About the Show
Pinwheel is a children's program
similar to Sesame Street which aired on Nickelodeon (the network
itself was formerly called Pinwheel) from 1979-1990, and spanned
260 hour-long episodes. It usually ran in blocks of 3-5 hours, and
featured in each episode many types of animated shorts from around
the world as well as segments with live actors interacting with
puppets, depicting daily life around the house. The live action
characters included the elderly couple Sal and Smitty who ran
The Daily Noodle, Jake, Coco the mime, and Kim. The puppet
characters included Plus and Minus, Aurelia the gypsy, Silas the
snail, the green Oscar the Grouch type character named Ebenezer T.
Squint, Luigi who ran a produce stand, and Molly the mole. For the
generation growing up at that time, Pinwheel was a staple of
childhood.

Lyrics to the Theme Song:
Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around
Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found
Pinwheel, pinwheel, where have you been?
Hello, how are you, and may I come in?
Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around
Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found
Pinwheel, pinwheel, breezy and bright
Spin me good morning, spin me good night
Pinwheel

About the DVDs
Pinwheel is available in a set of three
DVDs containing approximately five-and-a-half hours of material
from the TV series, plus bonus material available from The Stuff I
Like Site only. Bonuses include one episode of David the Gnome, and
two episodes of the live-action children's show Today's Special
(starring a department store mannequin named Jeff who comes alive
after closing-time and has adventures with his friends). Each DVD
has menus with sound for easy selection of material, which runs in
chronological order. You will receive the discs only, which are
enclosed in paper sleeves and carefully packaged for shipping; no
case or cover art is included.
This set comes on DVD-R, which will play on almost all DVD
players as well as a computer with a DVD-ROM drive and appropriate
DVD-viewing software. I use only genuine top quality DVD-R media
from Verbatim, Sony, or TDK for maximum quality and
compatibility.
The quality is an
eight out of ten (see the screen capture links
above for examples). You may have seen a similar two-disc DVD set
being sold on eBay, iOffer, or similar web sites. My set includes
the same Pinwheel material, but I have employed the use of color
correction and audio restoration to improve the quality as well as
reauthored the DVDs with more attractive menus. I'm offering this
improved set due to popular demand from my visitors.
What the Set Includes:
Disc One
1 hour and 24 minutes of continuous Pinwheel
footage, including original classic commercials
EXCLUSIVE BONUS
Unavailable ANYWHERE else
David the Gnome: episode one

Disc Two

Store Policies
Return Policy:
All discs are checked to be in perfect working
condition before they are shipped, but in the unlikely event that
any disc is damaged during shipping or not functioning properly,
you may return the faulty disc(s) and I will replace them for free.
Due to the nature of these discs (in that they can be copied
relatively easily) and the fact that the price you pay is for time
and materials, I do not issue refunds, only replacements.
If you do have any problems with the
discs or need a replacement, I'm always available to help out and
answer any questions you may have.
Buyer's Agreement - Before ordering, please make sure you
read completely, understand, and agree to the following:
The discs featured in this store are unofficial, fan-made
products. They are available purely for other fans of these
productions to enjoy because they were never, or are no longer,
available commercially. No profit is made from the distribution of
these discs.
These are collector to collector
trades, no rights are given or implied, and any costs involved are
attached to time, labor, materials, and machine wear and
tear.
Countless hours and dollars from my own
pocket went into the creation of these discs. I make these sets
myself and need to be compensated for my own work or I cannot
continue offering these sets and creating more. Please support me
in further releases of rare cartoons from the past:
do not redistribute my work in any fashion, including copying,
reselling, or uploading. My products are for personal use
only.
