Yes same. Great to see them again, they certainly don't make shows like this anymore unfortunately :(
I just watched it yesterday for the first time and it is great, Especially "Bullpit no Bullpit" and "Damn Wogs" definately going to watch from now on.

You'd never be allowed to use the term "Damn Wogs" in shows made these days.

The first few seasons of this show were brilliant, in the end it went down hill a bit when Thel left, and didn't he sell the Kingswood?

It was "bloody wog!" and then there was "money on the fridge wog!", as well as a heap of other wog jokes :p
I loved the episode where he had a doctors appointment with a woman doctor (Cornelia Frances - Morag Bellingham & host of the Weakest Link) and the banter between the two was hilarious :D
"Pickle Me Grandmother" how tight are Craig & Bruno's jeans. Happened to catch and episode last night. Bruno playing mind games with Ted over his beer bottle. :D

Hey what did I do :confused:
Nah great show... even looking at the thread title I started whistling the theme. A simple classic theme tune that just goes on in your head

Yeah, he eventually bought a Commodore.
Favourite scene involves an argument between Ted and Bruno in the lounge room. Ted has been giving him stick about being a 'wog.' Again...
Bruno: For the last time, Ted - I was born in Australia!
Ted: Where?
Bruno: Wagga.
Ted: That'd be bloody right!
:D

Change a few words here and there (like 'kingswood' for 'ss') and on occassion it could be this household.
The other half was very confused the other day when I replied "on the table Ted" after he walked in the door and said "geez if that bloody cat leaves pawprints on the ss one more time it's going to the dog food factory. Where's that bloody paper gone woman?"
There's more than a little 'kingswood country' today in Aussie families, you just don't hear of it that often.
hahaha i have the box set.
"Don't touch the grog wog"
Does anyone remember a show about wogs around the same time about an italian migrant who drove taxis? I can't remember the name but it was on the abc. I used to love it.

If his missus was Maria, then I think the show was called "Home Sweet Home".
I would love to find a collection of reasons why Ted wouldn't let someone take the Kingswood. The only one that really sticks in my mind was that he had just polished the fan belt, but there must be 100s of others.

I thought it was "home sweet home" and yeah Maria was his wife and they used to drive an old dato 200B. I remember it clearly as that was the family car around the time.

.
That was funny for a bit. I'm about 99% sure the actor who played him is named John Bluthal and i think he also played the old prissy guy with the moustache in The Vicar of Dibley - Frank is the character i think??? I've seen him pop up in a few pommie shows now and then.

Polished the toe-bar ball.

What about when Bruno's Dad makes an appearance every now and then...
"The Fiat? You're not taking the Fiat! The Pope just blessed the bumper bar!"
Loved 'Grumble-bum's' rants about those "spotty, Mick Damian Catholics at St.Joseph's."
Think it was St. Joseph's?

Did anyone watch the modern Kingswood country in about 1997, wasn't too bad the first season but the 2nd season was rubbish and got canned, still nothing like the orginal.

Yeah Ted was living in a retiremement home or something, and had a hot looking grand-daughter that was always there from memory.
It was woeful. :thumbsd:

Bullpit.
Only lasted one season - 16 episodes.
Even that was too long.
Thankfully, this was the last sitcom Gary Reilly ever got up.

It was crap. It tried to appear like it was still politically incorrect, whilst carefully not being. A good recipe for boring as hell. Should have stuck to what worked instead of worrying about the PC mob potentially complaining, might have been worthwhile then.

The Grand Daughter was good!!:D :D
Never talked about Bruno, Greta or Craig, yes could and should have been a lot better!

What about the greyhounds, Repco Lad and Gay Akubra!
and the time Royalty (Graham Kennedy) visited Wombat Crescent and they gave him a slab of Pal Dog Meat for dinner!
I agree that Thelma not returning from her Woman's Day Holiday she won really caused the show to go downhill.
Kingswood Country was when Australian Television was Australian. Sadly those days are outnumbered and shows like this will never be made again.
I've got the first box set and looking forward to purchasing Volume 2 (3 Disc Set) next!

Poor Ted only had the company of his granddaughter and the champion goldfish, Kieran in the retirement village! :D

LOL I've got that here on DVD, the look on his face when he's trying to eat Thelma's prize-wiining meat loaf (which is accidently swapped for a can of Pal Dog Food) is priceless. :D

Yeah I was watching it earlier today.
Really gotten hooked on the show on the last couple of months on Foxtel, great Aussie comedy.
I've only seen a couple of the episodes without Thelma, Bruno's mum got on my nerves a bit with that fake Greek accent in those ones but keen to see the rest of them.
A Ted Bullpitt night comin up tonight!!!! Think the marathon goes til midnight.

I would love to get all of the first 60 episodes of this show.
Bruno asks a question to Ted after Thelma told Bruno that ted knew all the answers to the questions on Sale of the Century.
'What state is Canberra in?'
'Bloody shambles. I win, you lose, I'm the king of the castle'
Ted to Bruno while cooking his eggs for breakfast. 'Don't put spaghetti in it'.
