Big Comfy Couch Season 5 - Episode Guide, Ratings & Streaming

Molly wakes up with tangles in her hair, but she won't let Loonette comb them out. Rather than face the music, Molly ties a rain hat tight to her head. Loonette has to ask for help, but Granny Garbanzo is too wrapped up with Snicklefritz's stubbornness. The biggest surprise of all occurs when Major Bedhead arrives with shaggy hair down to his hips. When everyone tells him how that long hair could cause problems, Granny proceeds to cut his hair.

Loonette feels left out when Snicklefritz establishes a club house that excludes females. Granny convinces her to start a new club of their own, called The Cookie Club. This naturally draws Snicklefritz's and Major Bedhead's attention. When they are invited, Loonette gives Granny an invitation to perform at the Dance Academy.

Loonette finds everything in the couch to be boring. This foul mood seems to spill into her entire day, until Auntie Macassar sends a ""Boredom-Buster Box"" with instructions. It works: with a few common items, Loonette, Granny Garbanzo, and Major Bedhead set their imaginations going.

Loonette has become dreadfully forgetful. She can't remember what she wanted to say to Molly. Once in Granny Garbanzo's garden, others give suggestions to help Loonette remember.

Loonette takes a stinking potato over to Granny Garbanzo's garden. When Granny shows a silly-looking potato (shaped like a duck), Loonette is amazed. She, Major Bedhead, and Snicklefritz soon use the potato in a game of keep-away, but the potato busts on them. They try to blame somebody else before Granny confronts them, at which time they own up to their mistake.

Loonette is busy daydreaming, ultimately driven by the smell of borscht brownies. But when Loonette's daydreaming almost leads to a serious accident, Major Bedhead sings a song about paying attention. Auntie Macassar gives Loonette and Molly google-eyed glasses as part of their membership in the Lert Club for Clowns. Back at the couch, Loonette and Molly take the pledge: ""I'll always be a-lert.""

In preparation for a big dance, Loonette practices her best wiggly moves. What she doesn't notice is Molly's weird wiggles. It turns out Molly has wet the couch. Now it's up to Loonette to tell Molly not to have embarrassments get the better of her.

Loonette is engrossed in holding a ""me"" parade for people to notice her. But she doesn't notice Molly trying to get her attention. Unruffled, Loonette tries to hold her parade in Granny Garbanzo's garden, but every clown and cat pays no attention to her. Feeling left out, Loonette sings ""A-Ways Away"" in hopes of a place where every clown gets the attention she deserves.

Loonette has installed a couch gizmo that will fetch her toys for her. But the gizmo malfunctions, spitting out ping-pong balls at an enormous rate. She tries to get Major Bedhead to help, but he shows off his own gizmo, which doesn't work either. Granny tells them (through a song) that it's better to rely on one's mind than on machines.

What's the best thing to wear on a nice fall day? Both Molly and Major Bedhead have unconventional ways to keep warm. Fortunately for Molly, Auntie Macassar sends her a pink angora sweater.

Loonette is obsessed with finding a gem. First she digs into the couch and pulls out a doorknob. Going into Granny's garden, Loonette, along with Major Bedhead, learn that friends are far more valuable than gems.
