Banter RDT CLXVVIX - Forward Press Down

[RookiePick]

I've got the Paul Jennings book collections and trying to force my kids to read them. They don't mind them but don't get the same level of joy I got from reading them.

Have you considered telling your children they are philistine campaigners?

I tell them over breakfast most mornings!

Round the Twist > Ship to Shore

 

[Ochre]

Ship to Shore was the absolute peak of Australian television. But it was early to mid 90s, I don't remember Ochre 's little horse show being on then.

Did they have television back then? Crazy hearing stories of the olden days.

 

[Dazzler9]

I've never heard of Saddle Club either to be fair. Is it like My Little Ponies, or something?

Fun fact, the guy who played Calvin worked at the local Maccas. Boy he copped some shit.

Australians are hilarious - here's a kid living most kid's dream being in a TV show and he still cops an absolute dumping.

Ohh, it was nothing to do with the show, was just cause he's a ranga

It was both, actually.

I despised it with every fibre of my being (because my sisters were obsessed) and never bothered with it but I believe it was tween girls at a riding school having adventures resolved by riding horses.

And on lifts etiquette; mother *ers who try to enter the lift before letting others out make me straight up rage.

Worse if its a packed train in a peak rush

Oh I never actually watched it, the theme song was just a banger

 

[Ochre]

I always got that one confused with the Sleepover Club.

That filmed an episode in a house on my street growing up, and a guy in my class got to be an extra in a scene at the beach.

My life goal as a kid was to get on to A*Mazing. That show looked beasty. Despite being the unco little fat kid I reckon I would've smashed 90% of the kids on that show because I knew all the spots.

Don't forget Time Masters

I left out Now You See It simply coz of that arrogant little shit of a robot, oh how I'd like to smash his face in!

Reddick was Irvin Irving in Bosch. Was awesome!!!

 

[Mop]

Oh, and Lift Off. Weird show that one. Interesting story. It had the dudes behind Sesame Street shit scared because of its potential so supposedly they offered a LOT of money for the rights to Lift Off so they could take it out the back and put a bullet in it.

The dude behind Lift Off refused and Lift Off lasted like two more seasons before being killed it.

It was the creepy faceless doll that kinda made it weird for me, but it was blank so it could represent every child - thats what its name meant. EC. Every Child

He played Irving flawlessly. Ive read all the books (except the most recent 2, old Bosch isnt that interesting) and Reddick turned an interesting small role character into a living marvel
