Molly the Dolly - The personal doll
and friend of Loonette the Clown on the award
winning educational program for preschoolers,
THE BIG COMFY COUCH/SYN/PBS/1992.
Alyson Court played Loonette, an energetic
clown, who sat on a big, comfy green couch with
a floral print and played with her best friend,
a doll named Molly Dolly (manipulated by Bob
Stutt).
Together Loonette and Molly played games, read
stories and participated in imaginative
activities that taught sharing and caring for
others.
Molly was a miniature version of Loonette -
without the hat. Molly didn't speak, but
communicated by moving her arms and legs and
pointing at things.
Loonette and Molly made a special guest
appearance on an installment of THE ROSIE
O'DONNELL SHOW on January 18, 1999. Host Rosie
O'Donnell dressed up to look like Loonette and
sat and played with her and Molly on "The Big
Comfy Couch."
The series was inspired by an idea by Cheryl
Wagner and produced by Radical Sheep Productions
- based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Radical
Sheep Shop, headed by Karen Valleau, built and
performed all the puppets and props seen on
program.
