Running from 1981 to 1987, the Canadian show Today’s Special followed the adventures of Jeff, a mannequin who came to life every night after closing with the aid of a magic cap; his display-designer friend Jodie; and puppet buddies Sam Crenshaw (the store security guard) and Muffy (a mouse who speaks only in rhyme). Each episode taught a lesson: about hats, friendship, and even alcoholism. But for impressionable young ones, the real education came from learning the strict rules that kept Jeff breathing. Losing the hat paralyzes him, and one step outside the store makes him a mannequin for good.
WTF???

I never would've remembered the title of that show without you, Steph.
ME TOO! I was trying to explain this show to someone the other day and all I could remember was the intro and that it was about a mannequin. awesome.
Um, I used to watch this show all the time. I can sing the song for you.
