The Fairies

I think that this Australian kiddie show has a good chance to rival Barney or the Smurfs for saccharine content.

I kept waiting for a lawnmower to visit their grassy realm.

The fandango tango bit is disturbing to say the least. Where is the weed whacker when you need it?

The bee is a bit sleazy-looking we he sings the Fandango Tango.

Exactly what are the Aussies teaching their kiddos.. this looks like is should be called "Here's what happens when you drop some acid" 😉

Not nearly as good as the upside down show.

We had Cowboy Jim in my home town when I was growing up. His run ended one day when he was caught running down Broadway wearing nothing but his six-shooter and boots. But, the bee in this show should SERIOUSLY be kept away from <strike>kiddies</strike> humanity.
