SnoopyStyle Kath (Molly Shannon) and Kim Day (Selma Blair) are a wacky mother and daughter pairing. Phil Knight (John Michael Higgins) and Craig Baker (Mikey Day) are their romantic love interests.This is a Australian transplant of a wacky mother-daughter TV comedy. And with that, there was a lot of whining from fans of the original. Inevitably, the US has prettier people and loses some of its edgier elements. Shannon and Blair work well together, and have enough comedic skills to pull it off. Higgins is hilarious and off beat. Day pales in comparison. There is a wacky show here but it's somewhat uneven. It lasted 17 episodes. If only people forget about the Australian original, this might have had a chance.

windtar They tried but failed with this sitcom. I give it one season.The show lacks comedy, lacks laughs, lacks chemistry between love interests and actually is quite irritating how they act. Stop the movie star references and gossiping, it don't work.I haven't seen the Australian original series others say this was modeled after, so my opinion is based on what i've seen.I have seen every episode so far, 5 i think, and have to say i feel it will be cancelled.Molly Shannon seems like a lousy a mom, and Selma Blair is a absolutely rotten daughter that is so annoying, no one would put up with her.I have to say i enjoy molly shannons boyfriend character, i like his style.Selma blairs husband is OK, but no way would he put up with a wife like her. Selmas characer is way way way to stuck up and witchy for the show.It needs HUMOR !! simple I'm curious who watches this show faithfully, because i can't see too many gujys watching it, and i'd think woman over 50 crowd wouldn't enjoy.it's worth a watch if there's nothing else on, but if there's a different comedy sitcom on opposite this show, choose the other.

edfmc There is something about this show that keeps me watching and hoping for the future of it. In the writing, the jokes are few and far between, and the story lines are a bore, so I figure it must be the physical comedy and the visuals.I do enjoy the camera movement, set dressing, and wardrobe. It's amusingly highly contrasted against the dullness that reigns. And I'm pretty sure every time I have laughed it was because of John or Molly's physical comedy. The two of them make a sickeningly cute couple that make me laugh and want to puke at the same time.So here I go ready to sit down to Kath & Kim one more time tonight to see what path this production will go down (or up as the case may be, looking forward positively).

moi sumune I am an ex-pat Aussie living in the US and I loved the US version. I also love the Aussie version. I find all the griping by the Aussies really painful - talk about a tall poppy syndrome as Kath would say. THe thing that makes Kath&Kim work so well for me is that I know those stereotypes in Australia. The point is that the US does not have those stereotypes, and hence they have to adapt the characters to ones Americans can relate to. What is innovative is that it is a show about the mother/daughter relationship which is seldom explored on TV except in sickeningly sweet shows like the Brady Bunch. The reality is often not very pretty, Kath and Kim strip all the sugarcoating off and shows it for what it is - by turning it into a joke. I can't wait to see more of both series!
