Other puppet shows


My husband and I have been up all night searching for a show he thinks he remembers. According to him, there were puppets who lived in a departmemt store with a woman who took care of them and and a security guard and they would get into tons of mischief. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I think he has combined elements of different shows with that of Pinwheel. Any thoughts or clues to what the heck he's talking about?

That's "Today's Special," which aired on Nickelodeon around the same time Pinwheel did. There was Jeff the mannequin who would come to life at night, Jodi the caretaker (or whatever her title was) and then there were the puppets, Muffy the Mouse and Sam the Security Guard along with some others. This show is easier to find than Pinwheel because it was released to video. I think I saw some VHS or DVD's of the show for sale on ebay not long ago.

Thanks for that. I thought my husband had lost it for a while.

Do you remember The Great Space Coaster with Gary Gnu, Goriddle Gorilla, Fran, Danny, and Roy?

I remember Today's Special..kinda boring and freaky to me.And I do remember Pinwheel! Great Space Coaster, I remember vaguely because I was just a small child back then. I only remember the theme song to it..and some big white colored character with a red nose..

Does anyone also vaguely remember Cookie and Poofy from the old school Nickelodeon,in the mid 80s, like the Pinwheel era? I remember it was like a hand puppet show, and they sang something like "My name is Cookie, My name is Poofy, we all (cant remember the word) together!"
