G’day, boys ‘n’ gulls! Byron the Quokka here, with another weekend of TV that’ll have you doing cartwheels in the street for joy… courtesy of the Quokka University TV Network.

Here’s a little taste of what we’ve got in store for you.

Saturday

6:30 a.m.  Ch. 51  CHARLIE CHEPECHUAHUATL–Mystery/Drama

Arch-criminal Xexpe Chotec (Eddie Lewis) plots to get Chepechuahuatl (Al Bobb) fired from the all-new Invisible Jaguar Society of Chichen Itza. Lt. Andy Smith: Aqoquache Caxamichimbe. Margie: Tehuantepetl Jones.

8:48 a.m.  Ch. 27  HOW FAR CAN YOU RUN WITH NO PANTS ON?–Innovative Game Show

Most guests don’t get too far because the police pull them in; but the guest who goes farthest down 5th Avenue wins a paper route! MC: Howard K. Mongo. Special guest host: a man who thinks he’s Julia Child.

9:10 a.m.  Ch. 08   PISTOL PACKERS!–Western (kind of)

Billed as “the world’s first Eastern Western,” Pistol Packers follows the career of Marshal Frank N. Beenz (Ben Gay), who waged a one-man war against crime in Edison Township, New Jersey. This week: Dr. Meeker (Ralph Meeker) tries to have Beenz committed, but the judge (Dora the Explora) doesn’t think he’s crazy enough for that.

Well! If those shows don’t arouse your appetite to a fever pitch, you can call me a watermelon!
