History Trivia / TodaysSpecial

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While a 6-volume series of VHS tapes (each containing two episodes) was released in 1995, copies are now rare, and the series has never been issued on DVD.

* NamesTheSame: This isn't the only children's show on [=TVOntario=] with [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} a main character named Muffy]].

* TheCastShowoff: Jeff Hyslop, who played Jeff the mannequin, is a triple threat entertainer. While he and everyone else sang on the show, he was usually the only one who danced, and did this on the show frequently. Nerene Virgin danced a little bit and was often paired with Jeff, but for anything more complicated they had to bring in outside talent to keep up with him. It should also be noted that Jeff Hyslop was also the show's choreographer.

* BigNameFan: The infamous fanfic writer Creator/DakariKingMykan is a fan of this show, to the point that he put [[{{Expy}} expies]] of several characters in his series ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic''.

* UnCanceled: The "Live on Stage" episode (a concert film of the stage production the cast and crew put on in several Ontario cities in 1985) was intended as the GrandFinale (the plot of the stage show notably involves the magic hat allowing Jeff to come to life outside the store, and there being no indication that this isn't temporary), but the show was brought back for two more seasons and the "Live on Stage" episode's events were quietly [[RetCon retconned]].

* HeyItsThatGuy: Jeff Hyslop has had several TV and film roles since the show ended, but he's mostly been active in the theater. If you grew up watching this show, it can be a bit jarring to see the guy who played Jeff the mannequin playing ''ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' onstage.
