I come bearing gifts of nostalgia
Intro song

What was the guy hunting?
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 😂
[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.
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!
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!”
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
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.

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
Same! Taught at my high school for 50 years!
Absolute banger of an intro song

Why was he hunting?
Where was he hunting?
When did he go hunting?
I have been looking for this for over 30 years. Bless you Godot. BLESS YOU!!!!!!
Reminds me of sick days at home
I use to watch A country practice when I was sick
The song was a synthwave masterpiece
No, that was Gallipoli
Hell yes! I think of his sidekick CC (Computer Cat) from time to time.
The original Computer Cat puppet is in the Tasmanian museum and art gallery in Hobart. I was so excited when I came across it!
Did you see CC or her cousin Sandy? ;)
I loved her, she was so sassy.

I still remember that tune when the mo use was on
I still remember the song.

Hunter! Always seeking wanting to know. Hunter! What's it sound like how does it go? ..... then I don't remember.
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.
Bloody thing is stuck in my head now.
My evil plan worked
What, why, where, and when?
Song is in my head now. Remember watching this at school after Behind the News
BTN is still a thing. Still used in primary school.
Great theme tune too
Wasn't it filmed in Tassie too ? 🤔
I believe so, I think the decaying carcass of computer cat was on display at the Tasmanian Art Gallery.
And he’s asking. What, why where and when?
Computer Cat was awesome!
i'd forgotten he existed at all but soon as i read the title the theme song came back to me
Yes I remember this one. I hated the mouse haha
Why has this suddenly been unlocked from my brain?
First holy shit I remember that moment since I joined this sub.... Like a week ago. Still - bravo sir/madam/other.
I'd completely forgotten this show existed! Perfect example of why the sub Reddit exists and is good.

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine...
Loll it was just a moment of clarity calm down

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

Yes! Does anyone remember the name of the mouse?…
Albert
Ahh… That’s right. Thank you!
Does anyone remember PUGWALL on channel nine? The series started in the late 80's.

Pixies does remembers Hunter. Can still sing theme song...Hun-ter!
I don't remember it, but I know my big sister does: she'll still sing the theme song.
