Metal Mickey LOL
Sweet and Sour ? wasn't that the one with the made up band "the takeaways "in it ,top show from memory

What about Wombat and My Secret Valley

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

The Wombles were not obscure.
Orinoco, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Wellington and co were top notch mainstream stuff. For 6 year old ABC addicts. Underground over ground Wombling free/ the wombles of Wimbledon Common are we/ making dood use of the things that we find/ the things the everyday folk leave behind
Monkey has recently been remade, some of it filmed in NSW. Hopefully they've managed to find just as gender doubtful a person to play Tripitaka.
I remember "Let's Make A Dope Deal" on a Cheech and Chong tape, but not Let's Make A Deal.

Press Gang, early 90s teen "drama" with Julia Sawaha in it before she played Saffy in Ab Fab.
Greatest American Hero, not obscure as in unknown, but obscure in strange. Round The Twist goes in that category as well. (Why are all the classy programs, or at least the ones so bizarre you have to watch, kids shows?)
Bananaman, featuring the voices of The Goodies. And from around the same era, Super Ted.

The Adventures of the Sea Spray

It was a great Aussie drama about a family that sailed around the South Pacific.

that kid based sports show that used to be on of a saturday morning. Don't quite remember it's name though.

 

[SunKing]

Voyagers,classic sci-fi show from early 80's that is now thankfully on dvd!

Only made 20 eps but I remember it fondly.

And although obscure probably more well known for the lead actor who accidentally shot himself with a prop gun.

I think I watched way too many American shows in the 80's and 90's...


Dream on - which had movie clips from old movies inserted into it to describe how the guy was feeling.
