12 Reasons Why The Big Comfy Couch Was A Great Part Of Our Childhood

The Big Comfy Couch was one of the best TV shows of our childhood. Way before clowns were running through the neighborhoods looking to hurt people, our TV shows made clowns seem lovable and fun. The Big Comfy Couch was on the air from 1992-2006 so many of us grew up with Loonette the Clown and her doll friend, Molly. Here are 12 reasons why 'The Big Comfy Couch' was a great part of our childhood.

1. The theme song was classic

I can still sing all the words at 20 years old.

2. Molly’s thought bubbles were the best and relatable

3. The clock stretches


I was that child who got on the floor and did Loonette's exact moves

4. Important life lessons were taught

5. Fuzzy and Wuzzy, the dust bunnies who were so cute. You're lying if you say you didn't want one as a pet

6. Loonette's reading glasses made glasses so much cooler

7. The random things she pulled out of her couch were entertaining

but we never questioned why she had things, like a brick, in her couch

8. The Molly Dolly was owned by mostly every kid growing up

Mine is in my closet and I refuse to ever get rid of it

9. Her clean up time was equally as magical as Mary Poppins'

10. Loonette's dance moves though...

The one's where she is actually on her feet will make you laugh until you cry

11. Loonette was played by the same girl for 10 years before someone else took over but the audience didn't notice which adds on to the greatness of the show

*cough cough* at Halloweentown thinking they can just switch out Marnie's actress for the last film.. yes, we noticed and yes, we're still mad.

12. The other characters were just as great as Loonette and Molly

The Foley Family, Granny Garbanzo, Snicklefritz, Auntie Macassar, Major Bedhead, Uncle Chester, and Wobbly, just to name a few.


This show was truly so simple but brought so much happiness to the lives of the kid's who watched it. Thank you Big Comfy Couch for being such a great part of my childhood.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
