Have you seen or do you like???

I had seen the previews of the show and it seemed so funny and couldn't wait until it aired. Well, it aired and I forgot all about it until I was talking to my daughter and we were talking about some TV shows and that one come up and she said she watched it and was really disappointed in it and didn't plan to watch it any more and told me not to waste my time. She and I like the same things so she knew I would not like it if she didn't. She said if the show had been as funny as the previews then it would have been a hit.

I think I can answer your question, LadyMarissa. I'm an Australian, and Kath & Kim is an Australian show, reliant on a very Australian, self-depracating sense of humour. The writers (and actors) are poking fun at a certain type of Australian, and if you live here and know people like that (as most of us do), it's hilarious! I saw the first episode of the American version, and our humour doesn't translate at all - I just didn't get it. We had two episodes of the American version on our televisions, and then the channel pulled them and are now repeating the original Australian version. The American actors were far too 'attractive' and 'normal' to portray Kath & Kim with their quirky imperfections. You need to see the original version to really appreciate it!

i don't watch it since it is not aired in my country. What is it all about? Is it a drama or a comedy? © ronaldinu 2008

If you are talking about the new US version of this show then I haven't seen it yet and have also heard some megative reviews about it. I have always watched the original series back in Australia and found it absolutely hilarious. When I heard that they had sold the rights for the US market and were redoing it for local audiences I was really intrigued to know how they would change it because Aussie humour is VERY different and not always understood or appreciated elsewhere. I am going to have to try to find some episodes so I can see for myself once and for all!

Hi LadyMarissa, I have only seen that show once and I was bored, I don't find it funny or is it just me? I don't like their sense of houmour at all 'sorry, its just not my cup of tea. Tamara

I have not seen that show, but if you do not like the show's humor it will not matter if nbc's own critics think it is the best out there, it is just not for you.
