Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, maybe?

Yes! That's it.

Yay, now I know what I was watching all that time. Thanks Tigerlilly. You'd think I would make the connection between 'little fairy tale show' and 'Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics' huh? Oh well. Thanks again.

Hey do you remember "Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around. Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found. Pinwheel, pinwheel breezy and bright. Spin me good morning and spin me goodnight....PINWHEEL!"

I totally remember that show and its song.

I also remember Today's Special. They had an episode about "X marks the spot" (X marks the spot, the spot that means alot....you really know when you're getting hot because the X...da-da da-da....marks the spot!)

I would watch Pinwheel every day when I was little. From the time it started, to when it went off. My mom would try to get me to take a nap after that, but then it was time for Today's Special!

I went to a taping of Legends of the Hidden Temple once. It's much more lame in person. Ever wonder how the kids would get all wet and be dry in the next scene? Nick taped 3 shows at once. With 3 sets of audiences. They'd do the first set of stunts for 3 different shows with one audience, and then switch out the audience for the next stunts, etc.

I was a huge CEIA fan, and Roundhouse and Ren and Stimpy. I have about 10 6 hour tapes full of old-school SNICK, minus AYAOTD, because I thought it was kinda lame. I looooooved Roundhouse, and probably could still sing most of the songs from that show!

On Global GUTS, when Moira Quirk explains the rules, sometimes, they use the same shot of Mo. Nickelodeon is real cheap. And in the first epidsode, the scoreboard in the third event reads Bem, Chirstopher, and Michal. The contestants in the first epidsode were Marco, Jenifer and Lorriane.

Haha, I didn't even know the name. I just saw it on that webpage with the songs and thought that that could be it.

OMG!!!! i loved ALL these shows you guys mentioned. i was a HUGE pinwheel fan (the green guy....scrooge??...was hard core) as well as today's special. big fan!

as far as the koala show....that, i believe, was called "the noozles"

(unless you're talking about something else) loved that show, too....and what was that show that had the lil penguin and the other lil animals in it??? anyone know what i am talking about? prob not with such a lil description, but that show was fantastic.

anyone watch weenerville? that's not that old school, but i did watch it every morning when i was in the 8th grade b/4 i went to school.......he showed the old school alvin and the chipmunks and mr magoo cartoons.....

no hatin on any old "snick" shows....are you afraid of the dark was my stuff! never liked ren and stimpy, though. roundhouse was great! the girl with the orange hair and the big nose was my favorite!!! lol

<sniff> this makes me feel so sad/old!!!!

ETA: anyone mention/remember "don't just sit there"......and i answered my own questions about the whole koala thing by going to the nick page....so nevermind.

There were 2 "koala" shows. There was the "Noozles" where the bears would come alive or something if you rubbed them on their nose. Then there was the Adventures of the Little Koala. I loved me some Little Koala, the summer of 1987. It came on M-TH and then that lame-ass Mapletown came on Fridays. Used to tick me off because I couldn't get 5 days of Little Koala.

i think we should start lobbying nickelodeon to start a old school nick channel. don't they have like nick at night and stuff like that?

AXJules · #40 04-13-2004, 05:24 PM

So today ,I'm sitting in class and all of a sudden in my head I'm singing
"Whenever my life gets me so down
I know I can go down
To where the music and the fun never ends
As long as the music keeps playing
You know what I'm saying
I know where I can find a frieeeeeeeeeeeeend....
ITS AT THE ROUNDHOUSE!!!"

Wow I didn't even know I knew the words to that. OY.

OK yeah I knew there were 2. I just couldn't remember the name of the other one!! Is the Noozles there ones who has like magical powers and they like went to another land? Know what I'm talking about? It was like a lnad that only they could go to?

juniorgrrl · #42 04-14-2004, 01:00 AM

Yeah, that was the Noozles.

My fiance and I are such dorks; we still know the theme to the Little Koala...I have it saved on my computer somewhere, I think.

Is that the one where there was one koala who was gray, and I think a boy, and then he had a little sister who was pink? And they hung out with this little girl and took her into that other land sometime?

If so...what on earth was the little koala show then? I listened to the theme song and remembered it, so I know I watched that show, too, I just can't remember what it was about.

bwahahahaha i love this thread! when we were in rome- my friends and i were totally reminiscing the entire time about all these shows- and then i come back to this- its great!

i LOVED sharon, louis and bram, legends of the hidden temple- you cant do that on television.... and everything you guys named

but i have to say i am quite partial to the fairly oddparents- that show rocks

but we should definately lobby to have nick start an old school channel- it would be great fun watching drunk lol

Oh my gosh!!! Me and my friend were talking about this show last week, but we could not think of the name of that show for anything. I remember the theme song, "kukamunga oh yeah oh yeah" but we couldn't think of the name of the show. Thanks !!!
