Happy New Year, boys ‘n’ girls! Byron the Quokka here… in a kind of paradise of bicycles. I’m here to bring you a sample of Quokka University TV .
8:30 a.m. Ch. 15 ICED TEA WITH WILMA–Talk, talk, talk
Join Wilma Zavoody as she babbles and cackles with guests you’ve never heard of and will never see again! Today: Professor Dylan McMillan, who makes mud pies and tries to get his students to eat them. You’ll be surprised how often he succeeds!
8:36 a.m. Ch. 26 TALES FROM THE BUSTED COCCYX—Historical romance
Magnus Spagnus (Robert Shaw) operates an 18th century inn where very strange things happen! Today: The ghost of a sadistic highwayman (Bela Lugosi) haunts the luxury bedroom on the second floor. He also plays Yahtzee. Just in time for Britain’s Imperial Yahtzee champion (Joan Collins) to challenge him to a match.
9:00 a.m. Ch. 06 HAMBONE! THE RETURN–Philosophy
Sandy Becker played Hambone in the 1960s. Now the torch is passed–to Janice Ksheev, latest in a long line of Hambone imitators. Watch her dance her way through dangers that would demoralize an ordinary man. And absorb the wisdom of Hambone (“Wet wood burns the best,” and other wise sayings).
Well, that’s that. I’m so happy that they’re bringing Hambone back to TV. I was running out of Cisco Kid reruns.Here’s a video cut to whet your appetite.
Byron the Quokka, signing off (don’t want to miss Hambone)!
Well, Lee, the medics may have wrecked your apartment, your computer, and your physiology, but they sure didn’t wreck your creative genius! — or, ahem, should I say Byron’s (no offense meant, Byron)? The Yahtzee-playing ghost cracked me up.
Enjoy the bicycles, Byron!
Now I want to play Yahtzee.
We need more Hambone imitators.
We got ’em! Check out the US Senate.
Good point.
Good on ya mate, for your good work. We love your efforts.
ICED TEA WITH WILMA–Talk, talk, talk – this one sounds like tv talk shows already on tv here in the States – ever heard of “The View?”
It’s on TV in every doctor’s office. There’s no escaping it.
