Wow yeah Romper Room. That's a real blast from the past

Was that the one with the blackboard that talked

 

[Shell]

And Mr Squiggle!!

 

[Shell]

And he's now on a 2 week suspension - he may not be the biggest fan of her music, but surely not too hard to have listened to at least a couple of songs on the flight

Am picturing an ep from Frontline rn.

Yeah "suspended" haha

I can't remember it TBH. Just remember the name and I sort of remember a blonde chick? hosted it

 

[Down at K Park]

Smurfette was hot. Had a bit of a crush.

She was the village bike

Also- Humphrey! And Fat Cat (the less superior poor mans Humphrey) and Romper Room

Marty Monster. I remember when the kangaroo attacked him. Still makes me laugh now.

Hell yeah. Possibly the best moment in Oz television history.

What was that, the Early Bird show? I think it was. Who was the guy who hosted it. I'm thinking Darryl Cotton? But that's just guessing.

Definitely the Early Bird Show. Not sure of the host sorry.

Im not a huge fan of Adele but at least she has some artistic integrity about her and that was pretty disrespectful. If that was someone like Ariane Grande or something then I wouldn't listen to anything either...

The Marty Monster red Kangaroo attack is on YouTube. Is piss funny

This is my fav part of it - it reportedly cost Channel 7 $1 million to secure the interview, with how things finished up Sony pulled the rights from the interview being shown

Then add in the Oprah interview with her which 7 bought the rights to but 10 showed good chunks of it

 

[Down at K Park]

Does it really matter if he didn't listen to it? How many interviewers actually listen to a musician they interview, or watch a sportsman they interview? You just need to know a bit about them, not know everything they have ever done.

 

[Shell]

Adele is probably a precious princess.

Also, its pretty unprofessional I would have thought.

 

[Shell]

I mean- he flew to London.

Pretty sure there would have been some time to listen to a few songs.

Hardly any. But you've got to pretend you listened to it and say it's good.
Celebrities need to be pandered to.

I still remember Adam Hills going off his nut at Joan Rivers after she fat-shamed Adele a few years back. Was a thing of beauty.

 

[Shell]

Joan Rivers was awesome

 

[Shell]

*Adam Hills is not

 

[FredLeDeux]

Joan Rivers was awesome

Got banned from TV for years after she said that Malibu was where you lie on the stars and look at the sand.

I loved her Holocaust jokes. And ive seen a few eps of that fashion show she did.

If one does this, does it mean it eliminates the need to move the elf to a new shelf every day?

 

[Shell]
