Under the Umbrella Tree

Under the Umbrella Tree

Under the Umbrella Tree is a Canadian children's television series created by Noreen Young that originally aired on CBC from 1986–1993. The show was produced by CBC and Noreen Young Productions, and also later by The Disney Channel. The series centers around a diverse set of main characters who share a house on Spring Street in a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario. The characters include Holly, Iggy, Jacob, and Gloria. The show's title is derived from the fact that the characters live together in a home featuring a prominent indoor umbrella tree. When production of the show ended in 1993, syndication continued on The Disney Channel until 1996, and on YTV and Canal Famille until 1997. Twenty-seven episodes of the show were released to DVD by Cinerio Entertainment in partnership with Noreen Young in 2006, following a long wait for expiration of ownership rights.

Air Date: 1987-11-27

Iggy Igauna asks Holly Higgins if she has seen his checkers game as he and Jacob Blue Jay want to play, but are reminded of the big argument they got into the last time they played checkers, but both laugh thinking back on that time. All of them think back to that time which shows the boys playing. As Jacob attempts to make moves, Iggy guides Jacob into moves that will help him. Iggy takes his turn winning and then doing an "Iggy's Number 1" song and dance. Jacob is upset and refuses to play again. They argue to the point of separating the apartment into their own things. Gloria gets pulled into the argument, eventually colour-coding everything with ribbon. Holly is shocked when she gets home, finding out what happens, before trying to remind them all about sharing and if they can't they may have to move out. Returning to the present, Holly brings out the checkers board believing Iggy and Jacob are ready to play again.
