Good Morning With Rosemary!!! was one of Australian Television's first weekday breakfast/variety programs for children, on TEN Channel 10 (now part of Network Ten) and seen in New South Wales. It was produced and presented live to air by Rosemary Eather. The two-hour show featured news and live animals. (On one occasion an elephant, apparently counter to plan, walked between the live-to-air news reader and the camera, then toward the exit doors, with Rosemary and others chasing after this impressive animal "Star"..)
Guest celebrities included John Banner and Lorne Greene, and Australia's own Col Joye and Judy Stone. "Let's Explore" was a recurring feature.
The show aired Monday through Friday mornings from 7 to 9. It was the Ratings Winner as the "Most Popular Show". Rosemary also won the TV WEEK LOGIE AWARD for Best Female Television Personality NSW in 1969 + a special award from her peers and colleagues as the most Outstanding On Air TV Personality in 1969.
Other content included cartoons, serials, music clips, news, pet information,science experiments and competitions and interviews with famous personalities. During school holidays, groups of children joined Rosemary in the studio for a wide range of activities.
In 1971, it took the name Breakfast-a-Go-Go, paralleling, for Sydney, Fredd Bear's Breakfast-A-Go-Go on the Melbourne sister station, ATV Channel 0.
A new comedic sidekick, Witless Wonder (actor Ron Blanchard), replaced Warwick Rankin when he moved to his own children's show, Commander Strongarm.
