    Ahhh...the good old days!! You'd be surprised what actuallly made it on air, majority of the jokes went over the younger kids head but certainly not the adults. My mum loved sitting and watching Agro with us, she got just as much enjoyment out of it as us kids. This is why us Aussies have such a good sense of humour, we grew up kids tv programs just like this. Agro is an Aussie National Treasure and still loved just as much now as he was then.

    There was a live audience sometimes. I took my niece and nephew to see him a couple of times. There was always lots of kids writing in telling Anne-Marie off for hitting Agro. Jamie Dunn also did adults only shows at various clubs around Brisbane with Agro the bath mat. Jamie was very quick with the double meaning quips and the shows were hilarious as he didn't have to keep it G rated. It is amazing how much actually made it to air on the cartoon show. It would never happen now.

I was not a kid in the '90's. I remember watching my young sister watch this show and she never picked up on even one of the foul tirades that Agro came out with. Aussie kids in the '90's were so innocent compared with todays kids. Agro was on morning tv for years and became an Aussie treasure. You would have loved this show as much as we all did. Watching your reactions to this video were priceless. Cheers

    The show was called Cartoon Connection. Kids would watch the show in the morning. The show lasted for 2 hours. Agro and his co-host had 3 or 4 10 minute segments. Intro's to cartoons were within the last 30 seconds of the segment. Most of what you saw did make to the screen.

    Many of the tv stations in Australia would do what were called "goof tapes" that were played at work Christmas parties and a lot of this type of footage was never meant for public viewing. Agro was also on Wombat. Both these shows originated in Brisbane, Queensland. Ann-Maree actually started in another kids' tv show in regional Queensland (SEQ), Scruffy the Dog Show (somehow that has slipped from her resume). The most outrageous goof tape I ever saw was one from Play School (absolutely hilarious). Brisbane had lots of unique children's shows, including Boris the Black Knight on the 1980/90ss. There was also Shirl's Neighbourhood where kids sent in their used bandaids.

    For our non-Australian friends. Agro was the puppet character on a kids TV show called 'Agros Cartoon Connection' that ran for 2-3hrs on weekday mornings. The clips are outtakes.

    Yes - it WAS children's TV. Used to be on in the mornings. It used to go for a couple of hours and these segments were screened between cartoon shows like (say)Scooby Doo.
    There were lots of puppet-type characters on Aussie kids TV back then. Winky Dink, Ossie Ostrich and (until Agro came along) the rudest was probably Rock Wallaby (a bit like Basil Brush).

    This is a collection of bloopers that would have been used for the "Christmas Tape". Each year at the Channel 7 Brisbane Christmas party for the talent and crew, the editors would create a tape of bloopers to play. This came from one of those tapes. The show, Agros Cartoon Connection, was filmed in Brisbane and was basically just educational segments, promos for toys and funny skits which were played in between cartoons like TMNT. The show aired at 6am every weekday morning. The show was very much a G-rated children's show, and didn't have anything rude like this video shows, but the crew during filming had a tendency to muck around a lot, like you saw in the clips :P

    Yeah those were out-takes. It was called Agro's cartoon connection. The nostalgia. I remember looking forward to that show as a kid, and I watched it religiously every morning. It's a historical kids show from the 80's.

    Used to love this show as a kid it was awesome!!
    Now it's still awesome because of these clips I didn't understand back then.
    I remember they came to Bribie island for something live and I got to go see it. It was funny because they said that agro liked eating cockroaches and stone's so the other kids in my street and my self were all collecting both.
    I took him a bag of rock I got off the side of the road 😊.
    Great memories back then. 🙂
    Glad you got to watch this mate 👍🇦🇺

    Agro's Cartoon Connection was a kid's TV show. They showed cartoons and reviewed all the latest toys. Agro was always cheeky and very naughty on the kid's show so of course, the kids loved him. Every now and then Jamie Dunn (Agros alter ego) couldn't restrain himself, and he would let fly with some very adult comments and jokes. He was a very funny man with a wicked sense of humor. Poor Ann-Maree would be the victim so she was constantly thumping Agro and Jamie. Thank heavens for pre-recorded TV. None of the Adult stuff went to air in the kid's time slot. It was all saved and was shown at an appropriate adult time slot and advertised as adult content. Like the collection of clips, you are watching now.

    This was a kids show. Argo was a funny, cranky puppet. The humour was great and he had a way of making jokes that adults and kids would laugh at for different reasons. Very clever. This particular clip you are showing, was the out takes and would never have been aired. I’m so glad I got to see this.

    These shows were aired on Saturday morning. In between the episodes of mayhem in the studio, they aired cartoons.The audience was a combination of kids, who didn't get a lot of the jokes but enjoyed the vibe, but were really there for the cartoons, and young people who were still awake and coming down after a loooooong Friday night out clubbing etc. Parents rarely saw this stuff, and no one much complained. It is surprising how much of this stuff actually made it to air.

      Whereas, channel 9 had Ossie Ostrich. He wasn't as rude as Agro, but did get the occasional rude bit off. Like the time Jackie MacDonald remarked on camera that she could smell fish, and Ossie told her "Then take smaller steps"

    This was a show for kids that had cartoons and things that might interest them, like new toys that were released or the Rangers that brought native animals or pets in....... but it was always only slightly cut before it went to air. Like the swearing never made it, but stuff that did was still hysterical, also Agro was very happy to keep reminding people he was a puppet with a rubber ball for a nose and arms he couldn't move. He was always getting attacked by various animals like the dog!!! You've gotta remember he's a hand puppet on the arm of a dude who was under the desk & couldn't see shit!!!!!! Kids loved it, but we adults loved it more & the best part was they'd do live appearances to kids audience's. So if it went pear shaped....................🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍

    Agro's Cartoon Connection was an Australian children's television show that aired on the Seven Network from 1990 to 1997. Shown on weekday mornings, it was primarily hosted by Agro, a puppet played by comedian Jamie Dunn. It was all on TV but clever enough to go over all the kids heads , but not the Adults.

    Agro! We loved Agro and Anne Marie as kids. The show was called Cartoon Connection, it was on every morning before school and I don't know anyone my age who didn't love it. Most of the jokes went right over our heads alot of the time, but kept our parents in stitches. Agro was sent parcels of pictures and crafts and handmade clothes and Anne Marie would read out the letters while Agro poked fun at everything he got. He was rude and obnoxious and hilariously funny.
    This was such a trip down memory lane, thank you 😂

He also had a show called Argo’s Cartoon Connection in the late 90’s called Agro’s Cartoon Connection which was hosted by Anne Marie (seen in the video). Super funny but I’m sure some of those bits never made it to air !
