I loved Agro. When I was about 6 or 7 years old, my family and I were in the studio audience for an episode of Agro. I remember we all got a goodie bag and after filming the cast signed things for us. I was so excited and had such a great time that I wrote a song about going to the Agro show. Lol. Growing up in the 90s was the best.

[@davidr7813]

I used to delay leaving for school to watch as much of Agro as possible, you never knew what he would say.

[@juanitaleak6482]

Seriously this show is an icon of Australian tv. It was so funny & I watched this growing up & it was so silly & fun & parents also liked it. It cracked me up. So good seriously.

[@rubytuesday5412]

As young adults my mates and I would have a 🚬 and laugh and laugh till our faces hurt! Agro, so funny and naughty!

[@weresmurf5731]

Agro first appeared on WOMBAT in the mid 80s. He was popular and got his own show, Agros Cartoon connection. He had a weekday show with characters like Crikey the Clown, Rommel the Dog and others. He started fairly clean but went pretty damn dirty towards the end! Anne Marie left around half way through the shows run but in real life she isn't ditzy. This was her "act" . She definitely knew how to enhance a skit big time. Fun fact: I once had a seizure infront of her in the late 90s at the opening of a Timezone arcade in Brisbane city when they had her and Agro there as special guests (he did a pre-recorded video). Apparently she freaked out but was quite concerned and checked up about me later on. Quite sweet of her :)

Our family is still friends with Jamie Dunn to this day. He currently works on radio on the Sunshine Coast. Agro is an absolute legend and I think this is where half the Aussie kids got their sense of humour from. Cheeky, smart arse larrikin with a quick whit.

[@sdev2749]

As an Aussie this show brings back great memories. I was already in my 20's when it was on air but we all watched it anyway because the humor was very adult. Jammie Dunn who is the puppeteer of Agro is still around today and often makes appearances with Agro to this day.

[@MrDragonflair]

My dad, rest his soul, was in his 20s when agro was airing too, he and his mates once did a 139km trip in 40 minutes just to get home in time to watch agro, so i think more adults watched it aswell 🤣

[@taniaPBear]

There were so many shows like this around that time. Shows for kids that had cartoons interspersed with segments from presenters, with usually a puppet or costumed character of some kind that would push the boundaries of kids/adult content. I was a teenager at this point, and this was unmissable T.V. for us. 🤣❤

[@tkps5079]

Shirley from Skyhooks had Claude the crow. They got away with plenty back then too.

[@mo0ks666]

I'm going to try and recall all of this as best as I can (44 yo male from Brisbane)... The show was called Agro's Cartoon Connection, was filmed in Brisbane in the '90s, and aired on weekday mornings. The show came about because in the 80s there was a show called Seven's Super Saturday Show (or something like that) and Agro was on that show. It had a weekly live audience that was free to attend. I went once... it was cool. Made it on TV too... I digress. Also on this show was Boris the Black Knight. He had the morning cartoon show slot in the 80s, called Boris' Breakfast Club (again, I think that's right, scratchy memory). I found out recently that these shows only aired in Brisbane, so many Aussies may not know any of this. In hindsight, I think it's obvious what the network execs were thinking... Agro was a rude little shit... and kids LOVED him for it! So, that was that... the Saturday show ended, Boris got the flick, and Agro got the weekday morning gig, and went national in the process. Jamie Dunn (Agro's hand) is a funny bastard.

[@ElyseDobson]

I have such fond memories of this show. Us kids loved the 2 of them and so did all the parents. We knew as kids he was very cheeky but most jokes flew over our heads.

[@karenstrong8887]

Love Agro. He was called the talking bath mat and he was rude.🤣

@@kevkoala - You most likely watched it from 1990 onwards, considering the series didn't begin until 1990.

@@erwinzyx Well if that's the case, I have no idea of what I was watching as it was DEFINITELY on between 1989 and 1990 when I finished school. They had the Smurfs or something like that and normally after I left to get the bus was Robotech.

[@terryjohinke8065]

The secret to succes in Australia is humour. Check out "Red Faces" from the late 70s from a show called " Hey Hey It's Saturday" . Red was a rock musician who took on a nasty personality but the acts are incredibly funny. All sorts of Australians , and others, doing stupid acts. Hilarious. We wouldn't go out until we'd had our Saturday night laugh. Now that's where you'll see Australian self deprecating humour. Cheers Mate!

there was actually a live studio audience, I remember going to a taping as a kid, but we all had to remain quiet, a lot of the time we couldn't because Agro would say some stuff that really wouldn't make it to air lol. The one I went to, they had a promotion for 2 minute noodles, and the crew would toss noodles and a stuffed dragon toy into the audience which I think was the mascot for the noodle brand at the time, might have been Maggie? It was so long ago now, but yeah, Agro swears up a storm on the regular lol.

As well as his regular shows, Agro guest starred on other shows like game shows, gardening shows and tv award shows. He was everywhere at one time.

[@luswindow]

I grew up watching Agro on TV and was lucky to go when they were tapping the shows. Each episode was filmed with a live studio audience. We went to about 30 or 40 live tappings and got there early enough to have breakfast with the crew and meet Jamie Dunn (Agro's extension). If you can find any footage of Uncle Vic, Crikey the Clown and Gibbo they were also on the show, funny AF and very good making jokes for both children and adults alike.

[@Zalia38]

I was a teen when this show was on TV and before Agro was Claude the Crow. I use to love watching it with my little brother. The really smutty stuff was cut. However there was still a lot of innuendo adult humour. We also had Hay Hay it's Saturday which was a family show...the puppet Dicky Knee was funny dirty. That was Australian TV back then in the 80's . Now I really do feel old 😅

[@gaildenadic1803]

Another show you might like to check out is Hey Hey It’s Saturday. Started out as a Saturday morning show but eventually went to Saturday nights. Often had international stars that were visiting Australia on the show.

[@liamhaven1442]

I watched agro’s cartoon connection all the time as a kid, it’s absolutely hilarious seeing clips as an adult hahaha. These days it wouldn’t be on air though, especially once all the dirt eventually came out about it.

Another of my all time favourites was the early days of Hey Hey Its Saturday. It was often chaotic especially when they had, Jackie and Molly Meldrum and Gavin Maxwell and so forth. The things they did to those three were absolutely hilarious. When it was moved to early Saturday evening everyone watched it before we all went out for the night. It got kinda tame towards the end even with Red Symons and so forth. It became too 'scripted'. Still funny but missing all the off-the-cuff insanity.
