Whatever Happened to the Littlest Hobo?

[Beaussie]

Was just thinking about one of my fav TV shows when I was a kid. Anyone remember the Littlest Hobo. He was so cool and caring, moving on to help someone new each episode. He put Lassie and Benji to shame.

Lassie was awesome, wow, I might take a visit to ebay and ssee if they sell any of the video epidsodes.

 

[Beaussie]

Sure do miss him. I used to love singing along to the song as well. Bring back the Littlest Hobo.

 

[Sato]

I don't recall it at all, how old is it?

 

[Beaussie]

From memory he was on our screens in the late 80s early 90s. He was such a legend, always willing to help others.

Such an inspiration. He could even drive a car

 

[Sato]

well i was a kid then, so i probly should know it, lassie wasn't a fav of mine, so i doubt it would have been watched much by me anyhow.

 

[Houdini]

Sure do miss him. I used to love singing along to the song as well. Bring back the Littlest Hobo.

I loved The Littlest Hobo!
He was always there to save the day, but never had a place to call home.

The theme song went

"Maybe tomorrow
I'll wanna settle down,
Until tomorrow,
I'll just keep moving on"

 

[Twizzle]

I thought half was the littlest homo

 

[Houdini]

Originally filmed in the 60's it was remade in 1979. The last episodes went to air in 85. Plenty of re-runs though.

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Down this road, that never seems to end,
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Instrumental Bridge

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

There's a world, that's waiting to unfold,
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,

We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long,
We're almost there and we've paid our fare, with the hobo song.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home
Until tomorrow, you know I'm free to roam.

I've never heard of this show :?

 

[The Colonel]

Quite obviously your just not cultured enough Earl :lol: ..... or too young to remember.

 

[Houdini]

I used to watch it every week day with my sister. It was my favourite show when I was a kid.

 

[The Colonel]

It was on the ABC wasn't it - 5.30 Monday to Friday? My whole family loved this show.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Houdini]

I cant remember what channel, I just remember watching it religiously

 

[Earl]

By the looks of it I was too young

Thanks for the song lyrics Colonel. From memory he graced our screens on Channel 7 weekdays. Would love to see some re-runs. He was so much better than Inspector Rex.
