The Goodies were great fun, like a slimmed down version of Python
Indeed afaik the three of them did a lot of writing with several of the pre-Pythons, ergo the very similar sensibility. I knew The Goodies before i learned of & became a mad fangirl of Python, & would posit that it'd probably be quite unlikely that one could like TG & not MP, or vice versa. Then, if one does indeed like those, then probably one also likes The Goons, Cook & Moore, et al.

Rentaghost... did you get that in Oz?
Not when i was still in its target demographic, no. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rentaghost:
A pilot for an Australian version of the series was filmed in 1989, five years after the end of the original series
By then, i was 6 years post-Uni & with a very busy work & personal life happening, so til now i'd not known of this show at all.

...occurred during Uni, & though i certainly knew of it i never watched it. I think probably it was just that i had far too much going on then, rather than any adverse implication for the show itself.
