Oh man I loved this show. I could only get it on the Canadian accidentally transmitted to w ny channel.
Good one. I used to watch this.
Thanks for posting this. Brought back alot of memories.
A simpler time.
Another thing I forgot existed. Crazy
Awesome
Holy moly. I think I watched this show every day in preschool for a bit before nap time. This really brings back some super early memories for me
My MIDDLE SCHOOL teachers used to put this on for us and we weren’t allowed to do anything (including reading) but watch. I fucking hated it.
Holy fuck. Right in the feels. Loved the whole crew, Sam, Jodie, Muffie 😭
Watched this a lot as a kid. Hated it so much, but siblings insisted on watching it. This opening sequence still makes me cringe. With that being said I recall there was one particular episode I liked where Sam setup his computer to somehow start printing hamburgers but then it lost control and wouldn’t stop and there were hamburgers everywhere.
Fuuuuuck nostalgia overload. Born in 79 and lived on Nickelodeon.
I completely forgot this even existed! Thanks for posting.
My brother loves this show it was great
I watched this all the time during the 80s on Nickelodeon. Combined with You Can’t Do That on Television, I got a lot of my entertainment imported from Canada.
Jeff and Jodi got together at the end
Thank you!
I remember this so much, but totally forgot the name.
I remember seeing this intro many times as a kid. I don’t think I watched a single episode.
Zoobilee Zoo is another one I remember this way. I remember the intro and then I must have changed channels every time.
Watched this every day as a kid
This and Pinwheel
Wasn’t this the show mentioned by Jill in S3 of The Leftovers?
I don’t remember this show, but oddly do after watching that intro
My favorite as a kid. Old security guard was my favorite character.
Wow. Thank you! This was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I had completely forgotten about it
I used to love this show and I still think about some of the songs they sung. I used to watch it with my little brother but I probably enjoyed it more than he did. Jeff the mannequin was kind of a ham.

Wow that’s crazy I totally watched that back in the day, didn’t leave a huge impression, but as soon as I seen it I was taken back blown away style would have never thought about again
I had one brain cell hanging onto this show apparently. Trippy
I had forgotten about this show !!
Wow that had really fallen down the memory hole, I hadn’t thought of that show in like 35 years.
Muffy 🤣😂🤣
Ol for people who watched this. Thr last episode I ever saw was they were going to tear down the building. But then it was revealed behind a painting in the mouses house it was a historic building. I never saw episodes after. It’s been a cliffhanger for most of my life and a summary of how it ended would be amazing.
Getting kicked in the face with nostalgia.
Brilliant. I forgot all about this one. Thank you.
My brother had a “magic hat” and when we took it off… he would stay still until you replaced it. It made for an excellent babysitting technique!
Great memories!!
I have been trying to find this show for so long. Thank you so much for posting this!
This was my favorite show as a preschooler.
My parents were a mixed couple (black wife, white husband). I didn’t know anyone else with parents like mine.
So just seeing a black woman who was best friends with a white guy (albeit a mannequin) was awesome to three year old me. I would look for Jeff every time I went to the mall with my mom.
Anyone else remember the security guards office going berserk or am I making that up?
TVOntario had the *best* shows in the 70’s and 80’s
I grew up in Canada and remember watching this show as a kid. I moved to California in 1990 and when ever I talked about this show, nobody knew what O was taking about!! It aired in the US too, right?
Wow! I had forgotten all about this show. I used to watch it all the time. LoL.
When I was a young kid (1992) I used to watch Today Special and Wind In The Willows back to back everyday after school. I miss those days.
Back when seeing muppets everywhere was completely normal but a mannequin coming to life was magical
Wow.
I’m… im transported back to a world where shows like this were my oasis from my parents. My brother was born in 81, I was 11. Everyone was so caught up with the baby they just put me in front of this show to keep me quiet. Also Fraggle Rock and The Great Space Coaster.
Seeing this brought a lot up out of the darkness of time passed.
Man I forgot how popular Muppets were. They were fucking everywhere back then. They would just pop up in random commercials or movies and everyone was just like oh cool a Muppet.
🥰
This made me so happy… Thank you!
Throw this in with Read All About It and The Write Channel. There was another show but I can’t remember what it is.
I know I was also watching 3,2,1 Contact and The Electric Company. Were the Edison Twins their own show or a mini show in another series?
I LOVED this show when I was a kid and would watch it all the time. When I was pregnant with my now 9 yr old daughter I memorized a song from one of the episodes, a lullaby that Jody sings to Jeff. She still asks me to sing it toher at bedtime. Sang it twice last week!
Wow, I had completely forgotten about this!
