Pinwheel

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 remember watching this show at my Grandparents' house a lot, and I can still sing the theme song. Some of the cartoon bits included the British "Simon" (who liked to do drawings) and Emily ("whoopee"). I had thought the show lasted for hours and hours, and it turns out I was right! I wish Nickelodeon still had Pinwheel, it was such a great show, if not as slick as the shows for kids today.

I loved this show, Plus and Minus, Jake and the sound boxes. Bill Cosby with the picture pages. I missed this show. I wish they would release it so that my children could benefit from the wonderful teachings that this show gave. Because of Pinwheel I learned to count and I learned how to read faster than other kids. Please release the show on DVD. There are so many other children out here would love the show. My brother and I used to watch this EVERYDAY. I remember that Pinwheel was better because it had more cartoons. The hats, Winnie the Pooh. I even remember the fly bugs. Especially the one that couldn't count higher than the number one. I even remember Ebenezzer. Please put it out there.

I don't remember pinwheel being that long as one show, I remember them showing a few episodes back to back. My favorite was the bird in the tree that wore the Napoleon hat, and Simon. I still know the theme song to pinwheel and Simon. My little brother and I Grew up watching this and Sesame Street but Pinwheel was our fav! We would watch Pinwheel and that show about the woman in the department store with the mannequin that came to life but couldn't leave the store, and the little mouse that lived in the doll house. We love Nick, and when I got to go to Nick Studios I cried and the Tour lady kinda laughed but I was the only one who knew anything about the old shows, I was the only one over the age of 9 on the tour.

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.
