The Ferals

I love The Ferals so much i wish i could get it on DVD. It was on two summers ago in the holidays and i watched it every day. It was great to relive my child hood because before that i don't think that it had been on TV for like 5 years. One of the old classics. If it ever becomes available on DVD or video or online or anything i suggest you get it. It is the classic children's humor that is funny for adults too without too many double innuendos. However it was spoiled when the Ferals became Feral TV and only lasted 5 minutes. It was a shadow of the original show with the same characters but none of the humor, originality or charm.

Wow, its been so long since I saw that show and really wish that it was still on the air.

I was about 8 years old when this show started and it has always left an impression on me. The Ferals epitomised all that was Australian in my view. Their happy go lucky attitude and their accent and of course the yard they lived in with the corragated iron fences and shed to the Hills Hoist.

The live cast was also fantastic and added a little bit of live comical theatrics to the show, not that it was needed of course. If anything I wish that it could be shown to younger generation Australians and give them a sense of identity because it would be ashame if many kids miss out on the fun and the joy it gave me and many others my age at the time had when we watched it.

I think I was about 8 when I first started watching this, I'm 19 now, and I still adore it. There's nothing like classic Australian kids entertainment to be amused by. Mig Ayesa, who played Joe King, was my favourite character on this show (as well as Ratis the Rat) and he is now in the INXS Search for a Rockstar (he has gotten through to the final 4 at the moment while I write this.) This show is the story of four Ferals living in a shed in the bottom of a human (Joe Kings) yard, trying to create havoc whilst keeping their home. Two hippie like neighbours of Joe King adore the Ferals and (usually) try to help them out when they can, but Joe King just wants them out of there.

The Feral's went on to be a TV show called Feral TV, which wasn't as good, but at least they stayed on air.

Wow I was very young when this was out but still i remember scenes, The opening and the red dog who i just can't name.

I talk to my friends about this show all the time they think I'm making it but i searched for over two hours and found it. It shows what they know aha-ha. ^__^ This was one of the best shows of my childhood along with Scooby-Doo and Captain Planet. I'd give show 100% for it's humour. I remember in one episode the cockroach was tide to a spinning wheel and got knives thrown at him ah great memories I know the Mixy the rabbit is on abc2 and Modi the cat is on creature feature but what happened all the others i shall ponder these questions for the rest of days which will be a long time I'm 13.

I saw these TV series when they first came on and wouldn't miss an episode, but that was seven years ago, and I was eight. But from my memory, it was a very enjoyable series, full of laughter and non-stop troublemaking, The Ferals is a good programme.
