Looks funny, I love both of them…it just seems like they a pushing some of the jokes a bit hard…but can’t wait!
i doubted the office when it premiered on NBC citing the fact that British imports are never as good when they’re americanized, but i’m a HUGE fan now. i’m been proved wrong once, i can see them proving me wrong again…
This just doesn’t seem to get the original Australian versions humour, it seems to glamorous to be Kath & Kim.. Both actresses are way to pretty and made up to compare, one of the things that made Kimmy so funny was that she though she was a supermodel, but was far from it, squeezing herself into too tight closes with her g-string (sorry Thong for you americians) half way up her back. Brett (kim’s husband) is way to good looking. Kath’s boyfriend seems to be the only one that comes close, but is he a butcher and what amazing things can he do with a sausage?!
It just doesn’t seem right to me. Where is Kim’s bulging tummy? Where is Kath’s perm? Where are the thick accents? I know they have to make the show their own but it seems to be missing so much of what makes the Aussie version so hilarious. If you haven’t seen the Aussie version then I guess it may seem good.
Sorry – but is just not the same without Kim’s ‘muffin-top’. Kim’s chubbie-ness is such a part of the whole storyline …
When I first heard that Molly Shannon was being cast as Selma Blair’s mother, I thought WTF?
But this looks too funny, albeit I havent seen the Aussie version.
The Aussie version is MUCH better. This one just looks dumb.
it looks hilarious! counting down the days!
uhhh. I’m from Australia, and there is NO WAY that the American version will be even close to funny…sorry. Kim, first of all, needs to be overweight. It’s what makes her so funny, walking around in her 3 sizes too small clothes with her muffin top hanging out. And Kath :( Where’s the permed afro?? C’mon…this show doesn’t have a chance ^_^
I don’t know. I love Molly shannon in general, but the original Kath and Kim is SO FUNNY! I’m just a little hesitant.
I love both actresses but not in this way. The original Aussie version is brilliantly dry and unknowingly self-delusional which is always a riot to watch (also like some guys I have dated). There isn’t enough contrast for the visual to be hard-hitting. I wish them the best but doubt it should even be called Kath & Kim.
Where’s Sharon? Who’s playing Sharon? Not sure if i’m liking this or not. I’ve been watching Big Girls Blouse and loving the original concepts of Kath and Kim and I’m a huge Kath and Kim fan from the what was aired here on TV, so not yet sold on Molly or Selma playing the roles.
As a fan of the original, I personally can’t wait to see the NBC version. I like the spin they have put on it!
nay! they can try but they will most likely fail. they don’t even do the bogan voices
this looks pretty crap compared to the oz version & selma is way to thin to play kim
jason: i didnt even think of that!! there will only ever be one sharon in my eyes, no-one will live up to madga s!
Hey…just putting it out there the US version will be no where near as good as the ORIGINAL aussie version. I mean what new thing is better than the original? The aussie show was funny because it was different, there was nothing else like it and it incorporates so many jokes that can only apply to Australia. I am a little biased since im an aussie but i just don’t want to see the original kath and kim trashed because it was so amazing.
Hopefully the US version will be good in it’s own way but it will never be the OZ version!

Oh my god is everybody here retarded? This is the most unfunny piece of crap I’ve ever seen. It should never have been done. Please just watch our aussie version. Deary me…
I think it looks hilarious! But it makes sense that it is less brash than the Australian version. American are less brash than Aussies. Our culture is different.
