Old Nickelodeon shows...
 

I used to love nickelodeon as a kid (80's)...it seemed that most of the day was taken up by a show called "Pinwheel" (Pinwheel, pinwheel spinning around...)

Pinwheel is the series that had picture page, curious george, today's special and simon and the land of chalk drawings...

I was wondering if anyone else had any memories of Pinwheel or other early Nickelodeon shows (Double Dare etc...)

:)

"I don't know" ... (runs and hides)

I miss the good ol' days of <I>Hey Dude</I> and <I>You Can't Do That on Television</I>.

Who remembers "How To Be Swell" PSAs?

Or ... "It's <I>My Three Sons</I> ... they're my three sons ... it's <I>My Three Sons</I> on Nick-at-Nite. They've got a dad ... his name is Steve ... and then there's Bub ... it's <I>My Three Sons</I>!"

I don't remember Pinwheel but I do remember Today's Special. Is not that the one with the maniquin who if you put that hat on him he would come alive but he would always end up tripping or something and would turn back into a maniquin?

I remember Pinwheel, I think I watched it a lot but I don't remember it being one of my favorites.
I loved You Can't Do That on Television, Belle and Sebastian, and Mysterious Cities of Gold.

I'm glad someone else remembers these toons. I mentioned the Mysterious Cities of Gold one time to my friends and they thought I was making it up.

Don't forget about Spartacus! But, that one was a little weird.

I remember You Can't Do That On Television with Moose, Lisa Ruddy, Kevin Kubachevski, Ross, etc.. and Danger Mouse, The Third Eye, Out Of Control with Dave Coullier.

I remember "Under the Mountain" from The Third Eye with big sluggy aliens.

I remember most of the ones listed above...along with Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts.

Wow - I thought I was the only one that remembered Today's Special. I used to watch that everyday when I was a kid. Wasn't the mannequin's name Jeffrey, or something like that?

Man, those were the days. I loved that show. I guess their current show "All That" is kind of like it...

Secret World of Alex Mack !!

Larisa Oleynik :D

Re: Old Nickelodeon shows...
 

I remember Picture Page but it wasn't on Nickelodeon, it was on in the early morning at a local TV station...but that was a very long time ago.

And who didn't love You Can't Do that On Television and who didn't know for a fact that they could kill on Double Dare.

I have found a few other people who remember the show but there are plenty of people who look at me like I'm crazy. I told one of my friends about it a few years ago and she said she'd never heard of it, but then I downloaded the opening to it and played it for her, it turns out that she had seen it and enjoyed it. :p

Man, I love all those shows...ahhhhh...memores....

Children of the sun
See your time has just begun
Searching for your way
Thru adventures every day
Everyday and night
With the condor in flight
With all your friends in tow
We search for the Cities of Gold

I remember :) They re-used music from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in it or vice versa.

I liked the "Finders Keepers" gameshow where they had to find hidden items in a house that was built on the stage.

I didn't like the game show where they just played video games. I can't remember what it was called, but what is more boring than watching people play video games on TV. I think the host also sung along whatever he was saying after they played these games to the tune of the video game music. That was annoying.

Come on, where are all the geeks here? :) My all time Nickolodean favorite as a kid: The Tomorrow People! Just loved it. Another show practically no one has heard of.

Loved those! rotfl

My fave Nickolodeon show as a child was 'Pinwheel'.. I remember watching it just before going to school. The memories, the memories! Wasn't 'Picture Page' on PBS? I think I watched that a few times as well. I remember 'Today's Special' as well, I think.. Wasn't that the one where they were in a shop and it had a little mouse or something? When I advanced in my years, I spent a lot of time watching all the reruns of 'Hey Dude' and 'Clarissa Explains It All'. :) 'Pete and Pete' was good too. Its weird seeing the older Pete in commercials nowadays, though. :)

I loved the old shows in Nick.

You Can't do that on Television was my favorite.
I still can't beleive that was Alanis Morissette...

Also good was

Clarissa Explains it all.
Dangermouse
Count Duckula
Pete & Pete
Ren & Stimpy
Double Dares
Out of Control
Mr. Wizards World
Hey Dude

Its nice to see some of the people that were on those shows in new shows and movies.

Well... not the cartoons, obviously ;)

The one guy from Hey Dude is on Sebrina the Teenage Witch.. and he looks pretty much the same.

Isn't the older Pete in that new movie Slackers?

Pinwheel
You Can't Do That on Television
Hey Dude!
Mr. Wizard
Double Dare

...were all the shows I watched religiously as a kid...

Great stuff!

Clarissa was a good show.

I always hated Alex Mack, because I felt like they never had her using her superpowers that much. I've always thought that telekenesis would be the coolest superpower ever, and she never used it. It was depressing.

Finally, although I haven't seen it in several years, so it might be the younger person in me talking, but I think The Adventures of Pete and Pete was one of the most brilliant shows of all time. I really miss that.

I always thought "Moose" was hot.

I was watching Finders Keepers yesterday.

I guess picture page was on a lot of different channels...I actually know someone who bought the pen but it didn't make the cool little beepy noise...

Todays Special was awesome...there was Jody, she was the lady, there was Sam, he was some sort of detective muppet, there was Muffy the mouse who lived in the deluxe condo in the wall, and Jeff the mannequin who froze when his hat fell off and they had to day abbra cadabra or something...very very cool show :)

I was hoping someone would post this!! I couldn't remember the name of this show, but I remember that I thought it was pretty cool when I was a kid.

All I can really remember about the show was that the kids were able to "transport" around, kind of like in Star Trek.

It's actually listed on imdb. I had no idea it was as old as it is.

I remember all these old shows...

I lied about my age, said I was a year older, so they'd let me try out for Double Dare.

I didn't make it.

I remember really liking Roundhouse, though... Vague memories of a 'speed racist' sketch, which seems really un-Nickelodeon at this point. And Pete & Pete was great...

There are a disturbing number of people from old Nick shows moving on to bigger'n'(supposedly)better things.

Hey i just came across this Count Duckula in region 02, does anyone know of any plans to bring this to Region 01????
Id love to get some of thoes old Nickelodeon(sp) cartoons on DVD

Re the teleporting, yes, I tried hard to "jaunt" myself; never seemed to work though. :)

Thanks for the imdb link; kind of cool to see it there. Would make a very nostalgiac DVD set!

You just gave me an odd feeling deap inside with those memories of Pinwheel

"Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around.
Look at my pinwheel and see what I found.

Pinwheel, pinwheel, where have you been?
Hello, how are you, and may I come in?

Pinwheel, pinwheel, shiny and bright,
spin me good morning, spin me good night."

omg! You rock! Those images are great! I love the guy who grew weeds. And the guy with the boxes that made different sounds and the lady with the crystal ball with the mime inside...oh and the two bees out in the garden :) >sign< those were the good ol days...

This thread has surprised me that so many people remember "Today's Special".

That show was really great. I still clearly remember how sad I was when Nickelodeon replaced that show with "Maya the Bee"! :(

Am I the only person that loved the teen soap drama Fifteen?

:-)

no, you're not ;)
