Contributing Member UKRay Posted November 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted November 1, 2008 Yeah, we had all those shows down here and like Ray, I didn't take to the Waltons, No, no, no, Tony - you misunderstood - the Waltons were great! I loved 'em. They were just too unreal for words and nothing really bad ever happened - and even if it did it was fixed by the end of the show. Surely that is the essence of a truly great western? The guy with the white hat turns up and the guys in black hats are all chased out of town... On a slightly different tack, but with a strikingly similar set of storylines we also had Skippy the Bush Kangaroo which was a huge favorite with my little sisters. I saw kangaroo burgers on sale in a restaurant once and just had to try a 'Skippy Burger' so I could wind them up... What happened to Skippy - is he still around? I wish I had seen Rin Tin Tin - what a great name! Quote "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk

The child star, Tony Bonner, is suing for royalties as they never thought it would be shown around the world for so long. Whenever I see a 'roo, I picture meat or skin. Tony. Quote
