Monster battle for kids looming

Forget about Today Tonight vs A Current Affair.

Think you’ve seen it all on Sunrise vs Today?

There’s a much bigger battle looming – the premiere of Dorothy the Dinosaur vs the new series of Hi-5. The two kids’ shows will air only 5 minutes apart on Monday June 11, and you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be major fights in loungerooms across Australia!

Dorothy is getting her first, stand-alone show on the ABC. Just as Joanie Loves Chachi flew the Happy Days coop, or Frasier checked out of Cheers, Dorothy has her own Wiggle-less show. What a dinosaur!

It’s a storyline ripped straight out of the Today show with Jessica Rowe / Sarah Murdoch / Kellie Connolly / Lisa Wilkinson! Oh Kathleen, didn’t you learn anything? Where will it all end! Who will win this titanic showdown? Will Dorothy hi-5 those Nine kids into history? Let’s get ready to rummmmmmmmble!
