 Today s Special was an "edu-tainment"-type program which centered around the after-hours adventures of Jeff, Jodi, Sam, and Muffy in a Toronto shopping mall. Jeff, the main character, was a mannequin during the day who came to life after the store closed. His secret was known only to Jodi, a store clerk, Sam (a puppet), the store security guard, and Muffy (also a puppet), a rhyming mouse. The show featured some strong musical segments, highlighted by performances by the Canadian Brass.
