"Picture of Health" is the fifth episode of Bear in the Big Blue House. It aired on October 24, 1997.

Summary[]

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 Treelo, who give him a pretend checkup. They diagnose him with "big bearitis," but give him just the right medicine to feel better. As he heads into the kitchen to leave the Big Blue House, he comes across Tutter, grunting and groaning. He discovers that Tutter is tired from trying to store stilton cheese in his mousehole for the winter and advises him to take "quiet time." Reluctant at first, Tutter eventually takes the advice.

Trivia[]

  • Despite the episode being somewhat related to doctors, there is no mention of Doc Hogg, who would not be introduced until the second season.
  • This episode marks the first time that Shadow uses her musical laugh before Bear decides to look for her.
  • This episode aired on the same day Don Messick passed away.
