The Paul Hogan Show

I somehow discovered this show as a 12 year old kid in North Carolina in the US in the early 80s. I swear I think it aired on PBS, which also ran Benny Hill episodes at night. Although I remember laughing hysterically and loving the show, I really only remember two actual bits. One was the skits where he and Strop lived in a shack and would make toast by impaling a piece of bread on a nail in the wall and then using a blowtorch on it. The other was one of his monologues where he discussed his first date and kiss at the movies. He took a girl to a Tarzan movie and, following the romantic advice of some friends, basically botched the entire thing until he finally managed to stumble into the kiss. "I thought all me birthdays had come at once!". He told about trying to blow into the girl's ear, but forgot he had popcorn in his mouth and so blew a piece into her ear where it got stuck, and how he waited for a romantic scene to try to kiss her, but the only semi-romantic scene was where Cheetah had to give a drowning Tarzan mouth to mouth. LOL!

I'd love to see this show again somewhere, but I do also fear that it couldn't possibly live up to my memories of it.

Perhaps one of, if not, the most memorable Aussie icons would have to be none other than PAUL HOGAN. Out of his material ever since he caked audiences on "New Faces", the one thing that he is most remembered for is "The Paul Hogan Show". Whoever could forget Leo Wan*er, Luigi The Unbelievable, that dumb arse Strop or the ever so sexy Delvene Delaney. Thew show was indeed one of 'laugh your pants off' sketches, clever satire and pretty decent stand-up comedy. In fact, the show even made the No.2 spot on "50 Years 50 Shows"- You might say that "The Paul Hogan Show" is a milestone in Australian Television and proof that Mr Hogan indeed has it! I must say though, it is most unfortunate that Hoges could not have the same impact on audiences after his TV run and the box-office smash "Crocodile Dundee". Anyway, I strongly advise you to get a copy of "The Best Of The Paul Hogan Show" on DVD. A 5/5 Classic TV show!

G'day

This is my favourite show of all time, it's an absolute classic full of such great skits. Someone should start a petiton to have the series released on dvd, I bet you'd get millions of votes there's so many fans of the show. The best of video still goes for about 50 or sixty bucks on ebay.

Can not tell a joke and never could if there were no scripts on stage or in person he be lost, It seems you can walk on stage in shorts and short sleeve shirt spread your hands out and folks think that is funny BULL .Is only decent movie was Dundee rest were hopeless And the TV show well say no more

I was a big fan of this show in the '80's. I remember this show so fondly. My favorite recurring skit was the one where Paul Hogan and John Cornell played room-mates in this seedy little apartment. To this day I still fall down laughing when I think about them preparing their breakfast. They'd nail their bread to the wall and toast it with a blow-torch. This is one of the few shows whose collection I would buy if it was made available to the public.
