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.
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!!!!

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 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.
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.
