I'm taking some initiative here and emailing a Nickelodeon representative/staff member.

Smart, but you have to remember this is a Nickelodeon from a different age. They are most likely not going to be able to help.

I'm sure they keep everything they put out to air on record.

But this is old. Really old.

This anything to do with it OP? I have no idea if it's been posted, this was aired in the US in the late 80's though.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Had a bit of a look, no luck.
I guess you have some of your information wrong, afterall it was a long time ago.

Also, someone looking for it probably copy pasted your OP on fourchin, looking for it.

And after 28 years, the mystery is solved.

If we could do it in about.... 2 hours, 4chan could've done it in 10 minutes, probably.

Thats not it

A description

PreS-Gr 2-Four-year-old Alfie Atkins does not want to go to sleep. His father assists him in a variety of bedtime rituals, but still the child asks for more. When he calls for his teddy, Daddy does not come, so Alfie goes looking for him and finds his exhausted parent asleep on the floor. He tucks him in and then goes to sleep himself. The book was originally published in 1972 in Sweden, and the stylized art features a palette that will cry out "1970s" to adults (scraps of fabric incorporated into the pictures add an interesting texture to the bold colors). The father smokes a pipe throughout. The old-fashioned aspects of the illustrations are likely to be lost on children. This timeless story features a father-son interaction without unnecessary fanfare, but has limited child appeal.-Genevieve Gallagher, Murray Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA

I don't think it is. The rest of the plot is written down there, and there is no mention as to a creepy monster.

I think you are right. But you never know, 28 years does weird things to a memory.

Based on his description, I think it may be Alfie though.

If it was on pinwheel, its on this site

Maybe we should look up every short by name as they are listed here? We should find it.

Someone should email the guy who runs it. He might know (considering he's a Pinwheel fanatic).

I think it might just be a repressed memory of an overly protective father figure who died suddenly, hence "clock man." The memory over the years has manifested itself with a cartoon that the person had associated with at the moment that the incident happened.

I have Coup 5, I just can't be arsed setting it up.

The 'scariest' episode of Alfie, but no clockman. I don't think it's Alfie unless the OP is misremebering.

Of course it could all be a figment of his imagination. I have a 'memory' from before I was 5, of my entire family being attacked by a birdman. It's as vivid as any memory from last year but it doesnt exist. Could be something similar.

I watched the whole video - hoping to see Clock Man...

Although I nostalgia'd everywhere (this exact cartoon WAS on Pinwheel (in English)) - It is not the cartoon I'm looking for.

I'll keep looking. This is as close as I've ever gotten to to Clock Man before.

And to everyone. Thank. You. I truly am greatful. Clock Man is out there some where.I hope we meet again someday.

You're welcome, Santa. I'd be doing this even if there is no reward because 1.) It's fun and 2.) I can see you really want to find him.

:) We'll find it, Santa.

Thanks Shadow. I've always wanted to ask somebody - but it just seemed like it'd be too hard to describe. I almost feel guilty for everybody helping. But if I see him come out of that clock again it's going to be freking awesome. I'll face him as an adult after all these years. I wonder if he'll still be scary...

And as far as rewards... I think anybody that owns an Xbox and has an internet connection might find a PM from me rewarding - if they can locate Clock Man. Possibly...
