Today's Special was nothing less than one of the most imaginative and innovative of Canadian children's programming. It's blend of live-action,puppetry and animation is reminiscent to the famous Jim Henson "Muppet" technique,and the beautiful colours and storylines have made it the most successful children's show in Canada.The adorable rhyming Muffy Mouse,the handsome singing and dancing mannequin Jeff,the puppet security guard Sam,and the kind young display designer Jodie were all characters that children of all ages could find themselves identifying with.I think that TVO should release all the Today's Special episodes on video,so that everyone could experience this magical world in what looks like from the outside just a normal department store in Toronto.If you like Today's Special, Bookmice,with the talents of Nina Keogh (Muffy Mouse) is also a wonderful show,this one taking place in an inner-city library.
