Sausage Rolls & Videos I Saw At Grandma's Today

Whenever I eat sausage rolls at Grandma's, I just want to put that Very Special Caillou thing on. It's where Caillou eats pizza and gets a heart attack, and then it's all revealed to be one of Daddy's dreams. It really puts you in the mood for eating ASDA sausage rolls!

The 'Hood: Some Guys Have All The Luck & Bluey's Zoo

Today's Bluey episodes on ABC Kids in Australia are Bus and Asparagus, and their alternate names are the names of these following The 'Hood episodes:

Some Guys Have All The Luck:

Izzy starts to feel a little closer to Luke, and as they develop feelings for one another, the rest of the gang try to realize what happens when a girl Izzy's age falls in love.

Bluey's Zoo:

Inspired by Bluey and Bingo's toy animals, the gang decide to turn themselves into a zoo: Izzy becomes a dolphin, Mitchell becomes a lion, Becky becomes a chimpanzee, Templeton becomes a cow, Luke is a wolf (obviously), Resus is a goat, Cleo is a cat, Tiny and Small are elephants and Bingo a mouse. They have to swap roles whenever Bluey shouts "Shamdoodle!" but then they all get mixed up!

The 'Hood DVDs

The 'Hood DVDs will be released in Australia, in the UK and all over the world. They'll be just like the Bluey DVDs - they have the same amount of episodes as in each Australian Bluey DVD and each has a Bluey episode or two as a bonus feature.

My Australian Counterpart's ABC Kids & ABC Me Journals

I talk about my Australian counterpart's ABC Me and ABC Kids journals, and how she'd alter the names of every episode of every show on these two favourite Australian networks.

To Be Continued...

The 'Hood: Stick With Imagination & Dads Can Be Anyone

Today's Bluey episodes on ABC Kids in Australia are Escape and Neighbours, and their alternate names are the names of the episodes of The 'Hood I'm going to showcase today.

Stick With Imagination

Spending the day at Bluey's house, the gang feel the neighbourhood has become far too noisy today, so they try to think up their own places in which to escape all the noise, hustle and bustle. Izzy and the big kids imagine a beach where they can relax in the warm sunshine. Tiny and Small imagine a musical, Fantasia-like wonderland where they can conduct their own tunes. And Bluey and Bingo imagine a valley with a giant tree clubhouse in the centre near a giant ball pit - the valley is ruled by kids and Bluey, Bingo and their friends can play whenever they want, and share in the fun together! But Mum and Dad have their own fantasy world only for grown-ups to escape to...

Dads Can Be Anyone

Dad, Mike, Alston, Niles, Major Clanger, Uncle Stripe and Lucky's dad go for a guy's night out, while Sue, Bella, Mother Clanger, Mum and Aunt Trixie have a girl's night in. As the men make their way through the night, there's only one problem - they keep switching identities! With help and advice from the dads of Luo Bao Bei and Elmo, the men realize that male family members can be anyone at any time, and that being this way makes them the best dads ever!

An Important Aussie Announcement

I have an important announcement for those wondering why I'm giving up Me, You, And...until November. I've saved Me, You, And...works themed to Power Rangers Time Force, Noddy, Sonic X, Digimon Tamers, Megaman NT Warrior, Care Bears, My Little Pony and Digimon Adventure in a jar for later in the next few years, but the important news is: since my brain is occupied currently by The 'Hood, I'll be working on the episode scripts from this month to November. I'm also doing the specials, Road Trip and Survival. I'll balance this with its British counterpart, I.B.F.Fs, so watch out in case you see any I.B.F.Fs content on my blog, and since I'm going all Aussie I'm still doing the Australian-African folk tale of Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron, so look out for that in the next few weeks as well.

The 'Hood: Tickle Toes & Back To The Beginning

Today's Bluey episodes on ABC Kids in Australia are Tickle Crabs and Chickenrat, and their alternate names make good use for the episode names of The 'Hood.

Tickle Toes

The gang have fun playing 'Tickle Monsters' in the creek, but Izzy knows one monster who only tickles an unsuspecting person's feet.

Back To The Beginning

A typical day in the neighbourhood is told from each of the gang's point of view. Starting with Izzy drifting off to sleep, it suddenly rewinds back to the morning. The same thing happens, as we see the day retold from the points of view of Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Tiny, Small, Bluey and Bingo as they live a typical day - waking up, having breakfast, going to school, hanging out after school, spending time at home in the evening, etc.. The song 'Supermarket (Clemek Remix)' from Run Lola Run is featured in this episode as well as the episode 'Flashbacks'.

Videos I Saw At Grandma's Today

Me, You, And Transformers Armada Apology

Those past three days have gone by without a single trace of Me, You, And Transformers. You've been waiting, but what you saw was nothing. The reason why was because I turned my attention from MYATA: A Fatal Decision to various other subjects such as South Park, reggae, Australian culture and Australian TV channels ABC Kids and ABCMe - and that all culminates in a new project: an Australian version of I.B.F.Fs, named The 'Hood.

 A mixed-media project like The Amazing World Of Gumball, the show follows a regular Aussie girl named Izzy, who lives in an extraordinary Australian neighbourhood where ABC Kids and ABC Me are operated - just look at the TV centre in the middle of town - and ABC Kids and ABC Me characters live together. She and her friends Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Tiny, Small, Bluey and Bingo navigate the curiosities of growing up and life with the help of their families and neighbours. This friendly neighbourhood is a place where it's always Summer, play is the main importance and being a kid is the only law of nature. The show, which mixes animation styles like 2D animation, Japanese anime, stop-motion, CGi and claymation and live-action, has an upbeat musical reggae score and not only features reggae pop songs, but it also features a score by Trinidad childrens' musician Asheba, whose songs feature on the Putumayo Kids CDs. I'd describe the show, to some parents, as a mixture of The Get-Along Gang, a less-bratty Caillou and Arthur meets a toned-down Mission Hill and South Park. The show will air on both ABC Me and ABC Kids in Australia, whilst in other countries, the show will air on Boomerang and Cartoonito. Like they say in Play School's intro, there's always 'people with games and stories to tell' - and that goes for The 'Hood too! The episodes are named after alternate names an Australian kid would give episodes of shows on ABC Me and ABC Kids, mainly Bluey, which the first lot of episodes are named after.

So next week, I'll do the first seven episodes over the course of seven days:

• Joking Around - The gang, with the help of Lucky, try to find ways the people in their neighbourhood like to joke around.
• Pinot Grigio - Whilst sharing drinks, the gang learn which drinks are good for you and which drinks are bad, giving the viewers a lesson in the dangers of alcohol.
• The Balloon - The gang find clever uses for their circus balloons when Muffin, Chloe, Socks, Vlad, Luella and Gwen come over to play. As they spend time at the park together, they don't realize other people are finding good usage for their balloons!
• Robots, Milk & Cookies - Whilst playing at being robots, most of the gang question if robots like ketchup, rain, radios and kites. But the big question is: is their favourite food milk and cookies, and do they get powered up by such food?
• Cool Shade - The gang play around in shady places, mostly under their favourite tree.
• Lazy Weekend - The gang spend a lazy weekend together, doing nothing.
• Waiting For Lunch - At the annual Bring-Something Barbecue, the gang try to think of the delicious food they can eat whilst they wait for lunch!

I'll deliver a teaser this Sunday, so tune in. Also, throughout the next few weeks, I'll update you Australian readers on what's on ABC Kids and ABC Me, and with each Bluey episode airing on Disney Junior in the UK, I'll fill you in on each episode of The 'Hood. It will be really repetitive at times, but don't worry, you can read them again and again on end if you want!
