Check in on the Scottish Terminology thread...we were discussing Canada, and also wondered about Australia. You are the expert we need to tell us more about your country!

wren

oh wren.....what about a rough and tough Aussi immortal!

Why did that make me think of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. (A TV series that was just like Flipper - but with a Kangaroo instead of a Dolphin)

I remember Mr. Kangaroo. Does that count?

Was that Mr. Kangaroo, or Captain Kangaroo?

Oh yeah Captain Kangaroo. Oops. See brain is fried from too much work and no play.

Come on, everyone sing along now,

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo,
Skippy, Skippy, Skippy our friend ever true.

This was a staple among the overseas imports on British children's TV in the 60's, along with other great stuff like Champion The Wonder Horse and the previously mentioned Flipper.

Those bring back memories. Makes me think of watching Little House on the Prairie and Benji. I miss those shows.

No, no, now you should be singing..

They call him Flipper, Flipper
Faster than lightning.
No one, you see, is smarter than he

And we know Flipper lives in a
World full of wonder
Flying there under, under the sea.

[I just looked up the lyrics and can't believe I got all but one word right! {-- I fixed it --} It's been ages since I've seen that show.]

Wow, I never even knew the lyrics. All I am remember is "They called him flipper part". Thanks Denise for the great memorablia.

I remember that show Jill.
Knock, knock jokes form Mr. Moose

Mr. Spice....I went to the Zoo where SKIPPY was filmed at! wow that brings back memories!!

Well if we are gonna go down memory lane. Let's not forget the original Sesame Street. Snuffleaphagus rocked.

And then there was Mr. Rogers. Won't you be my neighbor?

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers and griping that the Watergate trials were interrupting all my shows!

Anyone remember Jem and the Holograms? Jem's secret identity was Jerrica and the rival band was The Misfits. What about Kidd Video? with Master Blaster "I'm taking you...to the Flip Side! Bwwhaha!"

If you go to YouTube someone has stuff posted for Jem. In fact, the first couple of episodes are up there divided into parts. I think I'm going to have the theme song stuck in my head for a while now

Jem, be a Jem girl, Jem is my name *humming*

It's hard to believe how old I feel watching these shows. The fashions, the music, everything is so dated. Oh, well. We all have to grow up sometime.
