Is it weird that I never forgot the magic words, and that's actually what I put in to find the name of this show? I'm 25, almost 26 now and I remember (vaguely) watching this.
Or does it merely seem that things were better back then due to the innocence of our childhood? As an adult now I can safely say America in the 80's wasn't so blissfully remembered by those who were aware enough to understand what was going on. It was nowhere near as bad as the bottomless pit it is today, but still it was no laundry detergent commercial either.
Holy Crap! All these old shows bring back so many great memories,children's shows like Mr.Dressup,Fred Penner,Mr.Rogers,Sesame Street all were way better then today's children's shows,today they seem too simple....great memories though.
I LOVED this show!!! I always remembered it but I couldn't remember the name. It's a good thing my friend posted this on Facebook! :D I watch this in the 90s and I'm pretty sure it was on YTV...
I am 28. There is a reason people harken back to things like these. This country is so far gone today. We look at old shows, old Presidents, old times. Because...they were better. A gallon of gas was 70 cents...you could trick or treat without freaking your kids out...we trusted each other more...TV was better all around...Reagan was in the white house. Oh God...those were the days
I absolutely LOVED this show. Noreen Young who created Under The Umbrella Tree, created all the puppets for this show, too! I was lucky enough to make puppets at her house, twice! I miss those days...
I used to love this stuff. Kids shows are such crap now. Everyone's trying to wear the best outfit, charm the opposite sex or buying sneakers with lights in them.
@StarKnight1Sunshine I know I miss watching it every morning after Sesame Street, hehe. TV Ontario's public archive did post some episodes, which is great. :)
@NeverDoubt1 Now see when I was a knee-high tot, I didn't know this show was Canadian. I have to admit, this and "You Can't Do That On Television" were among the shows that made my childhood, so I think I can safely say that Canada knew what-all was up when they made those two shows, among many a classic more I'm sure. :-)
WOW I REMEMBER THIS BACK WHEN I WAS LIKE 8 OR 7YRS OLD FINALLY found and remember the name of this classic NICK show Today's Special. damn I feel soo old
I loved this show when I was little. I remember watching it on Nickelodeon. My favorite episode was when they were going to tear the store down until they found out it was a historical building with a historical plack inside Muffy's house.
Lets see, department stores don't exist anymore, *I mean where they literally have an entire part of the building for each dept.*, manniquins don't exist anymore, the closest things I ever see are those little solid white headless things, they use to look life-like. When did the world start sucking?
I remember watching this all the time. Really makes me sad when I think of how long ago that was and how the years will keep going by. We've all said it at one moment or another, "If I had a time machine..."
best show for kids, grew up on this and i'm not the least bit scared of mannequins coming to life, i love sam and the computer's pseudo-romantic-passiveagressive relationship
@Draeism But millions of kids in the USA, watching it at the time, didn't know that, and wouldn't have known that unless they paid attention to the credits (which kids don't really do until they're older), or they read the wiki page or something when they grew up. Besides, i don't think it even was shown in the USA until it went into syndication in Canada, but i could be wrong. It's not always fair for Canadians to say "duh" when Americans are ignorant to things they don't need to know.
@Shikkyn Speak for yourself, I was a precocious American child and I watched the closing credits as it said TV Ontario, many kids' shows came from Canada.
@Shikkyn "It's not always fair for Canadians to say "duh" when Americans are ignorant to things they don't need to know." Yeah it is. Plus, I don't think the person who posted the video is a kid anymore.
It's been so long since a tear has left my eyes. this show brought back this inner feeling of peace and bliss. it was my all time favorite when I was 4.
I used to get freaked out by this intro as a child... I would always go into department stored with my mother thinking that the dummies would come alive or that something psicadellic would happen and rainbows would appear out of nowhere... strange.
I never understood why he made sure the door was locked, and THEN checked the children's department for people. Also... I think Jeff and Jody should have gotten married!!
I watched this when I was super little... probably only 2 y/o since I was born in Jan 1985 and it went off the air in 87.. I thought they could see me through the television and I always was on my best behavior... this brings back some memories.
LOL, I just realized something. In the opening shot, Sam locks the front door. Then Sam and Jodie go up to the children's department. Sam does his Pedobear impression and peaks around the corner, then says "Ok. It's clear. The customers have all gone home now." Now correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't he check to make sure that the customers have all gone home BEFORE LOCKING THE FRONT DOOR? I guess they didn't think that one through.
I must agree 100%...you Canadians have given the World some top notch shows....this one, The Beachcombers, The Littlest Hobo, and the best of them all, at least in my eyes, TKODS and DJH....and don't forget poutine...yum o.....
@cotters1 Don't forget Danger Bay and the Mighty Hercules. Oh, and Rocket Robin Hood. And, of course, Degrassi. The Forest Rangers is great stuff, too. Fraggle Rock was partially Canadian produced, too. Camp Cariboo was great.. And ladies and gentlemen, the Raccoons!
I can't imagine what my childhood would have been like without TVOntario. They, and PBS, were the true experts of their time at making television into something meaningful and educational for kids.
I named my very first pet, a black cat, Muffy because of this show. She was a stray who happened to explore our garbage cans for food. At the time, I was four. My mother took her in. She lived with us for 14 years. She was the best pett a young boy growing into a man could ever ask for. Thinking of the show reminds me of Muffy and vice versa. They sure don't make kids' shows like they used to.
i was so young when i watched this show that no had yet tried to tell me that black people are different from white people, so i didn't even notice that the 2 main characters looked slightly different. why do stupid people have to go around ruining the world?
I loved this show as a kid, but I remember the episode when Muffy befriended a butterfly, and the butterfly died and they had a funeral for it. I think it was supposed to be a lesson on grief, but that shit scarred me for a long time and made me fear and hate death. Fuck you Today's Special.
Man, it must have been hard growing up in one of those other provinces. TVO was the place to be! Probably still is, but we're far too old to understand anymore.
This show used to scare the hell out of me as a child. I always wondered what would of happened if Jodie dropped Jeff on the way up the escalator and broke his head off and Muffy brought him to life.
OMG! For like 20 years I've been trying to remember what the name of this show was, and could not remember. I just came across the title by complete accident, and looked up this video. WOW! What are the odds?
I loved this show as a kid. I wish it were still around so I could play it for my children someday. I can't even find any videos or DVDs of this show!
This definitly brings back alot of chilhood memories for me as well.My brother and I used to watch this all the time.They dont make shows like they used too.
I think this is one of the first shows I ever watched as a kid! This gives me goosebumps because I couldn't remember what it was. All I remembered was a mannequin going up an escalator. I can't believe I found this!!! Then the hocus pocus and the song bring everything back. Man this is so nostalgic it hurts. This and that show Pinwheel from Nickelodeon do that to me.
took me forever to figure out what this show was called. i have very vivid memories of watching this show as a child. but couldn't remember the name of the show. hearing the music brings it all back. makes me miss being a kid.
Yet for some strange reason i can only envision a rope tied in a noose. (notice how i had to word that in order not to cause people to alert others that i might be a danger to myself.)
Ah! That's the name! Today's Special... This is one of the last ones I remember from my early childhood, always wondering what in the hell that show was.
The nightwatchman should be fired. He spends all night in the childrens department with no pants, allows unfettered access to a manaquin theif, and does nothing about the rat problem in the store.
Did anybody else ever notice that during this show, Sam always only had one freakin' monitor to watch the store? and it always looked like it was broken down for some strange reason, it just kept flashing.
Loved this show, watched it long beyond the time I should have stopped. I always wondered why Mother Goose shows up in this intro, though; it's not like nursery rhymes have a major presence on the show, unless there's some poem about a living mannequin I haven't heard. And why wasn't The Mime Lady in the intro?
I'm 24 now and rediscovering all these episodes on this site. Man, it's still as wonderful as it was when I watched it as a little kid.

I think this is one of the first shows I ever watched as a kid! This gives me goosebumps because I couldn't remember what it was. All I remembered was a mannequin going up an escalator. I can't believe I found this!!! Then the hocus pocus and the song bring everything back. Man this is so nostalgic it hurts. This and that show Pinwheel from Nickelodeon do that to me.

took me forever to figure out what this show was called. i have very vivid memories of watching this show as a child. but couldn't remember the name of the show. hearing the music brings it all back. makes me miss being a kid.

Yet for some strange reason i can only envision a rope tied in a noose. (notice how i had to word that in order not to cause people to alert others that i might be a danger to myself.)

Ah! That's the name! Today's Special... This is one of the last ones I remember from my early childhood, always wondering what in the hell that show was.

I'm 30. I sent this video to my brother (29) and sister (27).
My brother said, "wow, this takes me back to a time I can never go back to."
I must say I agree.
My sister said she remembered a little bit about it.
My brother and I would try to guess what today's special would be. He'd always guess dinosaurs -- and he got it one time.

This show ran while I was normally in school, so the only time I ever really got to see it was when I was home, sick. :)

The nightwatchman should be fired. He spends all night in the childrens department with no pants, allows unfettered access to a manaquin theif, and does nothing about the rat problem in the store.

I loved this show, I used to watch it all the time because as a child I was babysat by the same grouchy old woman who watched Jodies son.

The security guard sounds like Al Bundy/Ed O'Neill

Did anybody else ever notice that during this show, Sam always only had one freakin' monitor to watch the store? and it always looked like it was broken down for some strange reason, it just kept flashing.

HOLY GOD MY CHILDHOOD.
Reading the comments is almost as amazing as finding this video. Kid's television was the shit when I was a kid. (I'm turning 28 this year.)

The first minute out of context, seems like they are having a booty call.

I remember seeing this on PBS in the afternoon back in the mid to late 80's. Something about it always gave me the creeps.

Loved this show, watched it long beyond the time I should have stopped. I always wondered why Mother Goose shows up in this intro, though; it's not like nursery rhymes have a major presence on the show, unless there's some poem about a living mannequin I haven't heard. And why wasn't The Mime Lady in the intro?
