A Dog's Show

A Dog's Show [1] is a New Zealand television series featuring sheepdog trials, presented by John Gordon. For many years it screened on TV ONE on Sundays at 6pm (before the evening news). It was broadcast between 1977 and 1992. Reruns were screened on TVNZ 6 (at 11:00pm) while that station was broadcasting. The series was replaced in 1993 with Tux Wonder Dogs, which screened until 1999, and again from 2004-2005, and was hosted by Mark Leishman.[2]

Theme Music

The theme music was an instrumental version of the Statler Brothers song Flowers on the Wall.[1] Of note, this piece of music was also used in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.

In Drive By, the seventh episode of the HBO comedy series Flight of the Conchords, A Dog's Show is the first show on the tape of New Zealand TV shows that Murray received from his mother. Bret McKenzie has stated that he is a fan.[3]
