    Pickle me Grandmother! This thing sucked

    This show was pathetic! Possibly the only plus to Bullpitt being made is that it was such a spectacular failure that hopefully no one will ever let Gary Reilly make another sitcom again. After Brass Monkeys, Hey Dad and My Two Wives you'd think that network executives would have realised that his shows simply aren't funny!

    Hearty Laughs

    I found this while searching youtube for another show, but i can say this is one where the laughs are totally worth it. Brilliantly cast.

    A brilliant piece of Australian Comedy

    This show was sadly cut short too soon. An excellent show with plenty of laughs.

    Bullpitt! was loved by many but was hated by political correct people at the time as well. I personally liked Bullpitt! because it was so politically incorrect. If only we could produce more shows like this.

    The main character of Ted Bullpitt is offset well by the supporting characters Johnno, Muriel, Darcy, Samantha and Terri, who often supply extra ways to stop Ted enjoying his retirement.

    The show contains many a great catch phrase, the two most prominent being "Pickle me grandmother" and "Someone should blow (insert item here) up".

    • Trivia
      It isn't publicly known why the series ended after two years, but it may have been from a mixture of things, from Ross Higgins growing tired of his iconic role, to the rise of several cast members, to ratings and budget concerns. The cast never commented on it as many of the cast went on to successful roles in theatre or TV. Years later one member of the cast commented on a video someone shared saying ' that they had a ball filming the show'.
    • Goofs
      The bottles of champagne during the series run are clearly only half filled.
    • Quotes

      Darcy Kelso: What's your name comrade?

      Ted Bullpitt: Oh, here we go. Bullpit.

      Darcy Kelso: Bullpit. Nice name!

      Ted Bullpitt: Ey? Most people think it sounds like...

      Darcy Kelso: I can imagine! But most people don't have a friend called Greg Fluck!
