Pinwheel (Nickelodeon)

Show Summary

Aired: 1979 - 1990
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

The world's first cable channel devoted to programming for children and youth, Nickelodeon debuted in 1979 as Pinwheel (renamed to "Nickelodeon" in 1981). It was originally owned by Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment, a joint venture of American Express and the cable division of Warner Bros.; it is now part of MTV Networks, a division of Viacom.

In 1986, Nick held the Big Ballot, an award show voted on by kids that would later become the Kids' Choice Awards (http://www.nickkcapress.com/2004KCA/content/fun_facts.php). Each April, the Kids' Choice Awards show honors kids' favorites in movies, music, television, and sports, and features appropriately juvenile elements like the Best Fart award and a celebrity burp-off.

Nickelodeon began producing original animated shows, known as Nicktoons, in 1991. The three original Nicktoons, Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy, debuted that year.

Either way, the intro freaks me out. I'm sure the reason that I never watched it was because of this fact.

I remember that the puppets had clear fishing line that you could see. I was in upper elementary school so that kinda turned me off. Loved the theme song, though.

I remember I loved that snail. The big nosed dude always freaked me out though.

Does anyone have copies of this on VHS or DVD, and would be able to copy/burn them?
