Does anybody else remember a children's show called Today's Special? I remember watching this show, but I'm not sure how old I was, what network it was on, or what day (weekday or saturday morning). It was a show about a mannaquin that came to life every night when the mall he was in closed down. The cast was made up of the guy who played the mannaquin, a lady (I'm sure why she was in the mall after it closed), a security guard (he was a puppet), and a mouse (who was also a puppet).
I'm not sure why I remember this show. I can't remember any special things that happened on it or any of the plots to any of the episodes. I just thought of it while I was in the shower this morning. I was wondering if anyone else remembered it, too.
Hocus Pocus Alimagocus! I can bend, I can stretch, I can see!
Hey, I just found a website about Today's Special. Apparently, the show didn't take place in a mall, but a store called Today's Special. Also, I found out some stuff about the cast:
- Jeff (the mannequin) didn't come to life until someone said the words "Hocus Pocus Alimagocus" and placed a magical hat on his head, and he would turn back into a mannequin if the hat came off.
- Jodie (the lady I couldn't explain) was a display designer for the store and worked over nights.
- Sam (the security guard puppet) also had a computer TXL that he used to talk to all the time.
- Muffy (the mouse puppet) had a strange affination (obsession, really) for rhyming.
All this information came from the Today's Special Website.
