The Phred on Your Head Show
Encyclopedia
The Phred on Your Head Show is a TV series on Noggin; now Nick Jr.
, made especially for it. On Saturdays and Sundays, it was 30 minutes; on weekdays, one hour. Each day, Big Voice
gave Phred information about and the name of that episode's host (who would be a kid) and Phred
would get out of his dot in Noggin.com, the channel's official website, and hop from head to head searching for the host. When Phred finally found the host, he told the "crew" or "boys" to "pickle"
him/her and they were teleported into noggin.com, where Phred asked them what they wanted to do first.
Once upon a time, not so long ago, in a supermarket not so far away... There was Phred That's Phred with a P-H!. Phred was one of the kajillion little mascots for Phantasic Pickles. Phred was leisured. He means bored and so is everyone else, so get to the juicy part of the story, please! When all of a sudden, Phred's jar of pickles rolled wildly. He saw things he'd never seen before! Sweet pickles, dill pickles, chunky beef. Woah! Help me, find me, please! I'm free! And then...I'll take it from here. Then, I told her I was curious. I wanted to know stuff. I needed a place to think. And faster than you can say "Not delicious!" three times, she transported me to a whole new world. And now, Phred lives in the dot of Noggin.com, but since he's so fun to foreheads, he hops from noggin to noggin to host his very own TV show. And that's how I went from pickle jar to TV star!
