I second that!  Hated Pinwheel.  I can remember sitting in front of the

That on Television comes on?" I was cool ^_^

Quick math:

2000 - 16 = 84. 

I was born in 1975. I remember watching Nickelodeon as soon as my 
parents got cable in the early/mid 80's. Shows like Turkey TV, Pinwheel,
Dangermouse, Out of Contorl, Mr. Wizard, Mysterious Cities of Gold, 
Belle and Sebastion, Today's Special, and You Can't Do That on Television. 
This was pre Double Dare and pre Clarissa and pre Count Duckula. I also
remember some show about a gnome whose voice is Tom Bosley in my
head, but I don't know if that's actually who it is. Oh, some show
about a koala. Oh, and Sparticus. I always thought Arkadia was a cool
name for a place! And the Little Prince too. 

If Nick wasn't started before you were born, it was started when
you were 1 or 2 definitely. But I'd guess it had to be a little
bit well known to get picked up by cable companies in the midwest
where I grew up *grin*

The information presented on Fruvous.com is as up to date as
there is publically available mostly. If someone doesn't trust
Fruvous.com, they can email Jude at Moxy Fruvous Headquarters
at moxy@passport.ca and ask her for the official word.

I disagree with the statement that at this time last year
they had a full schedule. Historically, the band takes the
beginning of each year off to rest and/or work on an album
of some sort (last year it was Thornhill, the year before Live
Noise, and Moon the year before that, etc). Tour dates don't
normally start sprouting up until May again. Anything before then
is usually sporadic and centered around something either important
like the Folk Gala or college shows that they probably booked way
in advance or other special events.

Be patient, tour dates for the summer usually trickle out between
now and April. Keep an eye on Fruvous.com and you'll get the
latest info available to all of us.

The concerts on the website are the only ones that they have
*Announced*.  That does not mean that these are the only concerts that
there will be, but that is all any of us know about at this point.  I'd
suspect that there will be a few more dates as time goes on.  	

As far as comparing this year's schedule to last, I'd postulat that you
had best prepare yourself for a less, um, comprehensive season. 
Everything I've heard seems to indicate that the amount of touring will
be much smaller in 2000 than it has been in the past couple of years.

what about "kids write"? that's the first nickelodeon show i remember
watching (and singing the theme song to, "kids write! doo, doo, doo,
kids write!"), back in '81 or so.... it was a bunch of people in
leotards with big blocks and platforms for a set, and they would act out
things that kids wrote and sent in. i wrote a whole bunch of stuff, but
i don't think i ever sent any of it.

...on a related note, i also wrote a lot of bad "whammy" poems for that
game show with the whammys.... what was that one called?

Ren and Stimpy maybe? That was on Nick till it moved to MTV. Then
they editted and forced John K to make it Nick-able, then he quit.

Does John K do Cow and Chicken now? It would make sense. It seems

Maybe that was it. I don't really remember, all I remember was it didn't 
start til like 10:00 in the morning and when you're little you're up WAY 
before that and I'd bore myself out of my mind because no one else was up. My 
brother would get up a little before 10 so we could watch it together.

Wouldn't surprise me. I never really got into Cow and Chicken though. It's on 
Cartoon Network right? (Okay, pop quiz, when did THAT start? As in Cartoon 
Network).

Reading Rainbow! Yay, this was one of my faves. I remember being so excited 
to see the first episode (Miss Nelson is Missing), little bookworm/kids show 
junkie that I was.

Hey, I see no one's mentioned Square One yet (the only way I ever enjoyed

Hee hee! Sally, that's great. But I think I can beat you for sheer 
weirdness:

Junior year, I was taking my final exam in Modern Irish Lit, and I had been 
sleep-deprived for about 2 days. During the middle of the exam, I fell 
asleep and dreamed this bizarre little dream about Muppets. When I woke up a 
few minutes later, I saw that I had continued to write while asleep, and my 
essay on Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was now riddled with 
references to Kermit, Floyd, and Rowlf! Sad but true.

I know. And here I thought I was at least half-Murray's people. He always 
seems to end up in other bands, or wearing underwear on his head, or 
something. Peter Tork should definitely fill in for Murray when he's stuck 
in the bass, or maybe when he's on a reunion tour with his first band, the 
Moody Blues.

I was a total Davy devotee when I was younger, and Nick used to rerun "The 
Monkees." VH1 reran them again 2 or 3 years ago, when I was finally old 
enough to grasp the glory of Peter Tork. You laugh, but one of my friends 
and I have had actual, earnest conversations about this sort of thing.
BTW, Peter is now in this band called Shoe Suede Blues that has a whole 
legion of fans (Shoopies) who follow them wherever they go. Sound familiar?

meghan-darling,

*grin*  that was *exactly* what i thought when i read that line.  that, and
"why hasn't anyone mentioned square one yet?".  and then i read your post...
wow.  i LOVED that show.  i still get the music stuck in my head from time
to time: "use combinatorix, it's a faster way to count... use combinatorix,
and multiply the amount..."  i can remember walking around the playground in
second grade with a friend of mine singing the dirk niblick theme song.  and

tornado won.  and that heartwrenching episode of mathnet where george almost
got crushed in the "chariots of the stars" rental car, and kate picked up

The Square One people (not the ones on the show, which was rather
disappointing) came to my elementary school (about 5th grade, I think)
to find kids to be on one of the "game show" segments.  It was the one
with the pie slices or pizza slices or something.  We got to take tests
and answer questions as part of the selection process.  Two kids from my
class, Rebecca and Andreas were on the show.  It was really exiting.

Hey, wasn't this part of Sesame Street, and it was the thing with the four 
squares on the screen and the little radar thinger going around, 4, 3, 2, 1, 
like at the beginning of the KoS video?  HMmmmm????? or was i just a really 
insane little kid.  But i seriously remember this . . .
i need clarification here, or at the very least commiseration. (sp?)
peace,

Yes!!  I was trying to think of the name of that show all day!  I use to love it!  With the parody of Dragnet, and all that math stuff.  That's the show where I first leard about dodecahedrons and the Fibbonacci sequence and confused my teachers!  I also remember watching the original Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego (with Rockapella) right after it.  I actually wrote to PBS when they took those off the air and replaced Where In The World with Where In Time.
They really should bring those back.  They were great!

Well, I already mentioned "The Third Eye," but does anyone remember "Livewire"?
It was like a pretalk-show-revolution talk show for kids. I remember they had
Dr. Ruth on once, and my parents meandered into the living room and were none
too pleased ;-)

OK, now to veer off of Nickelodeon again (I'll try again, since "Tribes" didn't
ring any bells with anyone ;-)-- anyone remember "The Magic Garden"? It was
like these two hippie girls on swings with daisies that told jokes, and some
weird little guy who lived in a tree... I loved that show when I was like 5.
Much better than that Romper Room show ;-)
