I was born in 1979 and these videos were a part of my childhood and I highly appreciate uploading them to my memory lane. There's a cartoon short where a kid takes different color fruit's or objects and rolls them out into long pieces of string and combines all the colors together and makes a colorful vinyl record and plays it on a record player and starts playing music. That is a cartoon that I haven't seen in forty years and that was by far my favorite but no matter how much I searched for it I can not find it. Maybe and hopefully I'll get to see it again before I leave earth. Thanks again for the memory lane
Thank you very much for uploading this. Any *Pinwheel* is pretty much "rare", since so few people taped any episodes back in the '80s (and this is some of the best-quality tape of the show I think I've ever seen!). Brings back great memories for me, as I used to watch it every morning in the *very* early '80s, when we were the only ones on the block with cable TV, which was still a pretty new concept at the time.
I know. I'm watching this with my granddaughter right now she's 16 months old. I was born in 79 and it was my favorite show. Well this and fraggle rock❤
Oh wow Nickelodeon's Pinwheel children's television show I would watch in the morning when I got sick of Sesame street. Just remembering those mini cartoons, the one with the pretty music with the shapes changing into objects, Plus and Minus,Herbie and Lu Lu, Aurelia Opposite City, Snail, Ms. MOLE, Jake, Simon and etc. Especially that song At Pinwheel's house keep on spinning and spinning around. So glad I lived in the 1980s.
What I find most fascinating and poignant about “Pinwheel” is the live action segment (or in this case just a collage of photographs). The “Pinwheel Generation” now in our forties looking at these photographs really brings to light a world long since forgotten. We didn’t have smartphones, we didn’t know what HD was, we still had to go out and find our fun, we played outdoor playing games that children today no longer play. In many ways we had less to worry about and yet most of us couldn’t wait to grow up. We now watch our own children grow up much faster than we ever did. The photographs of this era much like the ones seen in this video now appear old and grainy. As Cat Stevens once sang we truly were the children of yesterday.
It is from 1982. The confusion surrounding production on “Pinwheel” stems from the fact that it had nearly a decade long run in syndication although production on new episodes ceased in 1984. This is why it makes it even more astounding that such few episodes have found their way into the hands of collectors.
The early years of national geographic with fluffy dog and the cow that jumped over the moon yes Virginia there are parallel universes they are using a machine that will make you fall asleep listening to it
OMG another LOST Magic Roundabout USA episode!!
This was my Sesame Street. Watched it every morning .Thank you for sharing.
What is the difference between Pinwheel and Sesame Street?

Great to see another full episode of Pinwheel, which I vividly remember watching as a kid...thanks for uploading!
I cried when I saw this episode, it’s been nearly 30yrs since seeing this. I remember this like it was yesterday.
This is indeed footage that has never been seen online. Thank you for contributing something so important to the internet! and thanks from me.
I remember seeing this on Nickelodeon's afternoon
programming back in the 80's.📺🎵📺🎶📺🎼📺
Impossible because it stopped airing in 1990. You must be misremembering and meant the 80's

It’s a shame that Nickelodeon doesn’t want to acknowledge this as apart of its history
That's why we're the lost generation.
I know. I'm watching this with my granddaughter right now she's 16 months old. I was born in 79 and it was my favorite show. Well this and fraggle rock❤
That’s how the whole thing started.
The puppeteers who created the pinwheel puppets are indeed involved with the show shining Time station too
I used to watch this show all the time when I was little, but only to see Picture Pages.
Bowl of chicken noodle soup, some hot cocoa and frozen feet and hands from coming in after playing in the snow on a much cherished snow day.. ❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹
The cartoon at 44:20 is "Crystal Tipps and Alistair", a trippy British 'toon from the early '70s.
Jake sang that "Notes Make Music" song to one of the Wonkles ... surprised to hear him sing it with Lulu!
I'm 45 years old, and you know the rest. The feeeeels.
Yes very much wow
Born 1979 this used to be one of my favorite shows whenever I was little. I remember this episode
Oh wow Nickelodeon's Pinwheel children's television show I would watch in the morning when I got sick of Sesame street.
Just remembering those mini cartoons, the one with the pretty music with the shapes changing into objects, Plus and Minus,Herbie and Lu Lu, Aurelia Opposite City, Snail, Ms. MOLE, Jake, Simon and etc.
Especially that song At Pinwheel's house keep on spinning and spinning around.
So glad I lived in the 1980s.
Wow the memories of just the song. Amazing power it has.
After I quit watching PBS I watched nickelodeon back in 1980. All the time

It's no wonder we feel very Eurocentric. Pinwheel gave us this view of the world across the pond we never knew.
This is beautiful.❤ Born in 79 this was 1 of my favs
I remembered watching this children's show on television.
Remember Plus and Minus. Lol
Ngl this is pretty good aside from the reception
Looks like the copyright at the very end says 1982.

I wonder why. It was great.
Thank you!!!
Boy there is something you dont see anymore a recorder I learned a few tunes when I was 7 or 8 years old.
I wonder if anyone remembers the final Pinwheel episode Episode 260 Or the first episode

It would be nice if all 260 episodes of pinwheel on UA-cam
I would love to see the whole pinwheel series on UA-cam I never had a chance to see it because it ended before 1991 The year I was born
