I remember this half-hour show about a department store set in Toronto, Ontario Canada where another world comes to light after the store closes. With a friendly night female Black Canadian manager and the mannequin who comes to life after the stores closes. She teaches him about life and of course there are the stuffed animals who come to life. Today's Special was one of the first children shows on Nickelodeon. I was enchanted by it's simplicity and it sometimes went out on location in Toronto. The cast was fine and the show was great to watch even though it would be repetitive. I thought there were more episodes but I guess I was too young. I always remember coming home after the show had just started. I prayed that my bus would get us home sooner from school to see the show before we had VCRs and DVD.

I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. When I think about it, I only remember it vaguely, though. However, I remember the opening sequence and theme song pretty well. If you ask me, it was an okay show. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, it was very educational. The performances were good, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

This was a favorite show of mine growing up. My brother and I would watch it every day and wait for the "balloon" episode. I wish it would come out in a box DVD set for my daughter, or at least come on the reruns. If anyone ever finds it, please let us know where we can get it. One of my favorite things with the show was how Jeff didn't have any common sense. He would do things like brush his teeth with a hair brush, then we would yell at the TV saying he was doing it wrong. It was also funny to hear the Canadian accents. Jeff was always saying, "I'm sorry" to Jody, but it was pronounced, "sawrey". It's a great show and maybe it will come back on reruns someday.

I found others who thought this show rocked...way better than the stuff Nickolodeon has now. I adored this show and watched it everyday, along with pinwheel and you can't do that on television, which was sketch comedy at it's best (originals of SNL excluded, of course-they were older)and I would love a DVD of the seasons, my 4 year old would love it. I remember thinking that Jodie was so cool, being able to be at a big store overnight. Things I learned about the show since searching; I didn't know it was Canadian (they have some good shows, check out Degrassi: The New Generation)I also didn't know it was on PBS, and I surely didn't know that it was 28 minutes, 50 seconds long, and Nickolodeon cut out precious minutes of this show.
