Availability of the Show


I am interested in knowing if Today's Special is available as reruns on TV in the Eastern USA, or on DVD or Video. Thanks for info.

Sadly, there is no broadcasting of TS in North America that we know of. There WERE 6 VHS tapes containing two episodes each that were made a few years ago, but those are OOP too now unfortunately. Ebay or trying your luck with Amazon is your best bet with that. There is a REALLY big petition though to reissue TS at www.petitionspot.com/petitions/derekb27 in case you weren't aware. TVO has indicated that they need a show of support to buy back the broadcast/home video rights for TS, which I hope will happen soon. With so many other shows from the 80s getting their shot, I think that it's just wrong that TS wouldn't get its fair chance. Such quality family shows like it just aren't made anymore, and for nostalgia-ridden adults and for children, it would be fantastic to get it back out there, where it belongs.
