bad shows like this do not have the staying power as those mentioned above.

I did track down some DVD's for my youngest daughter to enjoy.
