It premiered on March 2,1993 in Canada and in 1995 in the USA on public television stations across the country. The show's format revolves around Loonette the Clown, who sleeps with her doll, Molly, on the eponymous Big Comfy Couch. Episodes are generally focused on a theme or a lesson. For example, Season 3's episode \"Full of Life\" explored the concepts of \"full\" and \"empty\", while \"Sticks and Stones\" dealt with name-calling and teasing. Each episode contains several common elements. Early in each episode, Loonette performs an exercise routine she calls the \"Clock Rug Stretch\", often extended, sometimes short to save time for other surprises, fast if she's in a hurry and normal when she comes back, or in a floppy way, and toward the end, she performs a high-speed clean-up routine called the \"Ten-Second Tidy\". If, however, there is no mess made, then it is called the \"Ten-Second Untidy, Tidy\" (where Loonette has to make a mess and then clean up afterwards). If the mess was already cleaned up, then it is called the \"Ten-Second Silly\" (where Loonette has to be silly for 10 seconds). If Loonette did not make a mess but Molly did, then Molly has to do the \"Ten-Second Tidy\" with Loonette's help. Other oft-repeated elements include reading a story to Molly, who sometimes either chooses a story to hear, gives Loonette a book and glasses (often by holding the book and wearing reading glasses), or turning on the lights for Loonette, visits to various places in \"Clowntown\", and a trip to Granny Garbanzo's garden. Here she encounters Snicklefritz, Granny Garbanzo's cat; Major Bedhead, the local mail-delivery clown, who travels on a unicycle; and of course, Granny Garbanzo herself. The conversation with Granny Garbanzo is often used as the episode's \"teachable moment\", where Granny offers Loonette advice or lessons, often with the help of Major Bedhead, who delivers gifts and messages from Auntie Macassar or Uncle Chester. All episodes end with Loonette and Molly having a nap and sometimes reminding the viewers to remember the rules on today's episode. In season 7, Loonette and Molly play the dream game and Molly gave out the letter that the dream starts with and provide what they will be dreaming about. Along with the lessons and problem-solving sequences, imaginative play is also emphasized. These episodes often take place in the context of a \"visit to Clowntown\", with sites such as Granny Garbanzo's \"Cabbage Club Cooking School\" and Major Bedhead's \"Clown Chi Mojo Dojo and Dancing School\". Additionally, Loonette is gifted in the art of classical dance and runs \"Miss Loonette's Dance Academy\". In early episodes, Loonette was too young to visit Clowntown alone, but in later seasons, she makes frequent (adult supervised) trips to Clowntown, and volunteers at the \"Clowndergarten\", where she teaches \"little clowns\" (played by young children) games, songs, and stories. This imaginative play was also demonstrated through dress-up games and through Loonette's dollhouse, in which she imagined the adventures of \"The Foley Family\". Shown first as a doll-sized family, in Loonette's imagination they would become a family of regular-sized clowns, whose actions were shown in high speed and with a musical background in the style of old silent movies. The Foleys (a mother, father and son) did not speak. An alternative version of \"The Foley Family\" segment is the dust bunnies who lived under the big comfy couch, on which Loonette and Molly are sitting, and play together on other kinds of play scenarios such as working together, seeing new things, and playing games. In \"Full of Life\", they discovered that the couch is missing and decided to play in a paper bag instead. The show was originally produced by Radical Sheep Productions and Owl Communications, then Canadian children's television network YTV, with a run of 65 episodes. In 2002, 13 new episodes were produced with Benny Smart, an American children's television production company, Tadpole TV and Treehouse TV, a companion channel of YTV, and the Nashville Public Television. Radical Sheep Productions and Amity Entertainment in association with Treehouse TV and Nashville Public Television, produced 22 additional episodes, which debuted on American Public Television in 2006. This marked the debut of Ramona Gilmour-Darling as Loonette, replacing Alyson Court. Additional items for kids, like coloring pages, can be found on the Big Comfy Couch website. Episodes also can be seen on video on demand in some cable and satellite systems on Studio 4 Kids, as well as in short-form on Studio4kids. tv."@en , "Le Monde de Loonette (The Big Comfy Couch) est une s\u00E9rie t\u00E9l\u00E9vis\u00E9e pour enfants r\u00E9alis\u00E9e par Wayne Moss et Robert Mills, cr\u00E9\u00E9 le 2 mars 1993 au Canada.
