I have only very vague memories of "Pinwheel." I remember the theme song and the characters, and some of the other little cartoons shown during it's run, but ask me to go into details about episodes, then you've lost me. My family didn't get cable until 1987, when I was five, and even still, I was more of a "Sesame Street" kind of gal. The cartoons I remember best were "Emily," "Hattytown Tales," "Bod," "Paddington," "Curious George," and "Bunny in the Suitcase" (which I think was my favorite out of all the cartoons they played). The show may have been a "low-budget Sesame Street rip-off" (seriously, someone did describe it as such), but if you stop and think about it, would Nickelodeon be the channel it is today if not for "Pinwheel?" Give this show a break, people. It's a cute little show for little kids, and without it, you might not even have Spongebob Squarepants. Think about that.
