Okay, please tell me I'm not the only straight male in America who has fallen in love with this show? It's stupid, it's silly, it's ultra-white, but I just can't tear my eyes from it. I love it! In no small part due to the fact that I have a huge crush on Selma Blair... So anyone else watch?? :p

I've seen two episodes. I don't care for it; the humor is dry in all the wrong ways for me; and I like British humor as much as the next guy (who quotes Python ad infinitum).

I just don't think it translates well from it's home country.

Now let's see if they decide to make an American version of Spaced. I'd watch that.

I actually really can't get into British humor, and I don't think the show is trying to have that kind of sense of humor.

...

But Selma Blair is hooooot.

Actually, it's from Australia, not Britain.


I personally think the show is awful. And most of America agrees with me...

I'm ticked because NBC canned an American version of The IT Crowd for that show.

British comedy > Australian comedy.

Yep Kath and Kim is Australian and yep British Comedy kicks ass over aussie comedy. I've only seen a bit of the US K&K and it seemed even worse than the Aussie one.

Glen Robbins, who stars in Kath and Kim has a cool show, All Aussie Adventures, which is one of the best auddie comedies ever. It's a Steve Irwin type show, cept a mockumentary, funny stuff.

I know it's Australian... well my girlfriend told me it was anyway. The humor is still very dry. I expect it to be cancelled soon.
