TODAY'S SPECIAL EXPLAINED!

Out of context most children's television doesn't follow any real logic. Today's Special is a perfect example. Here's the pitch for the TVO execs:
"Shit's gonna be classic: a magical mannequin, rhyming mouse puppet, Walter Matthau/Security guard puppet...


"A magical mannequin? I'm not sure I follow..."
"His name is Jeff he is the crux of show. Not to sound too hyperbolic, but throughout history certain objects have had a profound impact on humankind: the holy grail, the Arc of the Covenant, and now Jeff's hat. Yes, by merely placing the magical chapeau upon his dream box, Jeff becomes a sweet man-child only trying to understand the world around him, while simultaneously cursed to spend his life in a department store, and to live constant fear of losing the enchanted hat."


"My god Clemens, your prowess in the children's t.v circuit is goddamn impressive, gives me goosebumps. Who else knows about Jeff?"
"Jodie. She's the voice of reason of the TS gang. She's also black and wears a two toned jumpsuit."
"You sir, are a daring son of a bitch, but that's why we hired you. I expect to see some finished scripts by the end of the week. And, for god's sake, get some sleep. After the Crofft incident we don't want any more accidents.
