An irrepressible icon of Australian Pop culture, Skippy is not only a legend of the small screen but a true blue Aussie hero. The most successful series ever made in Australia, Skippy The Bush Kangaroo, has had sales in over 100 countries and remains our first homegrown international superstar. The grand expanse of Waratah National Park knows no bounds when Skippy is around to keep an eye and a paw on things - from shady poachers, unwelcome campers, deadly creatures and dangerous conditions - there is no shortage of peril and excitement to share.

I have a feeling that most commentators are trying hard to recall and give alibistic three stars to the series, from which they only remember the opening song and the silhouette of a jumping kangaroo. The series aired in a time when it didn't have much competition. It's an older matter and the acting performances or the scripts of individual episodes were not anything special, and a confrontation with reality would lead in most cases to an uncompromising reduction of one star... I have to let myself be carried away by waves of nostalgia a lot, to not give it only 50% of the overall impression...
