I am here in 2024. I’m 45 years old. Listening to the intro song took me back to a time I will never forget. I would sit on my sofa with my garbage pail kids cards, and my GI Joe figures, watching todays special. My Commodore 64 computer would be on in my room, and my microwave fried chicken, corn and mash potatoes tv dinner would be cooking. Take me back, take me away.

Im literally tearing up y'all. My sister and i used to sit in front of the tv watching this, the letter people, mr. rogers and sesame street as a kid on Saturday mornings sharing dry honey nut Cheerios straight out the box (we liked em that way) with oversized tee shirts on and ponytails in our little heads. We're in our 40's now, with grown kids. They'll never be able to experience what we, and all of you were able to as children....and it's quite saddening. Shout out to all the 80's kids. What a time to be alive!!! ❤️#GANG

I never knew that Charlton Heston was a ventriloquist. Who's the dummy standing next to him?

It's like I'm 4 years old again. It really was easier.

Does anyone remember the episode where Jody was taking extra day shifts so she could give jeff hand jobs in mannequin mode? It was an episode about appropriate touching. One of my favorite episodes.

Couldn’t help but get a little emotional. These were the days of magic, innocence and wholesomeness. Wish we could bring this type of content for children, back, but the world is in such disarray who knows. Hugs to my fellow 80’s babies/90’s kids! We had it so good 😢😊

What channel was this on? PBS?

I often wonder why songwriters don’t just learn chords and lyrics like pop (sorry for the swearing) musicians do. It looks such a chore having to reach to turn the sheet music over. This must be a song that Sondheim knows well.

Wonderful!! Betty Buckley! ♥️Xxxooo

I'm almost 42 and never have met anyone that has ever heard of this show lol so glad to see I didn't somehow imagine it.

Pollack gave a gracious speech. But there’s NO way that I could have just accepted an award from the legendary Bette Davis, without acknowledging THAT honor, first thing. 😏

Wow! Goosebumps all over...One of the greatest! ❤

Absolutely loved this show!! Does anyone know where we can watch more episodes? I haven’t been able to find any!

I love Ralph Macchio he’s my favorite actor.

She was my all time favourite actress they don't make them like her anymore....maybe my wife 😂

There’s a sandwich board down the street from me that always has “Todays Special” on it…I sing this every time I see it!😆

did you get these from me lol? I filmed all of these ;-)

So... TODAY'S SPECIAL foretold Barney the dinosaur years before.... trying to warn us.

Didn't the security guard like to eat sardine sandwiches? I loved this show soo much, i want to go back in time.

Is it just me or does Sam's song sound like the Two and A Half Men theme song?

I've had that Yo Hee Ho song stuck in my head for weeks.

I saw George in LA Cage. It was amazing

WOW! I used to watch this after Sesame Street and Mr. Rodgers. Never knew the name of the show until now!

The Magic words! Hocus pocus alamagocus

Jeff be moving like a Mufucka

When the show ends they all get scared and try to go back to there original places and the girl leaves like she was working over night and got sidetracked evertime and never did any work.

Rhyming rats, puppet Einstein, magic hat mannequin, motherly afro lady. It was all I needed. Even though it was probably just a trick to get children to want to go to the store with their parents to get them to buy candy like cereal.

I was born in '91. I've been wondering what this show was for years!! I was starting to think it was.a dream. When the heck did I see this?

“Of course he can SING!”

I'm 45 and remember this and Fraggle Rock and loved both.. also, I remember watching Pinwheel and loving it and Pee-Wee's Playhouse

Mds mds o beijo da mulher aranha BRAZIL IS IN THE HOUSE

Shit ima get baked to this. 1980 in da house

名女優 「フィルムのファースト・レディ」

In my 40’s and nannying for some small kids whose shows are AWFUL 😅 about to play this for them ❤

I visit this video when I need to hear this song. RIP Mr. Sondheim.

Most, would probably say Katherine Hepburn was the best actress----- There's no doubt Bette Davis was the greatest actress

I believe she had a dark victory before she passed in 1989

Charleston Heston drank from her shoe.

Nerene Virgin 1946-2024 😢😢

I remember watching this

What great memories! (when all was well with the world - I thought 😊)

WGFL WB 53 now CBS

Rest in peace Nerene Virgin

So rude the way she cuts in before the winner can give his speech

Classic from 2018! 💜

Maaaannnnn!! This was one of my favorite shows!!! Kids today will never know!!❤❤❤❤

I KNEW that I used to watch a show on TV about a mannequin that came to life! I thought it was in a mall though. Thanks for sharing!

So much heartwarming memories with this show❤❤

Their is no one like Betty Davis these actors and actors can never be replaced today's are a lot to be desired 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
