ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

noahcal-el This show was great! When i was a child, there were only a few shows that i looked forward to watching during the week, and this was one of them. I couldn't wait to find out what 'today's special word' was. And when they said it during the show i was so ecstatic! I loved it when Jeff dropped his hat, and he froze. The other cast members would approach him and talk to him, not realizing he went back to being a statue. They would all act surprised. I still remember the theme song. "Today's special come and join in the fun, Today's special it's for every one, With magic everywhere, a world for us to share and friendly faces hoping that you'd want to meet us there. Today's Special. Today's special is....

Electrified_Voltage "Today's Special" is a kids' show from the 1980s, the decade in which I was born. I was only one year old when the show ended, so I obviously cannot recall seeing it any time during its six-year run. However, during my childhood, I saw many reruns of the show. I may have been familiar with it as far back as I can remember, and last watched it when I was no younger than 9 1/2 years old! I also remember hearing an album of songs from various episodes of the show.This long-running series was set in a department store late at night, after business hours. The four main characters were Jodie (the store's display designer), Sam (the store's security guard), Muffy (a mouse who lived at the store and spoke in rhyme), and Jeff (a mannequin who came to life each night when one placed a magic hat on his head and said "Hocus Pocus Alimagocus"). Together at the store, these four characters would experience various problems at night after the doors were closed, sometimes involving each other, sometimes involving guests, and there would always be something for one or more of the characters to learn from it.With its characters, adventures, catchy songs (many of which were included on that "Today's Special" album that I heard many times), humorous moments (often involving Sam), lessons to teach young viewers, etc., "Today's Special" was a very memorable show, and I'm sure most of those who watched it during their childhood will always have memories of it! It has now been two decades since the demise of this series, but fortunately, it seems that it has not been forgotten, as lately, there has been news of a possible DVD release!

angeljem For the longest time I could not figure out why no one else remembered this show. Finally I asked my mom and turns out I was only like 2 1/2 years old when I watched it (I'm 19 now). I do not remember any certain episode really well, but I remember Jeff coming to life with the plaid hat and what the store looked like. And after reading "Hocus Pocus Alamgocus" that has come back to me too! It's too bad so few remember it. Most only know shows like Fraggle Rock and Zoobileezoo. Kids shows really just aren't what they used to be.By the way, anyone know how many years Today's Special went for? I watched it on PBS since I never had cable.

seo2a Today's Special was an excellent show. It was probably my favorite TV show when I was little, followed by it's Nickelodeon companion Pinwheel. The show was Canadian and is very hard to come by now. It is a shame that Nickelodeon does not show such great shows like it used to: Today's Special, Pinwheel, The Noozles, Hey Dude, etc...
