* ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'':
** In "Good Times", Treelo becomes impatient waiting for 6:00 so he and Bear can see the sunset together, so he turns the hands on his clock so that it reads 6:00. When he shows it to Bear, Bear has to explain to him that he can't make time go faster by turning the hands of a clock.
** In "Wait For Me", Tutter is making some cheesy fruit pops in the freezer, and after Bear sets a timer, he tells Tutter that when the timer dings, the pops will be frozen and ready to eat. Tutter sets the timer back to zero, having thought that they will be ready once it dings. Bear explains to him that he actually has to wait for time to go by, but advises him to do something other than look at the timer to help pass the time.
