  • Does anyone else remember the "clock man" short that was on this show? if you do and know where i can find it inbox me.

  • Lol this still makes me wanna scream its scary lol

  • It literally gave me goose bumps to watch. My favorite show as a very young boy. It on a strange way creeped me out as well. It's almost like one of those things you were never ment to see again. Regardless, it was very cool to see again.

  • This was the first kids show I ever remember watching. Dallas was the first show I remember ever seeing period.

  • wow. a blast from the past. good post

  • 34 and I've been watching cartoons from my childhood. I love them today. I can still watch them over and over just like I did at 7,8,9 years old.

  • @jdkellyproductions2 "Pinwheel" Loading!! TV Series "TeenNick" Be Here!! "Classic Nickelodeon" Coming Soon...

  • I wish that I could find episodes of this show on DVD.

  • LOL, my dad used to love Hellraiser, and he'd always sing, "Pinhead, Pinhead, spinning around...". LOL!

  • @MagnaderAlpha LOL that's messed up! LOL

  • @aqunetluv- I used to sing that too! Well, not the pick at my butt part...lmoa!!

  • "Pinworms pinworms spinning around, pick at my butt & see what I've found." - my BFF's "improvement" on the lyrics from when we were kids...lol!

  • Kinda creepy, but I still watched it as a kid.

  • aw!! nickelodeon when it was a baby

  • @90sAreAllThat Midnight Be Here!!!! Channel "ToonNick"!!! "Classic Nickelodeon" Coming Soon...

  • The only show I watch where the wind would constantly blow! :)

  • to bad it was never that popular

  • OMG! I have absolutely NO memory of this show except for the song of course :) But apparently I watched it ALL THE TIME as a child, as my nickname is and always has been "Pinwheel". I'm 28 with two sons of my own but my aunt still calls me this :) I wonder, can I buy these episodes on dvd in a box set or something? I would LOVE for my sons to watch this and love it as much as I supposedly did!

  • 32 here...and still looking for the elusive Admiral Bird!

  • 27 here and I get the song stuck in my head a lot but I don't barely remember the show

  • Watched this all the time and right after that was Today's Special.. Ah, this brings back so many memories.

  • I WANT MY GOD DAM PINWHEELS!

  • thats like 1977

  • Lord I miss this show. They seriously need to think about doing a classic nickelodeon channel. They have Boom, so why not:)

  • @1982ktown I agree with you 100%

  • This was the best show on Cable for kids in the 80's. Nickelodeon was something entirely different from what it's become today. I can relate to all of the 30-somethings here, I'm 34 and Pinwheel brings back great memories of childhood.

  • Omg I remember this like it was yesterday! 33 yrs old and I still remember the intro song! The good ole days!

  • @tracieweathersby 33 here.. My favorite as a child.

  • Thanks for the video! I didn't remember the video, but I did remember the melody to the song. The one thing I didn't realize as a child is how off key the kids were..."Pinwheel PiiniNNnnnWheeell" lol (:012)

  • this ws da first show tht nickelodeon had!

  • Ha me too lol

  • I'm 28. Every once in a while this song pops into my head.

  • I'll never forget this song as long as I live :) 31.

  • @FilmStar26

    Indeed. I miss those days, 33 years here.

  • Does anybody remember Eureka's Castle or David The Gnome or Maya The Bee?

  • I remember on rainy days in pre-K and kindergarten we'd watch Nick shows like this, David the Gnome, and Lil' Koala. Good times man.

    However, that gypsy puppet scared the crap outta me, even to this day!

  • this was one of my favorite shows growing up.im 37 in ohio.whatever happend to the good shows.

  • @psychotammy

  • Wow...I'd almost forgot about this....this really brings back memories...anyone else remember sitting in front of the T.V. drinking juice and eating P&J's and dancing around when the music played? OMG...where does all the time go...I'm 34 and it seems like only yesterday......

  • Ahhh, How nostalgic. What a great show.

  • I would get out of pre K and drink my juice in front of the TV and watch this show... nostalgic moment...

  • Wow. All of us who remember watching Pinwheel have to be like 30 something now

  • humble beginnings

  • i remember this show as a kid!

  • I miss this show.

  • Actualy Nick is Pinwheel

  • @tymanfity LOL Noob. Are you stupid?

  • Ah the real golden age of Nick.this was one of my faves along wit Bell & Sebastian,the little prince,banana man,ect. Thx for posting this !

  • I totally watched this show when I was a kid! Looking at it now, it's the creepest thing I have ever seen!

  • so many memories!!!

  • Thinking about it, I think Pinwheel is probably my earliest Nickelodeon memory. Even though I didn't remember much from the show itself aside from random things like Bill Cosby's Picture Pages and Curious George and the old couple and the other human characters on the show. I remembered the green puppet vaguely too and the fortune telling one.

  • @christen123367 i agree i'm only seven

  • that was f'n awesome

  • i don't care i wasn't born in the 70's

  • Wow! I USED TO LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It was such an early memorie it took years to find out the name. I would asked friends about and they would look at me like I was crazy. "snail puppet fortune teller looking lady.. Yeah ya Know come on you dont know the name?, lol I love that I found it.

  • I was just thinking of this show the other day, and this shows up in my "recommending viewing" list. Awesome!

  • i always loved pinwheel when i was a lil lad. those were the good shows back then!

  • The "Ol' School" Nickelodeon had some really good shows. My first memories of Nick was watching Pinwheel back in the days.

  • You can't do that on Television

  • this show was awsome back then todays shows are crap nothing like these shows

  • Anyone remember just what the heck that stop motion segment on this about the hat people? I have no idea if that was before or after "Lidsville", even though this one was just about the hat people living day to day lives...

  • @LaDracul Hattytown.

    "Where all the people live in hats"

  • @lorax10 Thank you!

  • Does anyone remember Aurelia singing "lunch is so delicious you might want to eat the dishes". I miss this show along with Today's Special, Danger Mouse, and Fraggle Rock. 

  • It was sad when they said it was the last episode of Pinwheel I remember. My was like why is it going off the air. Very sad. MTV today is crap televison. No music. They started out 24 hours a day non-stop music television.

  • this reminds me of my babysitter molesting me!

  • @smakdis I hope you aren't being funny, but if you're for real, I'm sorry that happened to you....there are some sick people in this world!

  • Holy mother of God!

  • Wow Pinwheel pinwheel breezy and bright still sticks in my head! Those were the good old days.

  • WOWWWW 

  • Wow thank you!!! I learned English watching this and today's special when I was 12 in the Dominican. Good times!

  • Some old nickelodeon here. I hadn't seen this in a while. My oldest memories of watching nickelodeon are 'you can't do that on television','Mr.Wizard','Doubl­e-Dare','CountDuckula','Inspec­tor Gadget','Cities of Gold','Maya the bee','David the gnome','Turkey Televsio'. Noodles,Oodles, I hear spooks, it must be yoodles.....Ah,such good memories.

  • Holy Shit! I would have died and forgot bout this shit, if I hadn't of seen it. Thanks you tube!

  • wait this isn't the pinwheel I remember. I remember watching it in the 90's and the song has the same words but sounds different and the video is totally different. I've never seen this one. I want to see the one from my childhood and I can't find it. meh.

  • @shamrocksmurf There was more than one intro. Guess you'll just have to look through all of these until you luck out and come across it. Seems this version pops up a lot.

  • @shamrocksmurf pinwheel wasnt on in the 90s eureka s castle was

  • Im here because today is my 33rd birthday, and Im remembering when i was 5 and 6 watching shows like this and Todays Special and You Cant Do That On Television. Thanks for the upload :)

  • I loved Pinwheel! I miss you Paddington!!

  • whel i was born in 1973 so i heard that song in1986

  • @ihatestalkers wow thats amazing. It reminds me of he same thing.

  • A classic childhood show that I will always cherish in my heart forever! I miss those days...

  • @Darkmanfl Me too! I especially like David the Gnome, Hey Dude, and Out of Contol!

    They were great!

  • This song just popped in my head out of nowhere so I thought I should look it up. I'm so glad I found it! I use to love watching this when I was a kid. I wish Nickelodeon would still show stuff like this. I like how everything was so simple back then.

  • This animation is freakin' me out maaaan.

    Used to scare me as a kid.

  • Wow!! It's been *ages* since I heard this....I remember lying in the floor watching this as a child in like '83, '84....

  • This was better than Sesame street to me.

  • ive been looking 4 this show for years everyone i askd said it didnt exist

  • the first nick show i remember.....

  • As a child Pinwheel and Sesame Street were watched on the regular basis.

  • creepy

  • woah. i sing this song to myself sometimes. i always thought i just made it up.

  • kool show

  • I used to watch this when I was a kid. Crazy I was looking for something else and this popped up.

  • This was back when Nick was Nickelodeon. It went off the air at night. There was no Nick at Nite. None of that. 

  • I mean, no disrespect to u guys, i mean, if some 8 year old said this about Rocco's Modern Life, i'd probably track him down and shit on his Petunias

    But, if i was 3 years old at that time, i'd think those seasame street lookin puppets would rape me and sell me back to my family a limb at a time...

    Jesus, im gonna go watch some Saw II to lighten the mood from this

  • @Istanbul0687 That's funny; I'm 31 -- sought this out because I missed it. After reading your comment, I laughed my ass off. Funny, 'coz I guess I can see how these days it could be scary. Back then, it was just fun.

  • I've had that song stuck in my head for the past 28 years...

  • I miss this show. Hours and hours of entertainment.

  • I used to have a radiator that was recessed in my wall when I was 5, I had the worst nightmare that the green guy, ebeneiser lived in my radiator and held me prisoner. That shit was fucked up!

  • I don't remember much of this show, but there are two words I'll never, EVER forget:

    Gotcha Last!

  • @Sprocketman lol me too. gotcha last!

  • i remember watching this as a little kid

  • man, I think I just teared up a little.. I used to watch this when I was a kid in the '80s. Things've changed, some for the better, most for the worse.

  • @TheeObskure make u want to cry huh. Our childhood memories is a treasure dear to our hearts. Each time i think of the things of my chilhood such as toys, freinds, tv shows., I tear up with joy.

  • I loved this show

  • memories

  • God this makes me miss childhood so much. Brings tears to my eyes. I wonder if the people who made these shows realize how much they mean to some of us.

  • I know where to get this on DVD. I bet you'd LOVE 2 get your hands on my collection.

  • Does any1 no where i can get DVD's of the show? I've tried EBAY, amazon, even the Nick website. The only thing I have found was a 3 DVD set, but it only has like 10 or so episodes on it.

  • sorry to do that. I couldn't see it after I hit refresh. Really sorry.

  • Omg this just brings tears to my eyes! I was like 3 or 4 when I would watch this show!

  • wow, thanks for posting this. i went looking for some old shows that i watched as a kid and this is one of them. havent thought of it in 20 years. thanks for posting

  • I remember this show well. My lil sister and I watched it everyday along with Today's Special, Romper Room, Zoobally Zoo, and much more. Kinda scary how fast time flies tho! These shows our kids will never have the pleasure of experiencing...sad to say!

  • Classic 1980s educational program. Just revel in its nostalgic '80s-ness'.

  • wow, 1981-83, memories, man lol!

  • Yes indeed this was a wonderful era in my years of TV watching...this, along with what I didn't know at the time were cartoons from all over Europe.

    With that being said, doesn't any other Pinwheel fan here ever long for the older series of Pinwheel with the artist (instead of Molly) Francie, the Vegetable Man Luigi O'brien, and the lovable Wonkles Tika, Gorcle and Woofle?

  • I remember the talking snail and Minus and Plus.

    God, I loved this show so much when I was a kid.

  • I used to watch this show every damn day when I was a kid. This is pretty sweet.
