No, Special Delivery was what they called the block of programming on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. An hour of cartoons and then a movie.

I am determined to figure out what that show was called, though!

TODAY"S SPECIAL...

That IS it

I knew it had the word special in the title...

Here's some info:

Excellent children’s series about a mannequin who came to life in a department star via a magic spell from a wizard named Waldo the Magnificent. He must be wearing his hat while the words “Hocus Pocus Alamagocus” are spoken. Thing is, he can only come to life ‘inside’ the store and when he’s wearing his hat. In the store, he learns about life (usually through song) from his newfound friends. 1981-1987. Ran for 121 episodes.

MAIN CHARACTERS:
Jeff – Mannequin, good dancer, plaid hat.
Jodie – Big afro, pink jump-suit.
Sam Crenshaw – Security guard. Has a cat named Penelope
Muffy the Mouse – Always talks in rhyme and loves cheese.
Waldo the Magnificent – Magician who shows up occasionally.
TXL – Sam’s computer. Sometimes gives the audience quizzes. I get ‘em all right… now.

You're not alone! I've heard about it for years, yet have no memory of playing it myself.

Loved Charles in Charge, btw. And we had Nick, I used to watch Double Dare, YCDTonTV, Inspector Gadget and Ren & Stimpy.

On another note, we get Canadian stations here & I grew up watching Degrassi Junior High (not that cheesey-ass current one, but the old 80's one with that chick Spike) and Just Like Mom (anyone remember this? The kids had to cook at the end & it was always terrible, and the moms had to eat it.) Anyone? Theresa, help me out here!

I saw DeGrassi, too. it was pretty cool, for my age, I was astounded at how "city" all the kids were...

I was like, wow, everyone at my school looks nice and is white...

but i liked the show a lot. I didn't see Just Like Mom, but i probably wouldn't have liked it anyway, so..
Ren & Stimpy, woot!

There's a great big world outside...Allegra's window...

It was about a little girl in preschool (Allegra) with a puppet that teaches her family about life as a preschooler.

Gawd, that show was when I was, what, 15? Never watched much of it, it was for babies.

THAT'S IT!

I remember being scared of Jodie's afro. It was f*cking HUGE. I thought scary creatures were going to pop out of it.

Do you remember "Welcome, Freshmen" from Nickelodeon? I loved that show when I was a tween.
