'Johnson & Friends' Was a Australian Children's show produced by Film Austria and then by Avalon Studios in 1990 and created by Ron Saunders, John Patterson and Ian Munro for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and aired between the third of September 1990 to the tenth of July 1997 on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation television network. it also aired on TCC and the BBC as well as Tiny Living in the UK. The show was about the adventures of 6 toys. Johnson, Mcduff, Diesel, Alfred, Squeaky and Victoria. [1]
The North American Dub
In 1994 the Fox Children's Network brought the show to North America with a North American dub produced between 1994 and 1996. This dub was implemented into Fox's "The Fox Clubhouse" as a segment for Tuesday and Thursday airings. It featured several changes with most of the voice actors being swapped for American ones excluding the voice actor for Alfred who had to rerecord his lines due to mastering issues. Apart from the change of voice actor minor cuts were made to remove Australian slag and music was added in parts that were deemed too quiet by Fox. the Fox Network later commissioned 26 more episodes and another dub was done with the voice actor for Diesel being replaced by the original one. This resulted in several re-dubbings of previous episodes and the episodes would be dubbed by the Australian voice actors in 1997. In 1996 the Fox Clubhouse was taken off the air and the North American dub has not aired since. The North American dub had also made it's way to Guam on KTGM as part of the Fox Clubhouse.
Availability
Only 48 episodes of the original North American dub and 9 episodes of the re-dub have resurfaced as of January 2023. [2] The dubs first surfaced on Youtube with the first episodes being uploaded by Joseph Marshall in 2020 before being reuploaded by Johnson and Noddy in 2021 after their channel was terminated earlier that same year. The dubs never had a home media release and it was believed the master tapes were wiped however, several mastering tapes are known to still exist.
