Favorite tv shows

No, I didn't see that/know about it! A remake? NO WAY! Anything other than the original would be insulting to King Monkey!! I have the DVDs anyhow (yes, I'm being fair dinkum, I went out and bought the DVD sets ) and the kids love them! Now I'm never going to get to sleep with the theme song playing in my head...thanks!!!!! The music made the show...

Hehehe it was actually quite faithful to the original. The flavour of it was pretty spot on.
Although Tripitaka at no point screamed 'NO VIOLENCE', which was a bit of a disappointment. But 'he' did of course strongly suggest against violence BUT then was very grateful that Monkey saved his arse using lots of violence. If THAT hadn't happened I would have been very cross.
Yes I agree about the music being integral to the show! I have several different remixes of the theme song of course!
My boyfriend said he showed the show to his nephew when he went on a trip home and he loved it too! Something for all generations!
OOOH you have the DVDs!!! With the previously undubbed episodes??????? I saw them and wanted to get for myself for Xmas but haven't got them yet.

Hey is that the show they did a parody of on .... The Late Show.

Didn't ever see that either. Just found the year that Rush was originally made...1974...I wasn't even a year old by then so obviously the shows I saw were ABC re-runs on MUCH later! I think I was a little in love with John Waters at the time, from lots of Playschool viewing!! He was my favourite presenter, and I can even remember him dressing up in a soldier's top hat and prancing around to the "Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me" song with Noni Hazelhurst! Scary...that I liked it AND that I remember it!!!

YOU HAVENT SEEN THE OLDEN DAYS! NO WAY!
ok you must check it out immediately. I am not sure if having actually seen the original Rush is a help or a hindrance. I haven't seen it (to my conscious recollection anyhoo)

Well you may wonder what the heck I am on about, but I think it's hilarious. Bearing in mind when I saw it (early 90's??) there weren't billions of YouTube parodies of everything ......
