The episodes "Ping Pong Polka", "Juggling the Jitters", "Wrong Side of the Couch", and "I Feel Good" have a cuckoo-clock routine during Loonette's clock rug stretch, accompanied by a new song.In four episodes ("Upsey Downsey Day", "Something's Fishy Around Here", "Ping Pong Polka", and "Snug as a Bug") of season 1, as well as the original intro sequence for both seasons 1 and 2, Molly wears yellow instead of her trademark blue dress.Starting with season 2, each episode begins after they've already woken up. Also, the episodes would originally begin with Loonette and Molly waking up, before Loonette greets the viewer.In several episodes of season 1, the background color behind the couch was either orange or blue, instead of the traditional pink.Early Installment Weirdness: The first season is the biggest topper of this trope:.

The Doll Episode: Done almost every episode in the first 5 seasons with a family in a dollhouse named The Foleys.Death Is a Sad Thing: Loonette experiences this with a caterpillar in the episode "Full of Life.".She is an adorable little dolly who communicates through head shakes and thought bubbles. Crossover: The Dustbunny and Foley Family segments both crossed over when Loonette mistook one of the Dustbunnies for a doll and put it in the dollhouse.Invariably, this is accompanied by a clucking sound. Clucking Funny: Loonette pulls a rubber chicken out of the couch in a lot of episodes.Clapper Gag: Loonette and Molly will clap to turn on the lamp before reading a story and then clap again to turn it off afterwards.Catchphrase: "Special delivery/package/postcard for Loonette (the Clown)!" from Major Bedhead and "Hey.who made this big mess?!" from Loonette.To cheer her up, the gang takes her to Clowntown for a grand celebration. Granny Garbanzo celebrates her mirthday in "Happy Mirthday, Granny", but is feeling homesick from being away from the "old country".Major Bedhead celebrates his mirthday in "Don't Tell", with the gang throwing him a Surprise Party.Later, she gives Molly a doll companion of her own (a doll version of Loonette, renamed "Bloomette"). Molly later has a "mirthday" in "Where Do Clowns Come From?" in which Loonette recalls the first time they met.

Afterwards, all birthdays are referred to as "mirthdays", somewhat disregarding the events of said episode (see "Early Installment Weirdness" below).
