Inhaltsbeschreibung
Der grosse Bär (deutsch gesprochen von Michael Ande, gesungen von Thomas Amper) lebt mit seinen Freunden im großen blauen Haus im Wald. Die Freunde sind Tutter (Frank Lenart), eine kleine Maus, die in einem Mauseloch in der Küche wohnt, Ojo (Veronika Neugebauer), die kleine Bärendame, deren Phantasie immer wieder neue Spiele bringt, Trilo (Miryam Neugebauer), ein Lemur, der gerne Federn sammelt, und Pip (Hubertus von Lerchenfeld) und Pop (Dominik Auer), die beiden kleinen Otter, die hinterm blauen Haus im Otterteich leben. Gemeinsam bringen sie in jeder Folge mit viel Musik, Spiel und Spaß den zuschauenden Kindern ein bestimmtes Thema näher. Volume 1 'Zeit fürs Töpfchen': Der kuschelige Bär und Tutter spielen zusammen, als Tutter Eine dringende Sache erledigen muss. Der kleine Mäuserich schafft es gerade noch rechtzeitig auf die Toilette und lernt so, dass man immer rechtzeitig auf die Toilette gehen soll und nicht vergessen darf die Hände zu waschen. Die beiden lustigen Otterzwillinge haben neue Hula-Hoop-Reifen, doch zu anfangs will es nicht so recht klappen. Aber die beiden merken schnell Übung macht den Meister und haben dabei einen Riesenspaß. Es ist endlich Feierabend und der Bär freut sich auf seine lieb gewonnen Schlafrituale. Er erzählt der Knuddelbande schöne Gutenachtgeschichten bis alle tief und fest schlafen. Ob wirklich alle schon schlafen? Volume 2 'Die bunte Welt der Formen und Klänge': Hereinspaziert ins große blaue Haus! Hier wohnt der kuschelige Baer mit seinen Freunden und gemeinsam entdecken sie die bunte Welt der Formen und Klänge. Die beiden Otterzwillinge Pip und Pop haben einen Riesenspass das Einkaufwägelchen des zotteligen Bären kunterbunt anzumalen und schnell sind sich die Freunde einig: Bunt ist alles schöner. Der Bär hat Tutter eine Spielkiste gebastelt doch leider ist sie viel zu gross für die kleine Wohnung des Mäuserichs! So lernt die Knuddelbande verschiedene Formen und Grössen kennen. Die Freunde verbringen Eine Nacht am Otterteich und lauschen gemeinsam den schönen Klängen der Natur. Tutter möchte zuerst nicht mit, ob sich der kleine Mäusejunge den Spass wirklich entgehen lässt? Volume 3 'Lasst uns tanzen': Hereinspaziert ins große blaue Haus. Die Freunde feiern eine lustige Party und haben viel Spaß beim gemeinsamen Tanzen und Musizieren. Die Rasselbande feiert eine quietschvergnügte Party, und alle tanzen gemeinsam den Bären-Cha-Cha-Cha. Daraufhin hat der kleine Tutter nur noch Tanzen im Kopf und steckt seine Freunde mit seinem Tanzfieber an. In 'Musik in meinen Ohren' stellt das kleine Bauernmädchen Ojo ein Orchester zusammen. Alle haben viel Spaß mit ihren Instrumenten, nur Tutter bringt keinen Ton aus seiner Klarinette. Doch bracht er wirklich ine Instrument? Er hat doch eine so wunderschöne Stimme. Volume 4 'Gutenachtgeschichten': Die Rasselbande darf Eine Nacht im großen blauen Haus verbringen, denn der Bär hat seinen Freunden versprochen, dass er Ihnen wunderschöne Gutenachtgeschichten erzählt, bis alle tief und fest schlafen. Das kleine Bärenmädchen Ojo hat ein kleines Häschen neu kennengelernt und dadurch kaum noch Zeit mit ihrem alten Freund Treelo zu spielen. Doch Ojo merkt schnell, dass sie alle Freunde fürs Leben sind und es viel mehr Spaß macht mit allen gemeinsam etwas zu unternehmen. Am Abend lädt Luna zur großen Herbstvollmondparty ein und alle dürfen ausnahmsweise länger aufbleiben. Doch schafft es wirklich jeder nicht einzuschlafen? Volume 5 'Jetzt wird gefeiert': Es stehen Geburtstage vor der Tür, das wollen die Freunde ausgiebig feiern und laden dazu herzlich ein. Der knuddelige Bär hat Geburtstag und dazu planen seine Freunde eine Bären-Geburtstags-Überraschungsparty. Doch das ist gar nicht so einfach, da ihr großer Freund sie bei den Vorbereitungen entdecken könnte. Ojo erfindet seinen eigenen lustige Tanz für die Tanzparty und tanzt mit Bär den Bären-Cha-Cha-Cha. Der kleine Tutter tut sich noch ein bisschen schwer mit dem Tanzen, aber seine Freunde helfen ihm gerne. Als Tutters Geburtstag ansteht, will die Rasselbande ihn mit einer Mäuseparty überraschen. Dafür müssen sie sich schnell an die Vorbereitungen machen. Volume 6 'Jeder ist einzigartig': Der große liebenswerte Bär und seine Freunde entdecken wie schön es ist einzigartig zu sein. So verschieden wie Tag und Nacht sind Bär und Tutter. Der kleine Tutter ist am Boden sehr flink und Bär kommt gut an Sachen die oben auf Schränken sind, weil er so groß ist. So stellen die Freunde fest, dass jeder andere Stärken hat, die man gemeinsam einsetzen kann. Als Pip und Pop am Otterteich ein fremdes Tier, das Kopf über am Ast hängt, entdecken, erklärt Bär ihnen und auch den anderen Freunden, dass Fledermäuse auch Tiere sind. Dog Hoc sammelt Geld um den Bisamratten zu helfen. Da Bärs Haushaltskasse leer ist, veranstalten er und die Rasselbande einen Wohltätigkeits-Flohmarkt. Wird Tutter es schaffen sich von seinen geliebten Sachen zu trennen um den Bisamratten zu helfen?

Episode 2
Bear and his friends are interacting with water in this episode --- be it real or imaginary. Ojo, for example, is pretending to sail a ship in the living room. Pip and Pop join her in the fun. Bear contemplates some questions of his about water --- just what shape it is and why it's so wet. He finds Tutter in the kitchen trying to get some water of his own. He's trying to build something to make his way to the sink, but Bear helps him by giving him a lift. Bear also finds Treelo in the bathtub playing with bubbles. When the bubbles start to overflow, Bear has him pull the plug, but he's worried he'll go down the drain. Bear assures him that the drain is only for water (and bubbles).
In the Shadow segment, Shadow tells the story of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider".
Songs

Notes
■This episode includes a brief segment in which real kids talk about some of the shapes that water takes on. These include raindrops, drops from a sprinkler and waves.

Episode 3
Today is Tutter's birthday, and the friends in the Big Blue House decide to throw him a special surprise birthday party. Pip and Pop are placed in charge of the decorations, but run into trouble with the balloons. All the noise attracts Tutter, but Bear manages to head him off with our help. Tutter learns that having a birthday means becoming a year older. He speculates on all the great things he'll be able to do while he's older. Ojo works on the cake and Treelo wraps Tutter's present. Treelo, though, gets so excited about the birthday that at first he wants to keep the present for himself.

Tutter is excited because Bear has promised to bring him a box, but he's getting a bit impatient at the wait. Viewers learn that the box is a rectangle and that there are shapes all around. They also find out that everyone has their own unique shape --- something that Ojo, Pip and Pop learn when they become shape explorers. Treelo also learns about shapes when Bear plays with him in a "tent" he made out of a bedsheet. Shadow also pays Bear a visit and tells a story of a very special shape --- a star.
Songs
■Me, I'm the Shape of the Bear (and Reprise)

■When Ojo is playing with her blocks, she sings "Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho. I love my blocks, you know." This is a play on "Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho. It's off to work we go" --- lyrics from the song "Heigh-Ho" in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
■The Bear-only version of the song in this episode is Track 18 on the album Songs from Jim Henson's Bear in the Big Blue House. On the album it is titled simply "Shape of a Bear," but on the credits at the end of the episode, it is listed as "Me, I'm the Shape of the Bear."

Bear is excited and ready to do his Woodland Workout at the Otter Pond. When he heads into the living room, he finds Ojo and Tutter, who give him a pretend checkup. They diagnose him with "big bear-itis," but give him just the right medicine to feel better. As he heads into the kitchen to leave the Big Blue House, he comes upon Tutter, grunting and groaning. He discovers that Tutter is tired from trying store cheese in his mousehole for the winter and advises him to take "quiet time." Reluctant at first, Tutter eventually takes the advice. When Bear learns that Pip and Pop went ahead with the workout themselves due to his lateness, he ends up taking some quiet time himself. In the Shadow segment, Shadow retells the story of the five little monkeys jumping on the bed.

It's fall / autumn in the Big Blue House. Treelo asks Bear to come into the living room, where Ojo is standing completely still. She's pretending to be a tree and so Treelo and Bear join and pretend to be an entire forest. When the leaves start falling off for all, Treelo begs for them not to go and Bear realizes that Treelo doesn't understand about why the leaves are falling off. As Bear begins hunting for Treelo, he comes upon Tutter, who's pushing a pumpkin into his mousehole. Bear helps him to push the pumpkin and learns that fall is Tutter's favorite season because it's a time when everything changes. He's making pumpkin pie this year and he promises Bear a special something. In the Shadow segment, Shadow tells the story of "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater" and also gives Bear a tip to help find Treelo.

Bear finds Ojo dancing a dance created herself --- a variation on the flamenco called the "flamingo." When Bear turns on the radio in his room, but leaves to go find his maracas, Treelo comes in and dances. Bear's search leads him to the kitchen, where he finds Tutter taking a nap in the dish rack.

This is at least the second time that Bear has suggested a game to the kids that he once played when he was a cub. In "Share, Bear," Bear tells Ojo and Treelo about a game called "Snow Bear in the Woods" when Ojo doesn't want to share Snow Bear with Treelo.

Episode 2
When Bear receives a package from "L.L. Bear" in the mail, he's surprised to find that he received a skunk clock rather than the bear clock he order. Rather than returning it, he decides to give it a try and hangs it up in the kitchen. He hears Ojo and Treelo outside and finds Treelo swinging on a swing. He gets off and asks Ojo to try, but finds that she doesn't want to. She admits to being somewhat scared, but finds a compromise in starting out by first taking small swings. As Bear heads off into the living room for a nap, Tutter is disturbed by the "tick-tock" of the skunk clock, mistaking it for a real skunk. He's scared by it, but eventually comes to realize that it's actually alive and is nothing to be afraid of. Out at the Otter Pond, Pip and Pop play a game called "Double D Dare." When their daring starts to get dangerous, Bear suggests that they think of things to do that are silly, but not potentially dangerous. Sometimes, if you're scared to do something, there may be a very good reason for it.

Notes
There is no Shadow segment in this episode.
In this episode, Bear sings that "everyone's afraid of bats" and that "anyone who says they're not is tellin' you a little white lie." Bear would later change his tune in "Bats are People Too" when he befriends a bat and tells the kids that they're nothing to be afraid of.
In an unusual move, this episode reuses the exact same theme, "Afraid," from the second season episode "Afraid Not."
Allusions
Bear receives his skunk clock from a catalog called "L.L. Bear." This is a spoof on the popular L.L. Bean catalog, a mail-order catalog generally known for outdoor equipment and clothing.

Episode 4
Bear is busy doing some cooking --- he's making his annual batch of cookies for everyone in Woodland Valley. As he starts to bake the cookies, he gets a call from Ojo and Tutter. They're pretending to be Big Blue House detectives, but they feel that they've solved all the mysteries in the Big Blue House, or perhaps even the world. Bear gives them a new challenge by using dishtowels to blindfold them so that they can play one of his favorite games --- "What is It?" Using senses other than sight, he first has them identify a flower and then peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Later, they find an actual mystery to solve when Treelo reports that his "banananana" is missing. With Bear's help, the senses of touch and smell are used to track down the stinky, squishy old banana. When the cookies are finally finished, the kids decide to cover up all their senses except taste in an attempt to get Bear to give them some cookies. He quickly ends the game --- he was planning to share the cookies with them anyway. They all end up sharing the cookies together outside, as Pip and Pop express their appreciation for all the wonderful sounds, sights and smells of nature. In the Shadow segment, Shadow retells the story of Little Red Riding Hood. In her twist on the story, the Granny is a doctor.

Throughout the special, a couple of pumpkins slide across the screen as a scene changer and sing the first couple of lines of the "Trick or Treat" song --- "We're going trick-or-treating / We'll shout a scary greeting."
In this episode, Treelo is scared of Ojo when he believes her to be an "icky" bat. Later on in the season, though, Treelo introduces all the kids to his bat friend, Benny, in "Bats are People Too" and they learn that bats are nothing to be afraid of. Apparently, Treelo met Benny in-between the events of this episode and that episode, or else he should not be afraid of someone dressed as a bat.

Treelo also learns something about surprises --- that sometimes they are fun, but the wrong kind of surprise can be scary. In the Shadow segment, Shadow sings a verse of "Pop Goes the Weasel."

Notes
This episode was created partly as a response to the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001. Though there is no reference to the specific events, the episode uses the theme of a building being destroyed and a community coming together.
Beginning with this episode, the opening sequence, theme, and closing sequence are changed. The opening sequence and theme now take viewers on a short tour of Woodland Valley before finishing at the Big Blue House.

Episode 2
In the second half of the two part special, the plans are coming together for a potluck dinner Bear is holding. Everyone will get together at the Big Blue House, eat good food and talk about solutions to fix up the library. The kids are hard at work collecting books to restore the library's collection. And Doc Hogg is getting down to business as to just what to do about the tree currently occupying a large portion of the library. He wants to remove it, chop it up and use it for firewood to heat all of Woodland Valley, but Ojo makes a discovery that changes the plan --- a couple of possums living within the tree.

Tutter is getting ready to start Mouse School. His teacher, Miss Maxwell, is coming to visit him at the Big Blue House. Tutter is excited about the visit, but worries over things like what tie he should wear and how he should introduce himself. Then, Ojo, Pip and Pop tell him that he'll have to know a lot to go to school, and he begins to worry that he's just not ready. As he frets, Treelo helps Bear to make a cake. And when they all pay a visit to the General Store, Pip and Pop note the training wheels on Ojo's bike. Worried they make her seem like a little bear, she borrows Bear's wrench to remove them.

Episode 5
Pip and Pop are eager to introduce Bear and everyone at the Big Blue House to Rocko --- an old friend of theirs that they haven't seen in a long time. On the way to pick him up, they describe him to Bear as being a bit shy, so it comes as a big surprise when the Rocko they meet up with turns out to be full of energy --- singing and dancing and raring to go. Indeed, it seems like Rocko's going to be a lot of fun at first, but then he starts trying to play games that everyone's uncomfortable with and behaving rudely. Suddenly, nobody wants to play with Rocko, but Bear wonders if Rocko is hiding something behind his "cool" personality.

Notes
Everyone goes to the movies to see Hare, starring puppets from The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. The title of the movie is a spoof on the title of the hit Broadway musical, Hair.
When telling Bear about the movie Hare, Lois tells him that Roger Ebert says that it captures an important moment in bunny culture and goes on to say that he gives it a "great big wing up."
The name of the game that Rocko suggests in this episode, "William, Don't Tell" is a reference to the Swiss hero William Tell who was the reference for the famous "William Tell Overture."

Harry is excited at first to be a big brother, but doubt begins to creep in when the kids at the Big Blue House tell him some of the things they've heard about babies. It starts to seem like there isn't going to be any time for him.

Ojo is in a hurry for Tutter to get home from Mouse School so that they can play their favorite game, Cave Explorers. Bear goes to pick Tutter up and finds out that Tutter has an assignment --- everyone at Mouse School is to give a show-and-tell of their favorite thing on Monday. Tutter considers it a big responsibility and is eager to get started, even though Bear notes that he has all weekend to work on it. Tutter gets so caught up in the project that he tells Ojo he doesn't have time to play cave explorers. Ojo becomes upset and feels that all Tutter ever talks about anymore is school. Meanwhile, Bear plans for a relaxing day at the Big Blue House, but is distracted by a leaky faucet.

Bear is coaching the soccer team for Mouse School. At the first team practice, the team is confused by Bear's complicated diagram, while Tutter is amused by a comment of Moss'. Tutter decides he wants to be Moss' friend, but is worried because he's never actually made a new friend before. He's known the kids in the Big Blue House practically his whole life and thinks of them as family. When he hears that Ojo made friends with Christine Rabbit by doing nice things for her, he gets the idea that the way to make friends with Moss is to impress him.

When Bear plays hide-and-seek with Tutter and Ojo, Ojo puts an abrupt end to the game when she calls for the two of them. It turns out that she's discovered something interesting --- some sort of old stones or bricks. Bear says that it looks like the remains of an old house and so Tutter and Ojo decide once again to be detectives and figure out what the deal with it is. Bear takes them to the library where they find a picture of the house as it once was in a book titled Houses of Woodland Valley. Otto and Etta recognize the name of the home's owner --- Hephaestus as being the name of Jeremiah's great-grandfather. So Bear, Ojo and Tutter head to the General Store, where Jeremiah has a quite a story for them.

Pip and Pop absolutely love baseball. They collect baseball cards and are especially obsessed with Ferret Jeeter, whom they believe to be capable of any sort of amazing feat. They declare Ferret Jeeter to be their hero and take little notice of Bear's attempts to tell them that he knows Ferret Jeeter. After all, everyone knows Ferret Jeeter. But it turns out that Bear really does know him personally; he and Ferret were classmates (and teammates) at Hazelnut High. Bear invites Ferret over to the Big Blue House, where he teaches the gang some things they never knew about Bear.
