Bear in the Big Blue House was a puppet TV series made by the Jim Henson Company for Playhouse Disney. The show debuted in 1997 and ended in 2006.
The show aired episodes regularly until 2003, when the actress for the character Luna, Lynne Thigpen, had suddenly died, and the show was put on hiatus. In the meantime, Breakfast with Bear aired in its place. The show later returned in 2006 to air its last 8 episodes.
The entire series was recorded in Polish and is available for viewing online, though payment is required to view anything past the 10 minute mark.
Premise
The show focused on the adventures of Bear and his friends as they explored the town of Woodland Valley. They would encounter a problem in each episode, which would often be solved with the help of family members and friends.
The show was very similar in style to Mister Roger's Neighborhood. Each episode had a different theme, with segments flowing from one to another, and each episode usually having at least one unique song. Every episode had a segment with Shadow, a living shadow girl played by Tara Mooney, and a segment with Luna, the Moon, played by Lynne Thigpen.
Availability
2 of the show's episodes are currently missing their complete English dubs. Of these, one has partially resurfaced, with the other remaining completely lost.
