Born in 78, I’m high as a kite watching this and realizing, I know the words and remember the songs and characters! I remember where I was in time. I’m suddenly feeling 4’years old, and start to think and somehow remember feelings and sights as if you were there again. Very eeeeRy. 2/23
@@bagelfart8985 My grandma took me to Sears a lot back in the early to late 80s and yeah, the aesthetics of this show definitely fir Sears at the time.
True. Probably cause they didn't grow up in the 80s.. but I never grew up in the 1920s or in egyptian times, but I can still appreciate culture from those times and more as well. Shrugs. Maybe I'm getting too deep lol
I remember watching this if i ever stayed home sick when I was little, and my mom (who recently passed away) would bring me 7-Up and Saltines. Sigh. Where does the time go?
It's crazy how these things trigger memories from years ago. My little sister just passed away today at age 35 and this was her favorite show when she was little. I thought I'd be a little closer to her watching this. Bittersweet for sure. Couldn't agree more with wondering where the time went. Thankful we have these things to spark those happy memories from our past. Love you sis.
@@chrysanthemumcarruthers1103 very sorry to hear about your sister.I lost mine when she was 18 back in 1988, and there's not a day I don't think about her.I always wonder about the conversations we would have today, and what she would think about the internet since it wasn't around back then.Praying for you and yours.Take care.
I watched this every morning with my daddy before going to school. He has passed away now...I wish I could have told him our favorite show was on youtube...#bestdadever #ripdaddy
Born and partly raised in St. Croix, I remember when HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax were the only three movie channels and the rest were regular channels. Some/most of kid shows are/were from Britian. I didn't know Today's Special was filmed/produced in Canada.
Nothing quite took the edge off a rough day at kindergarten like a lil' Today's Special, accompanied by graham crackers and some Welch's grape served in my Flintstones jelly glass. Ahh, die Wehmut...
Oh my childhood!!!! I've watched *Today's Special* when I was in St. Croix. I can't believe I still remember the theme song after so many years. This generation don't know what they're missing.
reading the comment section of all these adults talking about their child hoods just makes me happy to see things like these were archived on youtube for them to relive their memories of being young.
I haven't watched this since the 80's but once it started everything from the store, characters, music, clothes, and vibe all are so familiar like an old friend. I miss those innocent days of sitting in front of a tube tv in the living room, eating some snacks, and totally invested in the show. Good times.
Liz Jamar ok i get it...nickelodeon wasnt even z thingbin canada till early 90s...so weird for me to associate this show with nickelodeon. In Canada, this was on a channel called TVO (Television Ontario)..Seeing as this is a Canadian (Torontonian) show, I assune TVO was the original platform..I had no idea this was ever aired in the US.
I grew up with this show and absolutely loved it and it was only when I was an adult did I realize it was a Canadian show! I need to thank you guys in Canada for your excellent educational and entertaining programming.
I was born in '89 and wish I had watched this as a kid. Sadly, I guess I missed it. It's quite engaging, I can't imagine how awesome this was as a kid.
@@diyboomboxesintexas2805in Canada it was still on the air until at least 2000 when my daughter was a toddler.. I can't remember if it came on PBS, TVO kids, or Kids CBC.. My daughter is 26 now, and I'm sure that she won't remember either!
I’ve had this vague memory of a kids show that took place in a department store at night and something to do with a conveyor belt. For 25 years it’s bugged me since I couldn’t figure out what I was remembering. IT WAS THIS!!!
Who uploads all this? I’m so thankful they did. I didn’t remember this until I came across it on you tube. Then the memories came flooding back! I sure hope these actors know the joy they brought to so many children.
stratkiller86 me neither well few times i did i couldn't think of what was called. last episode i remember was when they thought store was going to be torn down or something so they figured how to save it by finding some metal sign with a number that was in mouses place or something lol
Born in 81 myself and yes absolutely. Isn't it heartbreaking how shows like this seem so out of place in today's world? Things got so warped and vapid and we never saw it coming until it was too late.......
The Woman who played Jodie,She passed away on Monday,January, 15th, 2024....I remember having a small crush on that Mocha Woman when I was like 8..she had a great smile and personality. She will be missed, but not forgotten. 😢
Nickelodeon was the ish!!!! Off to a great start and when the 90s got here it couldn't be touched! Loved being a kids in the 80s and growing up in the 90s!!!!!
That opening that appeared at the beginning of each episode I had stuck in my head since childhood but I couldn’t remember for the life of me what the name of the show was. My brother and I remember watching Nickelodeon all the time. 321 Contact, The Bloodhound Gang, Danger Mouse, Mr. Wizard’s World, You Can’t Do That On Television, Count Duckula, Double Dare, Inspector Gadget and this one. Great memories.
This show brings out the nostalgic greatness about this time in history. The rare glimpses you get outside of what buildings and infrastructure looked like back then and the coziness of these places on the inside.
My earliest memorie of my mom walking me home from school and watching this show. I'm 40 yrs old now. Wish I could relive my childhood again. Time goes by so fast.
For some reason this sow popped into my head and I had to look it up. I used to never miss it. And then after would be the Sharon Louis And Bram's Elephant Show! Oh the memories. Thanks for uploading
So nostalgic! I often think of Jeff the mannequin and Muffy Mouse, and no one know what I am talking about. I would watch this, Pinwheel and Camp Nickelodeon played Donna Reed and Dennis the Menace, before it went off the air at 7pm, then A&E came on. I am 45, and it it hard to find the shows I watched when I was little.
i['m SO happy to find this on youtube! this was one of my favorite shows growing up!! I never knew this was a Canadian show, as I watched it in the USA!
L M I know right I'm at a show grown-up however want to ask people if they remember today's special they look at me like I'm crazy and tell me there was no such show.
