YMMV / Skippy the Bush Kangaroo

• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show was very popular in Britain, and as many British Timmy in a Well jokes reference Skippy instead of Lassie.
• Retroactive Recognition: Aunt Evelyn from "Aunt Evelyn" was played by Darlene Johnson, who would later be best known for playing Emily Weiss in Shock Treatment.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Skippy was female. Some people tend to mistakenly refer to her as a male kangaroo. Even the Animated Adaptation gets it wrong. Major clue that Skippy is a female: she has a pouch. Also, a Running Gag is that guest characters sometimes mistakenly referred to Skippy as a male, which is used to show that the characters do not know anything about kangaroos.
