Pelswick is a 2000 animated television series produced by Nelvana for CBC Television in Canada and the Nickelodeon cable channel in the United States. The series, about a teenage boy who uses a wheelchair, emphasized how he lived a normal life and was based on the books created by John Callahan. Currently, it is no longer airing. FUNimation, a DVD distributor for the United States, considered releasing Pelswick on DVD in 2004, but plans fell through due to a low fan base. It aired on Nick and CBS on September 14, 2002, then ended in November the same year. A remote camera captures a close-up view of a Space Shuttle Main Engine during a test firing at the John C.

Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.
The article could be improved by integrating relevant items into other sections and removing inappropriate items. (June 2007)
  • Nickelodeon network (USA), which is known for airing episodes of shows long after other countries do, actually aired the episode Kick Me Kate before CBC did.
  • The episode It Must Be the Shoes aired 2/3 of a time in the USA. Normally skipped by Nicktoons network, it aired once, but for whatever reason, the episode stopped after the second commercial break (when the boys on the basketball team are forced to stop playing at halftime of their game because all of them failed chemistry). It is possible that there was some music issue involved, as the story also involved Julie and Sandra putting on "a musical version of Charles Dickens" as a cover for practicing for a girls' basketball team.
