Found this recently on a tape I got with Nickelodeon from 1987. I will upload the commercials from this tape seperately. The tape was actually moldy and @TheToonArchivist helped me save it. Enjoy the nostalgia and lost media! 🙂📼
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.
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.
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.
