Australian Cultural Attack on the World: Children's TV!

You got that right.

Sorry about the kids' TV shows though. I still remember the dark days of sleepless nights when the kids were babies being made worse by having to watch The Wiggles in the morning. I was more of a Hi-5 kind of dad - having indecent fantasies about the band members of the female persuasion.

 

Mark, at least they are learning good habits from an early age instead of the bad habits at a later age !!

My boy uses Bart Simpson methods as a way of getting something out of me, which "strangely" don't work (the insistent "can I go to xxxxx" only gets me angry with him)

I grew up on Play School ("there's a bear in there") and a naughty girl has turned THAT theme song into something nice to remember

 

i grew up on "number 96" and "the box",

that pretty much explains what went wrong,

but then we all had epsom salt dosages of Homicide and matlock police

 

haha i remember seeing a quote here on fchat i think from one of you yanks who complained that his 3 year old son had an australian accent

edit: found it http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48267

 

More like a "Hell Low"......

 

Im pretty sure that at least one of them is Homosexual, and therefore more likely to talk like a drunkard woman....

And no, we dont talk like Paul Hogan. Or Steve Irwin.

We talk REAL english. Not that fast paced crack you yankees go on with!!

 

I know what you mean Mark.I'm going through the Hi5 stage now with my 2 yr old son.I haven't introduced him to the Wiggles.I too think that the girls on Hi5 are more appealing to the eye than 4 guys in colured skivvies

 

What ever happened to "G'day..."

 

Maybe that was a Kiwi Wiggle. They do have a penchant for mixing up their vowels.

 

Yeah I stopped watching Hi5 when I found out Charlie was married hahaha

Its great to see all these australian shows doing well O/S, now if Steve Irwin would just stop making those stupid quarantine ads!! and get back to the states, CRIKEY!!

 

I worked at a major ISP for 2yrs doing helldesk and I rarely heard anyone answer with a G'Day(we had quite alot of rural customers as well).
Its more face to face then over the fone type greeting IMHO.

 

Please! Don't send him back here. Send him to Dapto.

Many people ask me if I know that idiot. They seem to think that we are ALL like that. Very depressing.....

 

one export i love to watch...footie! Rough ass sport. ESPN always puts it on wierd times. WHAT A RIPPA!

 

Dave, Irwin lives next door to me didn't you know ..... and Hoges is on the other side

Actually the sad thing is that both REALLY are within an hour of me (Irwin Sunshine Coast and Hoges at Byron Bay)

..and NOBODY in the world is like Steve Irwin !!!!

How's the Mondial T going ?

 

Aussie Rules (AFL) or Rugby?

 

AFL
