Please, PLEASE tell me someone remembers this.
Back when Nickelodeon spawned the extremely obscure network "Noggin" there was a show called The Phred on your Head Show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phred_on_Your_Head_Show). It featured some kind of tiny green abomination named Phred that had no arms and was obsessed with pickles or something. Each episode he would show the kids around his apartment while spreading the gift of knowledge, answering fan mail, and stating the importance of internet safety.
I swear to god this was real. Unfortunately, it only aired on Comcast digital cable back in 199fucking9 when everyone was still using the dish. I was one of the very, very few people who ever watched this.
To my misfortune, even the internet can't recollect this show. The only thing that I've found so far is the Wikipedia article and a few scattered forum threads. There's no video, and even more insane is that Google Images brings up ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF RELEVANCE.
PLEASE IN THE NAME OF CHRIST FIND ME ANYTHING FROM THIS SHOW. ANYTHING.
Fuck, dude, I looked through pages of this shit and I'm not seeing anything useful. And I like to consider myself good at finding this kind of stuff.
Seems it had a common tie in with Square One TV

I remember not watching it because I thought it sounded dumb.
not being a jerk that's my honest recollection.
Seems it has ALOT in common with square one television, actually! I kind of want to see this now!
