This really takes me back. I miss these days when I didn't worry about anything, except watching TVO at 1 o'clock for this show. Greetings from the U.S.
I have been looking for this show for years I would tell my friends and they said they have never heard about it THanx for putting this on it brings me back I needed that.
I waited till 2:00 every day for this show to come on! I was so upset when I started school & had to miss it. For the longest time I thought Sam was himan!
See, this is when children's television used to be about something. What the fuck is a Bratz doll any damn way?!? And all this Anime shit. Y'all need to bring back some Friendly Giant and Polka Dot Door!
The best episode is the one were they are in the spooky castle trying to get the elixer that will make Jeff "awake" all the time. I think it was even a two-parter..w000h big stuff for a little kid.
Btw about a year ago i started a today's special group on facebook.
WOW. I've just watched the intro to mr dressup and now this. This stuff is what I see when I do acid and mushrooms and salvia and stuff. the shapes, the colours... and the music. these songs and images have brought me some feelings I had thought were lost.
I remember this show well- it came on when I was young and visiting relatives in Pennsylvania. The only episode I know of was "Treasure Hunts", because of the "X Marks the Spot" song...
I used to love this damn show.. and everytime i ask people about it no one remembers it... oh how i love youtube... i found one of my favorite childhood shows.. but damn this looks so old starting to make me feel kinda old too :~(
Ohhhh SNAP!!! I haven't seen this since I was about 5!! Dayam - it's so CORNY. I never knew it was so cheese man LMFAO!! I love it. Used to be my FAVORITE show too..wow, I was a geek. lol
I would pay good money for pinwheel dvds. If for no other reason that to see the English dubbed versions of Alfie Atkins and Charlie's Climbing Tree. Those were off the hook!
AWESOME! I couldn't remember the name of this show and keep typing all sorts of random things in. NOW I REMEMBER!! haha, I LOVED this show, thanks for sharing! :)
and vote for it like I did! I'm not spamming I just want it on DVD, I already voted for it :P
The reason it's not on DVD yet is because producers want to know if enough people would actually buy it it if was put on DVD and worth them to spend them money to put it out and they check this site. Registering on the site is quick and free too so do it! :) I couldn't put the addy btw this site won't let me but look it up in yahoo
My mom worked in the store where the show was filmed after Simpson's was bought out by the Hudson's Bay Company. Interestingly enough, the store was used at Madisson Square Gardens in 2004 when they made the movie Cinderella Man.
It's all about the Hi Hat and Sax. They switched it up later with some keys. That got too druggy for me. Like, maybe I should've put on Headbanger's Ball after that. Wait, I did.
my girlfriend gets severely creeped out by the old shows I used to watch as a kid, namely this and Pinwheel. I forgot where I got "locked up tight, as it should be," which I'll sometimes say out of nowhere. thank you!
This was my favorite show. My mom just called it "Muffy" cause of the mouse but I'd flip out of bed in the morning everytime she said, "Wake up! Muffy's on!"
I would definately agree with the traumatization when it went off the air.. I cant explain the feeling I used to get when I saw part and the start of the music when I was little.. this was the baddest show on Television in the late 80's.
Wow, I didn't know this show was Canadian. That makes it even better. (It was beyond my favourite show when I was small. I was rather traumatized when it went off the air.)
I also grew up on this show, I watched it every day you know; Muffy, Jodi, Jeff and Sam - this who made me who I am..It could be why my mind is warped... lol
I signed an online petition to get this show on DVD. This was the original opening theme that was used in the early episodes. I noticed that the 2nd version had a synth sound added to the begining of the music. I too loved Pinwheel. I'm old too!!! 28!! I remember when Nick was a new network and A&E was on after Nick's day was through.

Sam plays but a small role in a big conspiracy to prepare us for a police state. Just listen to the show's intro!
"Well, I guess that's all locked up now as it should be. Everything's all safe down here."
As it should be? Safe?! What the fuck, Sam!?
