The Phred on Your Head Show was a TV series on Noggin, 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.

[edit] The Show's Vignettes
[edit] Opening Prologue
This was the show's opening, before anything major happened.

"Once, not so long ago, in a supermarket not so far away... There was Phred (That's Phred with a P-H!). Phred was the mascot for Phred Famous Pickles. Phred was lesured (He means bored. Now get to the chase.) When suddenly, Phred fell down and saw things he never saw before, sweetened pickles, crunchy pickles, beef jerky. When all of the sudden, (Woah! I'm afraid!) Then...(I'll take it from here. The girl took me to noggin.com and now I live in the dot and host The Phred on Your Head Show.).
<--NOTE # 1: Text in parentheses is what Phred says.

[edit] Doug episodes
In the one hour version of the episodes, while Phred was looking for the host, an episode of Doug would air.
[edit] Very Own Personal Themesong
When the host came into Phred's dot, he suggested that they listen to the host's very own personal theme song. It went like this:
- (name)x5
- This is (name)'s very own personal theme song
- On the Phred on Your Head Show (That's "Phred" with a P-H)
- (unknown)*
- On the Phred on Your Head Show (That's "Show" with an S-H)
- With (name) as your host, we'll ???*, ???*, and play Pickles to Pluto
- Let's not run out of time* (Hey that last doesn't rhyme!)
- It's Noggin.com
- ???*
- ???...ow* (Hello?)
- So let's end this so before it gets too long (Too late!)
- (name) is the host with the most as you know
- (Opening): And now enjoy the Phred on Your Head Show with (name) as your host
- (Closing): We've hopped you've enjoyed the Phred on Your Head Show with (name) as your host
- It's the Phred (with a P-H) on Your Head Shooooow!
Lyrics with * mean the same thing as Note # 2.
[edit] Dirk Niblick of the Math Brigade
There would also be a "Dirk Niblick" case from Square One TV.
[edit] Short Films by Kids
There would also be a short film by a kid made for Noggin or Nickelodeon.
[edit] Phred's Got Mail
Phred would get mail and answer the question it containted. Once, Phred got a letter asking if he has ever been to Kentucky. Phred explained about Kentucky, but later tells the audience that he has never even been to Kentucky!
[edit] "Noggin" Commercials
Noggin-made commercials would occasionally air on both formats of "Phred".
[edit] Street Skits
Sometimes, a skit from Sesame Street aired on Phred, usually the one-hour format.
[edit] Mathnet Portion
After the second-to-last scene plays in the weekday version, a case from Mathnet (also from Square One TV) shows without an introduction from either the host or Phred. The case would be aired one part at a time (i.e. one episode had part one, and four episodes later the fifth and final part of the case would air). "Mathnet" was obviously a parody of the popular police procedural drama show Dragnet.
