The TV specials were similar to full length episodes of the show, being contained stories in a 25 minute long runtime. However, these earlier episodes did not use the same format as the continuing show. The show would end up having a different theme song, ''Hey Sandy'' by ''Polaris.'' These original specials were not aired with that theme song, and instead aired with an intro where the character Ellen would describe the plot, and had footage that was exclusive to those specials. However, on later reairings and on syndication, it would be reedited to include the Polaris theme song, and cut out clips to fit in a more conventional TV runtime.

However, these earlier episodes did not use the same format as the continuing show. The show would end up having a different theme song, "Hey Sandy" by Polaris. These original specials were not aired with that theme song, and instead aired with an intro where the character Ellen would describe the plot, and had footage that was exclusive to those specials. However, on later reairings and on syndication, it would be reedited to include the Polaris theme song, and cut out clips to fit in a more conventional TV runtime.
