on She's The Best They Could Do? at 12:04 11/17/2008

I am an Australian living in America and I had such high hopes for K&K especially since Jane Turner and Gina Riley (AUS Kath & Kim) are the execs. It is SO sad for me to see how much the show has changed. The "humor" is forced and plain not funny, it's tacky to say the least. Tacky in a bad way I mean the Australian format really plays up the tacky into humor and the US version, boy it just does not carry over.

It's too bad though cause the AUS version truly is HILARIOUS! Hopefully HBO picking up "Summer Heights High" will be a great move for AUS television and our humor can carry over into American TV.

I think though it has something to do with testing the humor water, look at "The Office", the 1st season was HORRIBLE because English humor doesn't carry over well. American humor is much more obvious and slapstick where as other countries comedy shows are more covert. And now "The Office" is one of my favorite shows. Or "Arrested Development" easily one of the best shows ... ever ... and it didn't do well here.

I have hope though that more great comedy shows like "The Office", "Arrested Development" and "30 Rock" can still happen. Hopefully K&K can take a hint that the writers need to rewrite all scripts submitting for episodes cause they lost me 5 minutes into the 1st show. I kept watching for it to pick up and was disappointed.
