Come Christmas, I wonder if she’ll think Six White Boomers is quite so cute.

I believe it was William Randolph Hearst who first said that. Or maybe it was Banjo Paterson.
“What’s that Lassie? Skippy pushed a woman down the well?”
Who knew Skippy was such a bastard?
Oh, thanks, Mangetout. Now I have the Skippy theme music going through my head!
Listen, you bastard, that’s barely suitable payback for both Lassie AND Flipper, that your country forced upon my childhood. 
Not to mention that strange show with the weird loner and the bear. Grizzly Adams?
Be fair! That was a whole decade later, in the Touchy-Feely-'70s!
Anyway, I liked Skippy and Flipper. It’s just that that damned banjo keeps picking in my brain!
It’s the touchy-feely part that worries me. What was it with that bloke and the bear. I mean, as long as they were both consenting mammals, I suppose…
Gentle Ben was a better bear show, because they had Dennis Weaver in a cool swamp boat zooming around everywhere. 70s and 80s adventure shows were all about finding some new vehicle to centre the chases around.
