It’s mid September so figured it was about time I did my first post for the year. It’s been a busy one, with lots of legitimate writing work and a little schlepping keeping me from writing anything on here.
Any who, came across this funny old show on YouTube called “Good Afternoon Adelaide”. Take a gander:
Apparently an Adelaide-based TV chat show circa early 90s. To quote this article I found on the subject:
“…the one-hour chat show aired live across SA and into the silver city of Broken Hill weekdays at 2PM, during an era when Adelaide truly was the place to be (before Victoria stole the slogan for their number plates, along with the Formula One Grand Prix).
Good Morning Adelaide featured news, celebrity interviews, live music, talkback callers, lifestyle segments, paid advertorials and a who’s who of Adelaide royalty – with ratings success.
Eventually, the show became victim of increased networkisation from the eastern states and was cancelled in 1992. As a final insult, the station’s master tapes were later sold and used for episodes of Wheel of Fortune.”
There’s a Facebook page too.
Sure takes me back 😉

On this special late night movie edition of VHS Revue, I take a look at a tape that’s been in the Green Family Video Library for 31 years: The golf-based comedy “Caddyshack”. One of my all time favourite films.
But get a load of the ads! Which include commercials for: Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hungry Jack’s, Glen 20, Caj Amadio real estate, with guest appearances by Mr T and Rodney Dangerfield.
So press that play button and take a gander.
Special thanks to Adam Navarro, Nicholas Godfrey and Alexis Kotlowy.
