    This is the intro for the children's show, Today's Special.
    It aired new episodes in Canada from 1981-1987, but I personally use to watch re-runs of it on PBS in the USA from the mid to late 80's, to perhaps the early 90's.

    This song just popped into my head and I remembered all the great feelings I had watching this as a child. I can already feel my anxiety melting away.

    When I was little I always thought the security guard's hair was made out of french fries.

    Puts me right back into my old house where I grew up. Half playing outside & riding my bike in the sun and this would be running on TV always in the background with “pinwheel pinwheel spinning around!” I can visualize my old house. Puts a big lump in my throat.

    why are kids shows today such garbage compared to shows like this, pinwheel, electric company and such?

    This is why I'm glad I was born in 1982, and was able to witness Nickelodeon back in its prime & heyday in the 80's & 90's.

    I was born in 81 and feel so lucky to have been a child during the absolute prime of children's TV shows. We had so many amazing Canadian kids TV shows, including Today's Special.

    Hadn't heard this since the mid 80s when I was 5-6 years old, and still remembered at least 90 percent of the song word for word. Lol. This really took me back. 🙂

    I think this is one of the first shows I ever watched as a kid! This gives me goosebumps because I couldn't remember what it was. All I remembered was a mannequin going up an escalator. I can't believe I found this!!! Then the hocus pocus and the song bring everything back. Man this is so nostalgic it hurts. This and that show Pinwheel from Nickelodeon do that to me.

    Wow! I haven't thought about this show in over 30 years until it popped up in my recommend videos. It really makes you realize how fast time flys by.

    My father's cousins in Canada actually produced this show. One of my favorite childhood memories almost 25 years ago was meeting the cast and being on the set. Sweet show, and I wish I knew where to see it still...
