When Jeff failed his juggling act in front of Sam at the start, Sam going off to do his rounds was a way to tell Jeff that he was not good enough at Juggling to be seen by any audience. Or a person will watch Jeff juggle when he is very good at it.
Also, people shy away from things that are awkward or not worth watching. So sam doing his rounds was an excuse or an indirect way of telling Jeff "you need more practice"
I freaking loved this show when I was a kid. Heh, I even thought Jeff and Jodi would make a great couple. This sure brings back memories. Damn, Jeff has a beautiful singing voice! Too bad they don't make more shows like this for kids.
@WynneL I AGREE. I kinda view them as a couple too. I forgot that mouse used to rhyme. I wonder if I had a crush on Jeff? I remember some kind of fondness for him...IDK, I think actors who make shows like this are so special
Jodie was like a sister to Jeff or best friend mentor. Like a mother to Jeff. If this show was for adults-- a romance could have developed--but this show was for kids!!
@WynneL Yeah this was a very popular educational kid's show in the 80s. I grew up with this show in the 80s...I remember when my best friend didn't want to leave playing outside at daycare in the evening time. His parents would come and say, "time to go," and he didn't want to leave. Then I remember is dad saying, "You'll miss Special", and then he'd zip right out! Good times!
They just don’t make awesome shows like this for kids any more, give me the classics any day over the garbage they show now! I was like 12 or 13 when this came out but I still use to love to watch it. Wow such awesome memories. Hey and just to let yall know I’m planning a Nickelodeon fan meet this fall, October 1-3, 2010. If you’re interested email me here and I’ll give you all the particulars and the link to the official fan meet website.
@callixandrus - yeah it's strange, I was just a little kid, maybe 5 -7 and I also had a crush on Jeff. Now of course I don't but It's weird that I did back when I was a child, being so young.
Do you know if Darth Vader is in that one? I keep think that there's an episode where Jeff dances with Darth Vader inside these swirling psychedelic colors.
Just this weekend I was talong to friends about the great shows of our childhood! PBS, Nickelodean of the early 1980s... shows were grat then- I LIVED till the hour (2:00) that this came on!
i love this show! what ever happen to jeff and the cast?

A fascinating thought but saddening:
Jeff is shown juggling 3 balls--
3 balls to represent 3 of the people he cares about the most--Jodie, Muffy, Sam.
The pink ball could represent Jodie as she always wears the pink jumpsuit...
The blue ball could represent the way Jeff feels--sad or blue.
The yellow ball could represent the way his 3 friends always make him feel--content and happy.

The blue could represent Sam as he always seems dismal..nice but
Yellow ball could represent Muffy as she always seems so cheery.
