Hello to all out there!
I'm looking for a title or any information on a TV show I used to watch as a kid. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia... I highly doubt that it is a local TV show, but I could be wrong! I'm having avery hard time trying to find this so I do appreciate any or all help.
From what little I remember, the show is about a guy and a woman working at a toy store. I remember the guy looked like a painter... overalls and a beret, maybe? I don't remember the woman at all. I want say she looked young and had brown hair. They worked in the toy store and would pick up a classic children's book and a cartoon of the story would come up. The guy was always getting on a ladder and fixing something. I know its weird... but my memory has only gotten worse with age! :) I want to say it was show from the 90's.
I know its barely no information at all but I appreciate any help.
Thanks so much!

I'm sorry... I figured it out.
It's called Today's Special and aired in the 80's.
Geez... finally!

Hey there Mandi, i think i can help you. LOL I think the show you're looking for is called TODAY'S SPECIAL!!! LOL I use to watch it all the time as well. It actually is a show that started here in Canada and aired in 1982 - 1987 It had a neat little theme song too. Today's special, It's for everyone. Today's special, come join the fun. With magic everywhere, a world for us to share. And friendly faces hoping that you'll want to meet us there, for today's special.
It's about to appear, It's about to appear, today's special. Shout it loud and clear!
Today's Special. I liked Sam who was a puppet, and old man, he kinda looks like the puppets off of the muppet show, remember the grouchy old guys??? LOL Hope I could be of any help whatsoever!!
Cheers Stacey
