Proud as an Aussie to say "I never watched a complete episode"

I love the comedy sketches that have been made out of it since though

Re: Did anyone watch Skippy ?

Oh yes, I remember it well:

And you know Skippy, Skippy
Lives in a world full of wonder
Lying Down Under
Under the sea....


That was it, right...?

Re: Did anyone watch Skippy ?

For some reason, the following came into my head ...

"Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo" ... dunno if that means anything.

That was the main thrust of the theme song :

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo
Skippy, Skippy, Skippy, a friend ever true


Beautiful ! Get too close to a Kangaroo in the wild and they kick you from here to kingdom come

That only makes me think kangaroos are higher up on the intelligence scale than people think.

Either that or that's Sean Penn in a kangaroo suit.
