"Agro", "Round The Twist", "The Ferals" and "Lift Off" were the Australian shows I watched when I was a kid

[@Niios]

OMG I had forgotten about The Ferals and Feral TV!!

[@scarlettardis2018]

Banana man, Roger ramjet, biker mice from mars, captain planet were good too

[@madenabyss6981]

Ship To Shore, The Miraculous Mellops, The Girl From Tomorrow

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.

[@weresmurf5731]

We used to love speaking to Jamie when he'd turn up at school Fete's to do shows as Agro. I loved that no matter how big he got, he always had time to go to the small events around Brisbane :)

Tell Jamie he needs to revive Agro for an adults only show lol

[@dadoftwinsau]

@@rivertam7827 We’ve spoken about if he would ever do a ‘come back’, but in today’s PC world he’d never be able to get it past the ‘woke’ censorship rules. He’s pushing 70 and he’s more family oriented these days with Kym (his wife). ✌🏻

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 :)

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.

[@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.

[@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 🤣

[@davidr7813]

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

[@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.

[@valwebb7640]

My kids were remenising about this show yesterday. They see it completely differently as adults. Most memorable moment was naked Agro..... 🤣

[@davidmcmanus9022]

I was about 8 when this came out. I watched the show religiously. It was a lot of fun. My mum used to crack up at it too. It was on for a number of years. Good times.

[@NigelMitchell-ix1zh]

This brings back so many wonderful memories. I think there were probably more adults watching the shows than children - I know I was one of them. It was an extremely well produced show 👍

[@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.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

Ann-Marie was the one host every young viewer's dad wanted to be close friends with. 😉 Then came Ranger Stacey. 😂

Thanks for bringing it up. This kids' show won seven Logies in a row. A Logie is a television award in Australia.

[@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!

[@Lex-Hawthorn]

What do you think Red? .. 0. go away. LOL

Round The Twist was fabulous.

I used to watch this before going to school in the 80s.

@@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.

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?
