"Need a Little Help Today" is the twenty-third episode of Bear in the Big Blue House. It aired on November 19, 1997.

Summary[]

Bear has caught a cold and his nose is so stuffed up that he just has to take it as assumed that the viewers smell good today. Tutter suggests he get a little rest on the couch and then the kids all decide that they'll do their best to help Bear feel better. Tutter recalls that when he needed some water, Bear helped him to reach the faucet. Ojo brings Bear her favorite toy, Snow Bear, to help cheer him up. She recalls the time when he helped her to feel better when she cried after she fell down and got hurt while trying to fly. Pip and Pop deliver Bear a package containing a clam with the message "Get Well Soon." They recall the time when Bear let them be postal delivery otters. Treelo gives Bear a hug and recalls the time that he was afraid of going down the drain in the bathtub. And Tutter recalls a time when he wasn't feeling all that well himself.

Trivia[]

  • This episode consists in large part of flashbacks to scenes from past episodes, like "Why Bears Can't Fly", "Water, Water Everywhere", "Picture of Health", and "What's in the Mail, Today?". As such, there is no Shadow segment in this episode and no real-kids segment either.
  • For the scene where Bear sneezes Tutter away, Tutter was filmed in front of a green screen, then special digital effects were added.
  • Error: Disney+ subtitles mistakenly use "must of" instead of "must have" and misspell Treelo's name as "Trello".
