I miss Hey Hey it’s Saturday.. It was the best, it made so many people happy and feel good. Credit to everyone. 🤗🤗
Shame the Americans decided it was too much competition and bought everybody out to stop making TV so they could make money
Good old Uncle Arthur, what a gem!!
I came to Australia from India in 1984 and loved this show . Never missed it and I wish it didn’t end instead of all the rubbish reality shows we have now .
I just don’t watch free TV anymore-way too many ads and the programming is total garbage 🙄
@@OzCrusader Hang on.. even non free media adds ad's... Theres just as much shite "ad's" these days...But of course, Now "aimed" at your viewing data & response......
Facts is, , as Jude said, It was something he wishes was still around, as do I .. Bring Back HHIS !!!
Google paid all the television stations to stop making TV so that everybody would end up using TH-cam and tick tock for their entertainment
You should went back if I were you, no there's more more and more and more heaps of you you're kind of people😢 Australia used to be a beautiful country not anymore😢
@@JohnJohn-ts6ux thank you John John for those kind words . But I love it here in Australia and have no plans to go back .
1986, 15yrs old, my first year out of school, out of home and into the world on my own , 1st yr apprentice and free from the abusive step father.
I miss the country I grew up in.
Ah, The Comedy Company was my favourite show for 2 years! ❤ remember Russell Gilbert as the postie? 😂
I agree. Thing is.... this is apparently 1986. Comedy Company started in 1988. So Glenn had the character before the show started.
Uncle Arthur…… absolute LEGEND
Russell Coights great grandfather!...id love to see Uncle Arthur make a come back
Australian TV is not allowed anymore so that we all use Google products very sad
Nine Network executives decided toward the end of 1999 to cancel Hey Hey It's Saturday. Nine cited various reasons for the axing, including a dip in ratings, an ageing audience and a need to cut costs at the network; however, the program still attracted an average of 1.2 million viewers.
The only way for Google to work was for all of local entertainment to be wiped out everything from the local bands performers outdoor events circuses TV movies, anything that was in there away they said was offensive or not politically correct in some way and now they have 100% of human beings using their services to entertain themselves and as usual the Americans are making all the money out of it
The mullets😂 rockin!
Our relief teacher at Strathmore High. He was a shit teacher, but he was loved , because he'd make us read plays, and I'd do the voices. Other kids would try to hang shit on me, and Glen would shut them up and encourage me to do the voices.
we need this show back
They couldn't make it now, someone will be offended in seconds
Will never come back, costs too much, wouldnt get ratings
@@MrTBA it would get ratings, but some little soft person would CHOOSE to be offended.
Sadly all the originals are too old. Wouldn't click.
Unfortunately a non scripted show won't be approved these days. Thanks to the little precious petals that want to find fault in everything, instead of laughing at harmless entertainment.
WOW! that's Uncle Arthur before he became the Uncle Arthur we saw on the comedy company wow thats an historic video that is.
He went on to become one of the funniest guys we've ever produced.
@James-kv6kb I'm talking about Glenn Robbins, not Uncle Arthur. Your grammar is really bad, by the way.
@James-kv6kb you've corrected some of your bad grammar, but you left we're in instead of were. And blaming google? I understand now though. You're American, you've ruined the English language. It's not your fault. It's how you were educated.
@@egyptology22 That just proves my point because again I checked that statement and it was all correct. As for being American don't you dare insult me I'm an Australian, I live in Whyalla South Australia .Now you don't have a problem with Google ?you don't have a problem with human behaviour being changed where we're all robotic consuming dumb people who have no say in the their future because it's all decided by these companies that think of us as just people giving them the money and not actually human beings?. Look at the intelligence of people we now have adults playing with toys and on tiktok and all acting like 10-year-olds because people like that spend lots of money and Google is the one doing all the ads wake up to yourself seriously
@@egyptology22 I do apologise for my bad grammar it is very difficult using a phone with the severe medical conditions I have, so I have to use the voice to texting which doesn't seem to work well with people that have disabilities and yes I will blame Google they should have better services for people like me that understand what I'm trying to say. Maybe we should be less worried about grammar and more worried about what everybody's got to say in this world and not just the able-bodied people that can speak clearly
So Uncle Arthur is Wilber’s father!
His act got better with time... he needs to be on All Aussie Adventures.
Like a lot of good comedy characters they aren't as good at the start but then mould into it
I didn't know that the character of Uncle Arthur was around in 1986.
Oh the hair haha
The only way people are going to willingly pay for content of the show is if there is new content. bring back the show and i guarantee you will have at least 1 subscriber.
Make that two
This is why when we say back in the day it was so good we actually are telling you the truth lol now we didn't subscribe to anything we didn't pay anything we simply bought a television and paid the electricity bill and we had the best television you can possibly want. However three times in the half-hour show there would be ads and that was how the television station paid for the quality entertainment ,so simple but it is no longer possible because the Americans want all entertainment to go through them and through Google where you are paying for things as opposed to getting everything for free like we used to
@@James-kv6kb Too True. :(
The funny thing is those ads are as nostalgic as the programs themselves. ABC (Australia) used to be on the cutting edge of Australian comedy and kids programming for free. For a very long time must i point out. The good news is its burning out quickly. this is exactly like Mechanical TV vs CRT Tube TV or VHS vs Beta vs LD vs CDV, vs Video 8, vs HD-DVD. there are too many options making it more likely everyone is going to just pick the cheapest option and copy the rest. Free production and distribution ultimately wins. just get on board making it better for a reasonable price. in my opinion word of mouth is worth more than a single payment.
In 1986 $2 was actually worth something!!!! I could buy 2 packets of cigarettes or 3 litres of petrol!!!! Now $2 buys only one litre of petrol and just ONE cigarette😂
In the early 70s I went to a petrol station to buy lollies with a $2 note the woman said to me don't you want to put some of that back in bank 😂 this was when you could get a bag of mixed lollies for 5 or 10 cents .
@@OzCrusader doesn't buy even that much now 🤣
I sent a message to my friend of other hey hey, it’s Saturday content as a link which is the available option on the screen of the device and Mrs Carrol Summers blocks it unless you actually go to TH-cam and watch it🙄 yeah have a cup of tea and relax
Darrell was a good performer but when the cameras were off he was quite nasty so I can't imagine the wife was any different
Of course nowadays Glen wouldn't need any makeup to do AU.😊
Aged like old toenails
best to live for today then...
