Heh, I remember this show. It was pretty cool.
This is the second time I've been nostalgic today regarding a childhood tv show, with the other being Bananaman.

Have you ever, ever felt like this,
When strange things happen,
Are you going round the twist?

Well have you heard the word about the bird and the spider?
It wiggled and wiggled and jiggled inside her.

^^yeah I do
I watched it every Friday when I got home from school.
It was a great show =D
The only eps. that come to mind are the ones when they are having a race up the lighthouse so the boy clones himself but then they end up having loads of rabbits all over the place!
And the one when the girls boyfriend is a merman

Best. Kids. Show. Ever.
One of my family friends had a holiday house on the same street it was shot. We once stayed just down the road from the lighthouse (in a town called Airesinlet or something). I was very young though, I hardly remember it :(
My favourite ep was the one with the underpants that make Pete run fast when he puts them in the microwave. And then they shrink them and put them on Bronson's frog and he wins the frog race. :lol:
Again - memories :)

What was that episode called with the guy who vomited ice cream and was a slave to some gypsy guy who rode around in a carriage selling ice cream?
Loved that episode.
Oh, I remember! Not the name though :(

Is it?
Episode 11: The Ice Cream Man Cometh
When Linda is sacked from Mr Gribble's ice cream parlor, she finds work with Paulo the master ice-cream maker. She soon discovers the mystery behind Paulo's famous ice cream - Giorgio - who makes ice cream by blowing it out his nose.
oh and if you want the catchy tune!

nearly got enough to buy it, as i am skint.
Got the box-set last week for a very respectable $48.99 AUS. That's less than a dollar an episode!!! JB-Hifi ftw :D
I've already watched about 10 of them, me and my mate watched about five last night in a row. It's really good. The acting's really shoddy and the dialogue is a little suspect, but what a trip down memory lane it is :)
