Trivia
The 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 credits
In 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"

Fun stuff for kids!

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!
