Weinerville was an American television series on Nickelodeon that was produced from 1993 to 1996. The show was based around a giant puppet stage which was designed to look like a city, called Weinerville. The show was hosted by Marc Weiner (a real person) and co-hosted by the Mayor of Weinerville, Dottie (Marc Weiner with a small puppet body). The show had numerous characters including Captain Bob, a sea pirate played by Weiner that couldn't stop making bad puns; Boney, a dinosaur who was beloved by children but hated them ("I'm Boney, I'm Boney, leave me aloney"); and Socko, who often liked to kick people, especially Marc (among others). The show also had Pops, the local chef; Louie, the local laundry owner; Baby Jeffrey (also played by Weiner) who introduced Marc at the beginning of each episode; and Schnitzel, a bird with a bad attitude (whose name was the other half of national hot dog brand Wienerschnitzel). Five-minute cartoons such as Mr. Magoo, Batfink and segments from The Alvin Show were also shown.
