| Under the Umbrella Tree | comment |
This was a live-action children's series that aired on CBC from 1986 to 1993, and also the Disney Channel in the early 1990s. The setting was an upscale apartment in Canada, and the main characters were freelance artist Holly Higgins and her three young animal friends (actually portrayed by puppets): Gloria the Gopher, Iggy (short for "Ignatz Julio") Iguana and Jacob the Bluejay.Occasionally, guest stars (both human and "animal") would drop by the apartment for visits.After Disney's rights to the show expired in 2005, its creator Noreen Young began selling DVD's of the series independently through the official site. The YouTube channel Encore + also had official uploads of the series until it shut down in 2022. | |

Totem Pole Trench: In the episode "The Wedding," the three main puppets attempt to do this in Holly's bridesmaid dress with Gloria on top, because Gloria wants to see how the dress would look on her but is too small to wear it by herself. | |

Long-Lost Uncle Aesop | |
| Under the Umbrella Tree / int_1996752 | comment |
Long-Lost Uncle Aesop: There was the time that Gloria's wealthy "Aunt Gloxinia" moved to Alaska and Gloria inherited the services of her butler. This butler was a Well-Intentioned Extremist who constantly shadowed her and forbade her to do many things (such as eat ice cream, for example) because "Your Aunt Gloxinia never [did X]." This eventually drove Gloria to scream in frustration: "My Aunt Gloxinia isn't me!" The problem was eventually resolved when the butler quit his job, admitting that even he had become sick of all the social pretension. | |

The Klutz | |
| Under the Umbrella Tree / int_1bdbbbae | comment |
The Klutz: Iggy's Cousin Emmet used to be hopelessly clumsy. In his debut episode, flashbacks to his last visit show all kinds of accidents that he caused—he broke the teapot, spilled paint on one of Holly's drawings, and accidentally knocked Gloria over with a ladder he was returning—and Holly, Gloria and Jacob are terrified by the thought of him visiting again. When Emmett arrives, though, it turns out that he's gotten over his clumsiness. He even effortlessly catches a whole bunch of things that Holly drops. | |

Halloween Episode: In "Halloween", Iggy hurts his leg, doesn't know whether it's broken or not, and has to stay at the animal shelter until his x-ray is ready, which means he has to miss the Halloween party at the apartment. In the end, Holly, Jacob, Gloria and the party guests all come to the shelter and bring the party to him, and it turns out his ankle is just sprained and will soon be fine. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| Under the Umbrella Tree / int_47fea76b | comment |
Monkey Ball: Although usually The Comically Serious, Holly could be counted on to get herself humiliated from time to time for a cheap laugh. A notable example was an episode when she dressed in a gorilla suit and went around the neighborhood performing singing telegrams in order to make extra money—but got mistaken for an actual gorilla, captured by zookeepers, and was taken to a local zoo where she was locked in a cage for several hours! And in an episode where one of Iggy's relatives visits from the Southwest, Holly undergoes a Humiliation Conga that includes her sitting on a cactus and burning her mouth on some spicy chili. | |

Ping Pong Naïveté: Gloria, Iggy, and Jacob swung from being sophisticated pseudo-adults to hapless waifs whenever the plot demanded it. Sometimes the difference was outlandish: for example, Gloria got a job as a radio reporter in "Gloria the Reporter," but in "Hanky Panky" needed to be taught how to blow her nose like a toddler. | |

Genius Ditz: Jacob doesn't have much in the way of common sense and often gets things wrong, but he's very knowledgeable about flying and recognized as somewhat of an authority on the subject, even among other birds. He also knows how to take good care of a bike, which he likens to taking good care of his feathers so he can fly, and he successfully becomes a crossing guard and teaches the others about road safety. | |

Fractured Fairy Tale | |

Fractured Fairy Tale: In some episodes, Holly and the puppets would put on plays of fairy-tales, which were usually at least a little bit fractured: for example, "The Princess and the Pea Soup," where the princess is a truck driver named Diesel and a can of pea soup is put under her mattresses instead of a pea. | |

"Getting My Own Room" Plot: In "Iggy's New Room," Iggy gets tired of having his bed on a bookshelf in the living room because of the lack of privacy, so he decides to sleep in the bathroom from now on. Unfortunately, the bathroom turns out to be less private than he hoped because the others keep needing it. In the end, he goes back to his old bookshelf bed, but with a curtain added in front of it to give him privacy, which remains for the rest of the series. | |

Odd Couple: Gloria and Iggy had trouble getting along when they first became roommates because Gloria was too serious while Iggy was too much of a jokester, and because Iggy liked to stay up late and sleep in while Gloria preferred "early to bed and early to rise," and they kept each other awake. But Jacob was already their mutual friend, and for his sake they finally gave each other a chance, and then they became best friends too. | |

Catchphrase: Jacob, when corrected on something, would always say: "I knew that!" In one episode he Lampshaded this by listing his hobbies as "flying, playing with my friends and saying 'I knew that.'" He also sometimes exclaims "Wazoo!" when he's excited, and whenever he shows off one of his talents, he calls it his "spécialité." | |

Storm in a Teacup | |
| Under the Umbrella Tree / int_cc7e0946 | comment |
Storm in a Teacup: Played for Laughs in "The Trombone". After showing Jacob and Iggy her new trombone, Gloria asks them to keep an eye on it while she's at the park. As soon as Gloria leaves, the other two decide to try playing it. They both do surprisingly well after an unsuccessful attempt or two, but Iggy falls down while playing it, and when he gets up, the slide has come off. Never having seen a trombone before, they both think it has broken in half. They frantically try to fix it before Gloria gets back and finally resort to tying and taping the slide onto the trombone. When Holly gets home first, she thinks they're playing a joke on Gloria and tells them that they should just put the trombone back together before she gets home. | |

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: In "Iggy Moves Out," Iggy decides to move out of the apartment after his friends complain about his noisy, inconsiderate behavior. He goes to live with their grandmotherly neighbor Mrs. McMertree, and proceeds to be just as noisy and inconsiderate with her.

Delivery Guy | |
| Under the Umbrella Tree / int_ec4585b2 | comment |
Delivery Guy: A variation occurs in "Special Delivery," when Iggy assists in the hatching of Mr. and Mrs. Chickadee's new baby. When the egg unexpectedly starts to hatch while the Chickadees are taking it out for a walk, they bring it into Holly's apartment. Then the chick has trouble breaking through the shell. But since iguanas also hatch from eggs, Iggy knows how to handle the situation, and gently eases the shell open so Chuck and Chelsea's baby sister can be born. | |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Despite essentially becoming Holly's "kids" (once she moves in), Gloria, Iggy and Jacob have lives of their own. Not only do they occasionally receive visits from their animal relatives, they also have animal friends such as Mitzi the dog and Chuck Chickadee, and the Very Special Episode described below establishes that there are other animal residents in the neighborhood too. | |

Insomnia Episode | |
| Under the Umbrella Tree / int_f7a1f3dc | comment |
Insomnia Episode "Gloria Can't Sleep." It turns out she can't sleep because she's grown too big for her bed and can't get comfortable. "Wake Up, Holly!" has Holly purposefully kept awake through the night by her roommates to sabotage her job interview the next morning, because they're afraid that if she gets the job she'll move away. (They misunderstood a remark she made—she'll only be going on a trip, not moving.) | |
