Changes: Episode 203: The Big Sleep

Revision as of 04:37, 9 January 2020

Bear in the Big Blue House

Written by	Andy Yerkes
Director	Mitchell Kriegman
Theme	Bedtime

It's nighttime at the Big Blue House and Bear is all set to sit on his swing and read a good book. Then, Ojo shows up --- it turns out that there's a sleepover scheduled tonight that Bear completely forgot about. Before he knows it, Tutter, Ojo, Treelo, Pip and Pop are all there and ready for the big sleepover, despite his protests that they're not ready. He tries to settle back down to his book, but there's a lot to do during a sleepover. He prepares the kids a snack, reads them a story and supervises as they all brush their teeth. Finally, everyone is ready to go to bed, after some final, special good-night touches. Ojo has difficulty getting to sleep, but eventually dozes, only to be awakened by a bad dream. Bear soothes her back to sleep and then finds Shadow. Shadow sings her own special version of the lullaby "Hush, Little Baby."

Songs

Notes

The title of this episode is a reference to Raymond Chandler's 1939 novel The Big Sleep. In the novel, the phrase refers to death, not sleep itself.
Tutter holds a sleepover of his own in the fourth season episode "Tutter's First Big Sleepover Bash."
This is the second time that the "Goodbye Song" is sung at the Otter pond.
This is the only episode that the horse picture where Bear sees Shadow is not on the wall.
Throughout the episode, it is night, but during "Brush Brush Bree", it is daytime outside. This may be a side-effect of using pre-filmed footage, as the song was used several times throughout the series, this being its first appearance.
