G’day, g’day! Byron the Quokka here, with another weekend of edifying TV brought to you by Quokka University and sources better left un-named. Hey, dig that ad for Bat Masterson, sponsored by Sealtest Ice Cream. We still have Sealtest here on Rottnest Island. I love their Eucalyptus Swirl!
Without further ado, here’s a little piece of our schedule.
7:26 P.M. Ch. 29 Boating With Davy Jones
How much trouble can you get into in a rowboat? Watch Davy as he and celebrity guest Rosie O’Donnell wind up beached in a hot-tempered homeowner’s back yard! With Beto O’Rorke and his orchestra.
7:30 P.M. Ch. 08 The House of Atreus–Comedy
You think you’ve got troubles? Watch the look on Grandpa’s face when he finds out he’s just eaten his beloved grandchildren for supper. And then there’s Sisyphus (Phil Silvers) who’s almost got that boulder up the hill when it falls down again–right across his foot. Grandpa: Telly Savalas. Mommy: Name Withheld. Featuring John Kerry with some obnoxious hand puppets.
Ch. 12 Unexplained Paranormal Weird Mysteries–Educational (?)
Join host Barry White as he explores really puzzling enigmas: A student gets a C when he expected a B; a housewife finds a lost balloon in the last place she looks; Flossie the Cat will only do her tricks when no one’s looking. Special guest appearance by Andrew the Telepathic Turnip.
Ch. 14 Knockdown! Western Action–Western
TV’s only Western filmed in southern Philadelphia! Marshall Matt Falafel (Fong Hsueh Ting) rounds up a posse (the Lennon Sisters) to chase down inadequate-feeling bank robber Killer Kahn (Ramesses II) so he can be helped by Dr. Fanabla (Moms Mabley)… before he kills again! Special Guest Star: A woman who looks unnervingly like Taras Bulba.
Ch. 21 Movie–Drama
In “Boil My Socks!” (1991), the ageless Bowery Boys discover a plot by Bela Lugosi to corner the market in bunion pads. Can they stop it before Dr. Scholl is driven out of business? Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall. Bela Lugosi: Godfrey Cambridge. Dr. Scholl: Max Von Sydow. Tinkle Bell: Chelsea Clinton. Chorus: several ears of corn.
Well, that ought to get you motivated for a weekend’s worth of truly subcutaneous TV viewing! What’s that? Who said I sound like Violet Crepuscular? You wait’ll I get my paws on you–!
I remember Bat Masterson, and Real McCoys from way back then.
Walter Brennan did a lot of TV work.
Subcutaneous viewing???? Only for the thin-skinned, I assume.
I love these!
Would love to see these shows.
You need a special antenna.
Weird Mysteries is a cinch to be a big hit. Everyone loves a good paranormal story like a demented man occupying the White House while his staff really runs the show.
And wait’ll you see who’s running the staff.
