Pinwheel

Being a little kid one time ago (i'm now 18), i have some memories of this great children's show which was on Nickelodeon. The puppets were great, and i loved the forein cartoons the show had on (mine being Simon and the land of chalk drawings). Then one day in 1989 Pinwheel got cancelled, and after that occurred children's programming began to sell out which continues to happen today.

I wish they would air this show on Nickelodeon again. This would do great for Nick Jr. I think Nickelodeon should ditch Blue's Clues, and Bob the builder (which both sold out) for this timeless classic. But sadly, that might never happen. But still i'll never forget this great children's show. LONG LIVE PINWHEEL!!!!

Pinwheel Pinwheel Spinning around. Look at my pinwheel and see what I found.

I can't remember much of this show, because I Was so young when it was on, but I do remember loving it. Nick needs to wake up and remember what made the network and rerun this show. The kids today don't know what good programming like this is.

Pinwheel Pinwheel where have you been?

For years, Pinwheel was the children's show that featured cartoons and live action figures. I barely remember this Canadian show but I do have fondness for the early Nickelodeon days when everything was new and fresh. They went to Canada and got their children's programming during the day and even into the night. Pinwheel was ideal for kids even today. The show lasted several hours sometimes and slowly it was cut back over the time. Pinwheel was a great programming effort for kids of my generation. I still vaguely remember the cartoons and the live action but I felt comfortable and at home watching Nickelodeon. The shows aren't the same now as it was once was but nothing good lasts forever but I'll have my memories.

I watched this show daily as a young child and have very very fond memories of it. This show out shows any show we have on television right now. It is beyond me why reruns aren't being shown on Nickelodean, which is where I watched it. They need to have channels for reruns of all of these great shows that this generation is missing out on. This show was a classic. I especially remember the snail with the living room on the inside of his shell.

Granted, it's been a long time since I viewed Pinwheel but I remember it very fondly!! All of the different animations were unique and inspiring. I wold love to watch it again with new eyes! Ebenezer was a bad bad guy but I remember his perfectly shaped pancakes that were featured frequently. Pancakes were his obsession.

I scoff at those who put it down. Sure it wasn't Sesame Street however, I don't think it was trying to be the same! Sure there were puppets but it surely added to a child's imagination capabilities and it offered something more than mainstream America at that time.

Thanks to those who put it on the air and I wish we could view it today.
