Secret Squirrel – you kidding.

Of course we know about Secret Squirrel.

First episodes screened a month ago – though the newsreels still take some time to get across the Pacific to view them.

Hey Cheryl J

Wasn’t it just! I remember when I first spied this skit. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon – I guess I must’ve been around 7 or 8 – so we couldn’t kick a footy around the yard – so being boys – mum said we needed to ‘settle down’ after lunch and hence the discovery of this classic – followed closely by Ma and Pa Kettle . . .

Whatever happened to these Saturday afternoon gems?

I love Abbot & Costello. I need to add in Laurel & Hardy, and for a bit of a twist Morocco Mole (Secret Squirrell’s sidekick) although I have a hunch you guys may not have heard of them.

Also Cheryl?

“How humiliating would it have been to have those two leading our country?*shudder*”

I just need to say George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

Who’s on first always had me in stitches when I was a kid. I thought it was the height of cleverness!

Of course Australia has its own Abbott and Costello from the Australian Liberal Party and neither of them are funny…unless you count Tony Abbott’s jug ears. They are pretty funny.

How humiliating would it have been to have those two leading our country?*shudder*
