Default 7pm good night kids message

We have GWN country television here in Geraldton instead of channel 7 and at 7pm we get Dooba Dog come on and sing a little song that goes like this.

Wherever you are in WA
the stars come out to say
Goodniiiiight

Then he climbs into his bed in his olde worlde cottage like bedroom and goes to sleep

When I was in Perth a few weeks back it was different and there were spaceships and all sorts, very daring you city folk.

So it go me wondering do all different areas have a different night night message for the kids? do some areas not have one. what have you got in your area?

OK strange thread but different

Fat Cat(channel 7?) I think has a different adventure each night. Though I think it's gets repeated sometimes.

On 10, I think, there's the aussie animals, the echidna? who cleans up his toys, brushed teeth etc and goes to bed.


lol!

We used to try and get our daugther to go to bed after the 7pm Blues Clues song but it never worked. These days we are lucky if she is asleep before we are.

I've heard that some unscrupulous parents tape his goodnight message and play it earlier to fool their kids into going to bed even earlier!

Very sneaky...

Goodnight Patsy Possum,
Christie, Connie, & Kevin too,
Goodnight young Kenny,
And goodnight to you,

Gotta get to bed, rest my weary head,
Gotta brush my teeth, and there's prayers to be said,
Put away the toys in the old toy box,
Bring in the cat,
Snap on the locks,
Sun's going down in 10 seconds!,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.


Apparently, it used to be, "Put out the cat"...

Bloody hell..!!! I need to get out more...

You've not got kids, have you Tony I have been known to change the time on all clocks, close curtains early, feed early then say "but it's xx hours since tea!"

Nothing like that in our area. And I don't recall anything in Sydney either.

Channel 7 in Sydney used to do it, but stopped it many years ago.

I've only ever seen it since on the odd regional TV channels.
