Season 4

  • E5 Spare Some Change Loonette is upset that her name isn't in a book of names. So she decides to change her name to Sarsaparilla, and also to change the look of the couch and herself. It proves absolutely unfabulous to Major Bedhead and to Granny Garbanzo, who has tried to spruce up her cart. Before long, both Granny and Loonette decide, ""Out with the new and in with the old.""
  • E13 Comfy and Joy It's the Longest Night of the Year, a big holiday in Clowntown, and that means Loonette and Molly get to stay up all night with the others. Everyone exchanges gifts at Granny Garbanzo's cart, learns to appreciate the entire year, and sees heart-felt thanks.

Season 5

  • E2 Clownvitations 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.
  • E3 Nothing to Do 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.
  • E5 One Potato Two Potato 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.
  • E6 Earth to Loonette 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.""
  • E7 Lettuce, Turnip and Pea 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.
  • E8 Time for Molly 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.
  • E9 Gizmo Shmizmo 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.
  • E10 Clothes Make the Clown 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.
  • E11 Don't Tell Granny Garbanzo is hodling a surprise party for Major Bedhead's mirthday. Everyone has to keep it a secret, including Loonette, who finds it a challenge. But she also learns that there are certain secrets you don't keep.
  • E12 You're a Gem! 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.
  • E13 Lots to Doodle-Do A compilation of favorite songs heard in the first five seasons. Packaged by American Public Television for stations' pledge drives.

Season 6

  • E1 Clowning in the Rain 2002-03-10 It looks like a dismal day. Rain has leaked through a hole in Loonette's roof. But a good stretch on her clock rug changes her outlook on life. Once the rain stops, she and Molly take part in the ""rainbow puddle hop"" with all the other clowns. And that includes the newly-arrived Uncle Chester, who gives Loonette steel wool to help patch her roof.
  • E5 It's the Thought That Counts 2003-05-07 Loonette searches all through the couch for her ""McGuffin,"" whatever it is. Molly wants to help, but Loonette interprets this as a hindrance. Out in the garden, Loonette is on the flip side when she and Major Bedhead want to help Granny Garbanzo fix her roof.
  • E7 Donut Let It Get You Down 2003-05-09 Every clown and cat is ready to run an obstacle course at Granny Garbanzo's garden. Molly is out to win it again this year, but she hasn't worked out. When Snicklefritz edges out Molly for the top honor, Loonette has to cheer Molly up.
  • E9 The Big Bang Boom 2003-05-13 It's midsummer, time for The Big Bang Boom. A festive holiday indeed, but not for Molly, who is afraid of the fireworks display. Loonette bulldozes Molly to the party at Granny Garbanzo's garden, at which Major Bedhead fires off the big fireworks. It takes a while, but Loonette discovers why Molly is frightened. Once again, Loonette gets a lesson in compassion.
  • E10 Ain't It Amazing, Gracie? 2003-05-14 Molly digs through the couch in search of a miner's hat–which she is wearing. But it's not the only missing object around. Major Bedhead has lost his delivery bag. This requires a special visit from Uncle Chester.
  • E11 Between the Covers 2003-05-15 Loonette has dug out every book in the couch, looking for something new to read. When she goes next door, Major Bedhead delivers a huge sack of books, but all for Granny Garbanzo. All Loonette receives are a bookmark and a postcard from Uncle Chester, who sings the song ""I Can Read.""
  • E12 Going Up 2003-05-16 Loonette is worried that she is not growing as fast as she would like. Few things can shake her from this mood, but a surprising seed, bearing fast-growing flowers, will.
  • E13 Cool It! 2003-05-19 A heat wave has emerged in Clowntown. All the clowns are fighting not only the heat, but a few hot tempers as well. Only a package from Uncle Chester can cool off a few hot heads.
