Skippy (opening)

[mangjose420]

STRAYA DAY, CUNTS

[chriswarren44]

While I grew up on Flipper and Lassie, it was really neat to first see Skippy when I was in my early 30's. At least my kids got to grow up watching it. Still have a few shows on VHS.

[MrDrewpweiner]

I'm probably one of the only 16 year olds that has watched this show and still love it. When I was young, my favorite animal was the kangaroo, so my parents bought me a couple of seasons of it. best present ever!

[thestarsmydestinyy]

I love this show

[FJosephine]

R.I.P Skippy.. Good actor and so cute. I got Flashback when i saw this

[shastri192]

skippy always in my heart,,,,its a movie time during our childhood together with my late father,,,,,1960,s and early 70.s...on behalf of children of malaya singapore now malaysia,,and borneo.....skippy always in our heart...

[Whitbywatcher]

Skippy is not just part of childhood for Aussies - it was also part of growing up for many British people now in their 40s and 50s, it was a favorite kids programme on ITV in the UK in the late 1960s and early 70s. Oh how things have changed

[ROCKSOLID19]

@Whitbywatcher I am 24 and I seen the re-runs when I was a kid. That and Lassie. Fuckign epic.

[mblism]

Wonderful childhood days when most us kids listened to our parents went to church said thank you for each meal served skippy was a time when australia only had a population in 1966 of 6 million people kids played outside not like now what a shame.age 52.

[harveyderf]

G'Day, I was the key grip on this show way back when & since getting on the interweb I've been able to look up all my old work. I'm in my early 70s now & lived a nice quiet life after this show, never said a bad word about it bc I'm not like that. Still the whole thing stinks & I want to get this off my chest. That kid was a little pervert who I caught between takes playing red rocket with that 'roo. I kicked up a fuss about it & got sacked bc I guess he sucked a lot of dick on set too.

[jasonismyhomie]

@harveyderf How ya goin', matey? Tho I'm a few gen younger than you, I've seen a lot & I too have seen the horrors that went on 'behind the scenes' on Skippy! I was an extra, supposed to play one of that wanker Sonny's lil pals i ep. He was a right snot & snubbed me. Awrite, mate, you wanna play? So I thought I'd prank him good, catch him on the dunny pinchin a loaf HA HA but when I opened the door, I couldn't believe me eyes! He was sucking off Ed Devereaux like a bloody hoover! I feel for you!

[nrojbsa]

skippys paws are awsome :D they can do thinks most human fingers just couldnt do xD lol

[GilgilKenya]

Skippy's paws weren't real.

[goatlube]

footnote..one of the helicopters used in "Skippy" (VH-AHF), was involved in a fatal crash back in december 1966 when it was flying over Sydney harbour with a film crew from the ABC . The tail rotor failed due to a fatigue fracture in a retention bolt,the chopper spun out of control & despite attempted autorotation ,collided with Goldfields House then crashed through the Paul Building roof in Pitt st,the accident being filmed from both inside the chopper & on the ground. May they rest in peace.

Skippy was spared from the plates because we needed a national hero and Shane Warne and Steve Irwin were not famous then.

[Kelly14UK]

@SuperGravey We eat thistles in Scotland. And English people.

[liverpool18airbourne]

[majorMcpharter]

Magic.

[Gordfozzfoster]

[timmythevoe]

Shit i'm missing the ashes

[bigphreaking]

I watched this in Hong Kong on the BBC in the early 70's.

[MacGyver920]

aaaaaaaaaaaaah Skippy :)

[nanlisa]

Sorry for the double posting. My fault.

[nanlisa]

This was on Animal Planet back in 1997. I thought it was an American series. I didn't know this was an Australian show.

[OrigamiPaper]

FAKE

[agburns84]

To the comment saying that they would prefer Lady Gaga, Jersey Shore and Hipster music - you're a wanker mate, no idea what you're talking. Skippy is and will always be the best TV show ever. It does evoke memories for alot of people who can remember the good old days before your precious US garbage like hip hop and Jersey Shore were even thought of. Pull your head in you mug. Skippy forever.

[animatetime]

Pre skin cancer worries, mate.

[fairhillnorrie]

what skippy? you found a dead man in the bush? and you have a vets appointment tomorrow, and my wife's pregnant! and the 10 day forecast is good!!! well done skippy...

[ueboy21]

warn das noch zeiten wo das kam ich will das wider sehen

[SteKoWho]

unfortunately, there is only one magic bumerang, but billions of things that should be done with it, maybe we forgot that is nothing but a dream...

[dianneclarkson]

this brings back memories,I loved Skippy :o)

[gatoromano]

I loved Gary Pankhurst's girly jump!!!!!

[vuotopiuscuro]

skippy skippy

skippy, das buschkänguruh,

[vuotopiuscuro]

[roscominmiboi]

[skunkhead2006]

they actually went through shit loads of skippys makeing "skippy" the kangaroos they would use kept running away so they drafted in shit loadza spare skippys

[lunavixen015]

@skunkhead2006 they used between nine and fifteen kangaroos per episode

[LieorDie24]

good old days everything so calm and friendly no shooting no killing just nice like it should be

[Thingamajigs]

SHOOT THE BASTARD

[martbd]

Still on air today as a rerun in the early hours of the mornings

[kingbrenty]

these videos always spark some lame dipshit going "ooohhh i remember those days...ohhh when i was young"....etc etc

this show was / is a massive pile of shit...and thank god society has evolved to the point now where we wouldnt swallow this garbage under the thin guise of entertainment

[Minicat99]

@kingbrenty

Yea....Lady GaGa and Hipster music and Jersey Shore are way better and more pertinent.

What a fucking Jackass.

[kingbrenty]

@Minicat99 you sure are.

[strongbowdry]

@kingbrenty well it aint about the show...and Im not f****n lame either or a dipshit. This is about a memory of life when things were simple...not workin 80 hours a week to pay for a f****in plasma TV for your kids. So you miss the point entirely

[xlaleclx]

@strongbowdry Hardly Plasmas have burn in, I hope your kids hate you

[strongbowdry]

@xlaleclx yes they hate me

[strongbowdry]

@xlaleclx yes they hate me, Im sure they wanted LCD

[MerseySky]

@strongbowdry: You said it!

[agburns84]

@kingbrenty Pull ya head in you mug, you wouldn't know entertainment if you fell over it. Take your Jersey Shore, Lady Gaga and Hipster music and shove it where the sun don't shine. Skippy is a reminder to alot of us Aussies of a much better time before people like you started worshipping all this so called shit they call entertainment today. Anyway if you think Skippy is crap why are you on here commenting? Moron.

[kingbrenty]

@agburns84 so..Skippy exists as a reminder of the time before I started buying Lady Gaga cd's? wow, im kinda flattered that the whole system was set up around my likes/dislikes and buying habits!

[fuzzywzhe]

@kingbrenty "and thank god society has evolved to the point now where we wouldnt swallow this garbage under the thin guise of entertainment"

HAHAHA.

When you're 40 or 50, and are watching whatever garbage passes for entertainment now on whatever exists then, you'll get some snot nosed moron punk say the same exact thing about the lame ass stupid crap you watch as a kid.

What you don't get is that it's all lame and stupid, and it always will be. Nothing has changed a bit.

[Yakfuji]

My mother for some bizarre reason makes a sound like skippy, so I often just come out with "Timmy's down the mine shaft?" when she does.

[CharveI]

haha wtf? That Kangeroo was psychic haha

[VABkWrm]

This was on every Sunday morning while I was growing up in Michigan! I had the biggest crush on Tony Bonner!

[clumpft]

Screw this, where is that damned hottie? the teenage bombshell? Can't remember her name, just having a huge crush on her when I was a wee lad.

[Bearses]

@clumpft you are too funny - forget the bouncing bush rat, where's the down under babe?

[clumpft]

@Bearses Clancy! was it Clancy?? Arrrrggghh, I dunno, might have been...

[Bearses]

@clumpft Clarissa 'Clancy' Merrick, just looked it up on wikipedia for ya big guy.

[badeendenliefde]

I used to watch that show every evening when I was a kid (about 10 years ago)

too bad it stopped airing on TV...

[Martine2509]

Skippy! Skippy! Skippy la bouche pleine de mouches!  lol

[hudson501]

Gosh, I remember this Australian television program being aired about 40 years ago on Chicago TV station WGN, channel 9. I believe it was broadcast around noon time every Saturday.

[ArgosWarrior]

Whats that Skip the ground in front is quick sand. You lead the way Skip. Bye Bye Skip ill always remember you.....

[MicahTheZombie]

That kid better be careful. His eucalyptus leaf might become uncursed if he unnecessarily plays it, and then when he really needs his pet, he's screwed.

[brhfl]

@MicahTheZombie Well played, well played indeed.

[swarze]

I used to love it when Skippy would open a door by turning the knobs with his paws...hilarious!

[planktonau]

I still have the hots for Clancy

[thekroton]

The comedy show Goodness Gracious me did a great skit of this.

They called it Skipinder the punjabi kangaroo.IF any are posted on youtube

watch them they're really funny.

[CanineFaeces]

Tony Boner

[macnos]

@CanineFaeces It's Bonner not Boner.

[esmonde1]

at 0:33 cute

[helicoptered]

@esmonde1 mwwwuhahahah, lol

[foxhunter11]

Man, i have alot of memories watching this programme. i use to watch it back in Iran. Good old TV.

[azrcpilot7]

thanks for this video.... One of my favorite TV shows when I was a small child. This TV series was aired in 1970's by RTM (Malaysia). I lived in Brunei and received the TV signal by our neighbor country Sabah & Sarawak. Now I'm 42..... I can't believed that I still can hear the theme song again......!

[Scooby71Doo]

This programme is why the Aussies want to cull the kangaroos. People remember watching this programme and how mutch they wanted to shoot that damn kangaroo.

[Nezzib]

Oh, the nostalgia...

[pipi22222]

@CaryMG

hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahah­aha thnx m8 , u made my day LMFAO

[pipi22222]

I once had a cat called skippy , i kicked it till he died , stupid cat haha

skippyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy skippyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[stratline7]

I remeber watching this show in the 70's and woundering why we didn't have kangaroos in California. That was fun to watch, thanks for posting it.

[Boosteroid]

I heard that Skippy really got bent out of shape when Flipper started to eclipse her. ;-)

[Saxonmarko]

hahahahaah skippy was a cool boy hahahahah

[scrapman100]

Summer hollidays in the 1960s and seventys at lunch times on my grandparents farm always seemd hot and dry and skippy on the telly .happy times indeed thanks alot.

[Liljaein]

We had a dog in 1978 that was named Skippy... that song is for her ;o)

[kiraboo]

Holy cow, goosebumps & tears in my eyes! I'd completely forgotten about this show, but it was in that whole Daktari-Flipper-Lassie animal show genre that I loved. Thanks for posting.

[mrioh]

The dogs……......

[marirod45]

tears came out from my eyes. i always wanted skippy to my pet when i was a little girl.

[champ4sho1]

Skippy was awesome Loved the show as a kid A++++

[Alosnup]

Woah...it brings tears to my eyes!!

[IsaaSlot]

skippy de bos kanker hoer!

[jsbd1]

Our friend ever true!

[mcwolfus]

i heard that there were a few 'skippys'. They were kept in sacks in the shade until they were needed for filming. Then, after they were shot and used as animal feed. -mum never told me this, i just found out for myself. huh, disalussionment.

[brian9999]

Skippy kicks Flipper's arse !

[MTCatman]

I used to watch this back in the 90's here in the US. Thanks!

[skippy999999]

ZOMGZ SOMEONE R CALLING ME!

[seannavidi]

Love skippy, miss my childhood

[riatitaar]

Nossa,quento tempo assistiamos este seriado,não perdiamos nenhum,eramos vidrados,legal.

[djstixxi]

@CaryMG Why the hell did u search skippy up then ? shitface

[MisterTrimble]

Legendary, what more can be said! I first saw this in the early 70's on Thames Television here in the UK. Just a thought : is Carla Bonner (Stephanie Scully in 'Neighbours') related to Tony Bonner in any way?

[WikdIvy]

lmao @ sidiqmk. I live in Australia and loved watching Skippy!

[sidiqmk]

i must have been a fucking idiot when i was a kid because i thought this was american!

[xGooglepuff]

I miss this! Hahaha, god, haven't seen this in a loooooooooong time.

[jesoby]

found myself whistling this today so had to listen again

[LDLTVLIVE]

[mooneepondskid]

@LDLTVLIVE Ha ha...I could only imagine what people in Cuba thought of this show.

[lunavixen015]

@mooneepondskid it was actually really popular in Cuba and Spain

[RoadOfBorrox]

Whats that skippy?

Johnnie is stuck down the well?

Ok

[telboy123]

I fancy skippy.

[iAmLeafs]

JUST LIKE THE MUSIC

NOT THE SHOW

[dermot51]

best whistle ever

[Garisullivan]

Jeez! I haven't seen this in what 40 years, but I still remembered how the whistle went the moment just before I heard it. I never realised how much this fantastic kids programme burnt a mark into my memory.

[thomsnijders]

i haven't seen this in like 8 years, still it's fucking epic

skippy FTW

[scagnetti3469]

last time i watched skippy i was tripping my brains out at 5 in the morning

[Doublespazer]

I was like 4 as I watched that.

[ohhrichie]

FUCKING SKIPPY IS GOD!

[kevthegerbil1958]

I use to watch this has a kid on a  BW TV

[ZSpecial1]

RIP Skippy

[philbx1]

@ZSpecial1

Or Skippies at least. I think there were nine of them. Probably not counting the ones that were thrown from cliffs etc. nor the ones who had 'paw separation' issues :-)

BTW, another fine Aussie series was "Charlie the Wonder Dog" :-)

RIP Charles Tingwell

[budgiefatboy]

@philbx1 only 3 were used ..Jo-Jo, Stumpy and Wildy, together with a few others, handling less demanding tasks.

[budgiefatboy]

3 were used...... Jo-Jo, Stumpy and Wildy, together with a few others, handling less demanding tasks.

[45CYNTHIA]

l remember watching 'Skippy The Bush Kangaroo' in New Jersey back in 1970 - 72, it was such a fun show, and yes Tony Bonner was very handsome, I wonder if he's still around?

[bentleyg50george]

skippy was the best in 1966 there were very few programmes for children,plus I was jealous,he had a kangeroo and I had a budgie

[nightwing1409]

I'm very sorry to hear of the death of John McCallum, the creator of this wonderful TV series, who passed away this morning (Wed. 3 Feb. 2010) in a Sydney nursing home age 91. He brought much joy to all the children whose life was brightened by the series which was yet another iconic Australian TV production. My condolences to all his family and friends.

[NickSayle]

I have just heard the news, so sad to hear of John McCallums death. I was a kid in NZ and never missed it, Nothing today comes close

[laggie24]

GOOD DAY MATE  AND HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

I deeply loved skippy and ya bet I hummed Waltzing Matilda...
