Does anyone remember a creepy tv show called Today's Special?

[Gurgi]

Damn scary looking picture. I vaguely remember this show, but has anyone actually ever watched it?? Something about the mouse saying some magic words and the man (wearing the hat on the left of the photo who was actually a mannequin) would come to life.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

YESSS!!! i used to looooove this show!!!!!!

I use to watch this. If his hat came off he would turn into a mannequin. You had to put his hat back on for him to become real.

I had no idea what you were talking about until I saw the picture...and yes, my brothers and I used to watch this show all the time!! It was actually really good..

ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I remember this show now too! Wow talk about a blast from the past!

I too watched it and loved it! Came on at 2 pm on Nickelodeon right after Pinwheel finished.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

ahhh Pinwheel!!!

I remember that show! I used to watch it every once in awhile.

I remember that show, and Pinwheel. "Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around...."

OMG..I loved that show.

We only got to watch it during school breaks/summer when we went to my grandmother's house though, because my parents didn't believe in cable.

Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found.
Pinwheel, pinwheel, where have you been?
Bid me good morning and may I come in?

I loved Today's special. My sis and I watched all the time!

I used to watch that show ALL the time!!! But, now that you say it, it was pretty creepy... no more so then a dancing, singing purple dinosaur, though, I suppose.

I loved both Pinwheel and Today's Special. Does anyone remember the replacement for Pinwheel called Eureeka's Castle?

 

[LadyyRedd]

You can find a lot of this stuff on youtube!

I had forgotten about it, but after seeing the picture I definitely remember it, and loved the show. Though looking back on it now, yes, a little creepy.

And now my fiancee is waxing poetic about "The Magic Garden" that I had also forgotten about but we found some video and I do remember it and its Chuckle Patch.

Loved Pinwheel...I was a little older when Eureeka's Castle came on, but my younger brother watched it all the time....

Does anyone remember You Can't do that on Television??? It was a Nick show too....my brothers and I loved it!!

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I found a bunch of clips from You Can't Do that On Television on YouTube. I was in heaven watching them. I miss that show!

What is the Magic Garden and Chuckle Patch?? I guess I am going off to look that one up.
