[I don’t know about you, but I could use a good laugh–and a good laugh is a gift from God.]
G’day, boys ‘n’ gulls! Byron the Quokka here, and better late than never, with fabulous weekend TV brought to you by Quokka University. Without further ado-do-do–
5:00 P.M. Ch. 03 BLOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY vs. BAD GUYS–(You don’t really need this explained, do you?)
It took a lot of desperate makeup artistry to turn Edward G. Robinson into Blomba the Jungle Boy. See if he can thwart the cunning plans hatched by CEO Worthington Plopp (Jiminy Cricket). This week: the CEO tries to avoid entering the Roach Motel.
Ch. 61 MOVIE–Unbearable suspense
Liberace starred as steroid-maddened body-builder Arnold Darnold in I Was a Teen-Age Teenager (Manchurian, 1952) who falls in love with the June Taylor Dancers (Themselves–all of them). Will they love him back? Professor Tweedle: A U.S. Senator acting incognito)
5:17 P.M. Ch. 98 NEWS IN SEMAPHORE–Bearable suspense
Join anchorman Horace Stonehead in a wrap-up of today’s most exciting news–delivered in semaphore… and don’t ask us what that means, we like totally don’t understand it! You wave these little flags around and it’s supposed to make sense. We don’t think semaphore is used much anymore; but around this studio you can hear a pin drop. Sports: Sophie Tucker (AI generated)
6 P.M. Ch. 42 SIX-GUN SIGGINS–Neoclassic Western, with canapes
Siggins (Bok Choy) is on the warpath: someone has stolen all six of his guns. Can Annie the Witch (Alice Boil), who owns the Last Chance Saloon, get him out the door without him getting shot? Maury Grossman: Martin Sheen. Sponsored by Martians!
Well, folks, there you have it–dig in!
