A Bit Of Fun While Dinner Was Being Cooked
I have to agree with nel_syd that the first two reviews are way off the mark. What needs to be remembered about this show is that it was shown at 6pm when every other television channel at the time ran the news (and still do today), the same time the nation ate dinner.
So with the above in mind, onto my review. I liked it, it was a funny show. I'd not say it was brilliant, but it fit the bill. Perfectly named for a program that poked fun at the culture of the time and a good way to fill the hole left when "Australia You're Standing In It" finished up the year earlier and did the same thing in that same timeslot. If memory serves me well, it was repeated for couple of years, along with "The Goodies". The slot pretty much belonged to "The Goodies" but even the programmers at the ABC knew that they couldn't show them all year round.
"Australia Street" was a really funny shot at the way that the states saw each other. The theme song for the segment was half the fun of it and the characters, although were nothing like the average person from each of the states, really did represent the view of them from outside of each state.
Everyone knew a person like Kev and '"Kev Kavanagh's Kulture" did well to parody that person.same. Dip" which made fun of "Star Search", Iemeber the title of tth telephiont exchange skit, "The Party Line" but can't remember the segment "World Championship Acting" at all.
When all is said and done, I think the show had merit to it enough it to be remember well enough that people have come to the entry for it on here.
