I remember this show!, 21 December 2001
Author: dootuss from PA

Being a little kid one time ago (i'm now 18), i have some memories of this great children's show which was on Nickelodeon. The puppets were great, and i loved the forein cartoons the show had on (mine being Simon and the land of chalk drawings). Then one day in 1989 Pinwheel got cancelled, and after that occurred children's programming began to sell out which continues to happen today.

I wish they would air this show on Nickelodeon again. This would do great for Nick Jr. I think Nickelodeon should ditch Blue's Clues, and Bob the builder (which both sold out) for this timeless classic. But sadly, that might never happen. But still i'll never forget this great children's show. LONG LIVE PINWHEEL!!!!
