Home and Howay

Home and Howay was a popular 80s soap-com set on the island of Norramby. It ran for two seasons before being cancelled due to The Great Ground Texture Depression of 1996.

Alan Seymour and Alan Semyour wake up on the island of Norramby and are forced to put their survival skills to the test. Luckily, Jeff Probst lives on the island and helps the two Geordie stars to build shelter and hunt for food.

Goofles

 * In one shot in the second episode of season 1, you can see Alan Seymour through the window of his island house. The animators must not have known how glass worked, but this issue was rectified in US airings of the episode
 * The colour of Alan Semyour's sombrero changed frequently during episodes. Some speculate this may have been explained in a deleted scene from the third episode of season 2
 * The survival instructor, Jeff Probst, has an unpronounceable surname
