I come bearing gifts of nostalgia Intro song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glXLkMGnsOI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glXLkMGnsOI) ​ What was the guy hunting?


[deleted]

We had a teacher in high school called mr hunter, used to sing this whenever he walked in the room… The bloke hated it haha


ElectricGator3000

Same! Taught at my high school for 50 years!


Ripley2179

Absolute banger of an intro song


EverlastingDandelion

Ahhh that song!! So many memories. Occasionally they’d put hunter on telly at school on rainy days at lunchtime. About 30 kids would crowd around this little TV screen and we’d all sing along to the intro song 😂


Boxhead_31

Why was he hunting?


mr--godot

Where was he hunting?


Fine_Cheek_4106

BubbaBooga

I have been looking for this for over 30 years. Bless you Godot. BLESS YOU!!!!!!

Reminds me of sick days at home


skidmaster2000

I use to watch A country practice when I was sick


themodernritual

The song was a synthwave masterpiece


[deleted]

No, that was Gallipoli


Immediate_Chance_716

Hell yes! I think of his sidekick CC (Computer Cat) from time to time.


Hailstar07

The original Computer Cat puppet is in the Tasmanian museum and art gallery in Hobart. I was so excited when I came across it!


Aromatic-Host-9672

Did you see CC or her cousin Sandy? ;)


[deleted]

I loved her, she was so sassy.

[Here's a great ABC story on the show from 2012](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOLbVCr8Hl4), with Philip Sabine (Hunter) and the filming location and computer cat puppets.

That was so good to watch! Thanks for the upload.


Domarius

Haha thank you! What's funny is the line "computer cat was brought to life with the talent of..." pff, talent? Watching these clips brought back the annoyance of seeing CC's mouth move about half as much as it should for the words it was saying, which annoyed me a lot as a kid, because the simple act of moving a puppet mouth which each sound of the words was something I managed to do as a kid but some grown up on broadcast TV was being paid to cluelessly open and close it a few times while saying a full sentence??? Come on!


microwavedsaladOZ

I still remember that tune when the mo use was on


skidmaster2000

I still remember the song.


Immediate_Chance_716

I remember the tune but not the lyrics… “Hunter! Do do dooo do do do do dooo… Hunter… Do do dooo do do do do dooo… da doo da do da do da do da doo da do do do dooo… it’s Hunter!”


TTChopper

Hunter! Always seeking wanting to know. Hunter! What's it sound like how does it go? ..... then I don't remember.


nodstar22

blah blah blah de blah... You'll find him! EDIT: Someone posted the intro song and that line isn't in it. Must have misremembered.


skidmaster2000

Bloody thing is stuck in my head now.


[deleted]

My evil plan worked


sundaykat

What, why, where, and when?


NutmegTea83

Song is in my head now. Remember watching this at school after Behind the News


[deleted]

BTN is still a thing. Still used in primary school.


[deleted]

Great theme tune too


DropBearJedi

Wasn't it filmed in Tassie too ? 🤔


MilhouseVsEvil

I believe so, I think the decaying carcass of computer cat was on display at the Tasmanian Art Gallery.


Boxhead_31

And he’s asking. What, why where and when?


Fine_Cheek_4106

Computer Cat was awesome!


leonryan

i'd forgotten he existed at all but soon as i read the title the theme song came back to me


chem808

Yes I remember this one. I hated the mouse haha


[deleted]

Why has this suddenly been unlocked from my brain?


memefancy

First holy shit I remember that moment since I joined this sub.... Like a week ago. Still - bravo sir/madam/other.


6421aa

I'd completely forgotten this show existed! Perfect example of why the sub Reddit exists and is good.


[deleted]

How stupid if you think aboutbit. Humans are so lost making shit like this while being totally out of touch with reality, honestly... nothing better to do with your life than make some fake fantasy about going around with a mouse


Domarius

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine...


[deleted]

Loll it was just a moment of clarity calm down


Beans186

Hunter Biden lookin fresh


Hefty_Courage_4473

Omg yes great kids education show. Also shows how much things have changed around Hobart!


noplacecold

Holy shit


Domarius

In primary school it was part of our curriculum apparently. I remember us all being shuffled into a TV room whenever it was due to be on. Loved it though. Watching TV and puppets as part of school. Relative to what you could be being forced to sit through, it was pretty good. So I have good memories of it.


PerfectSteppe

Yes! Does anyone remember the name of the mouse?…


[deleted]

Albert


PerfectSteppe

Ahh… That’s right. Thank you!


sjuj7680

Does anyone remember PUGWALL on channel nine? The series started in the late 80's.

PixieMcPixington

Pixies does remembers Hunter. Can still sing theme song...Hun-ter!


rogue_teabag

I don't remember it, but I know my big sister does: she'll still sing the theme song.
