Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings - Drawing Cars

Takes me back to being a kid watching Pinwheel...

This is what inspired Gary Numan to write his "Cars" song!!!

Incredible. I randomly remembered this from my childhood tonight, I love the song!

Brilliant! Was Simon ever released on dvd?

[FaytLinegod]

Sadly, no. There were only 12 or so of these short in all.

I loved cars as a kid, so when this episode appeared on 'Pinwheel' on Nickelodeon, I always watched it.

...and then Simon went home and drew the DMV (or DVLA I guess) and activity in the Land of Chalk Drawings came to a grinding halt.

Really, though, over the years I've come back to a lot of shows that I liked (even loved) as a kid and simply found that they hadn't aged well and do not stand up to nostalgia.

I'm glad to see that Simon, on the other hand, is one that has NOT lost its charm and wonder and it absolutely is as nice as I remember it.

I remember watching this during Pinwheel on Nickelodeon. Thanks for uploading this. I had forgotten about this show until I did a Google search for Pinwheel. Thanks again for bringing everyone some childhood memories.

"Well, you know my name is Simon..." That has been stuck in my head for about 35 years now. I'm glad to finally hear the lyrics to finish the song!!!

[koboereed]

Me too! What is it about this song? It's weird that it has been with me all these years!
