Weinerville

Weinerville is an American variety television series that aired on Nickelodeon from July 11, 1993 to February 17, 1996. This series was based around a giant puppet stage that was designed to look like a city called Weinerville. It was created and hosted by Marc Weiner.

Weinerville's first season aired as part of a two-hour marathon every Sunday on Nickelodeon beginning on July 11, 1993. Weinerville quickly gained popularity; in the middle of the first season, on November 15, 1993, Nickelodeon began broadcasting it on weekday afternoons. Marc and his Weinerville characters hosted Nick New Year's, a New Year's Eve television special akin to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve for the child demographic. Airing in 1993 and 1994, the New Year's Eve specials feature host segments, which serve as wraparounds for the best Nicktoons and shows of that year, where Weinerville characters read letters from viewers about their New Year's resolutions while counting down to midnight, at which point they celebrated by shooting slime into the sky.

For the 40-episode second season, which premiered on March 21, 1994, episodes aired daily and were later part of the Stick Stickly show Nick in the Afternoon, which includes Marc as Dottie in some segments. [citation needed]

Weinerville was filmed at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida. Its format is an audience-participation comedy series that focuses on Weiner and his puppets making a show. While early episodes do not have much of a plot or story line the show started to integrate these elements later in season one. In addition to 68 normal episodes, Nickelodeon aired five Weinerville television specials.

Following the first segment and a prelude to "Playland", the viewers watch cartoons of Mr. Magoo, Honey Halfwitch, The Alvin Show, Gerald McBoing-Boing, Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse, and Batfink.

The puppets below feature Weiner's head and a puppet body; their parts are pre-taped so that Weiner can interact with them.
