Turner and Riley are geniuses, simple as that. They have created a perfect, hilarious and always without fail, painstakingly real series which draws you into the everyday life of Kath and Kim. It is on repeat in my Dvd player. It has been for over 3 months and i'm not tired of it!!

As another reviewer noted, they are the French and Saunders of Oz. In the US we have to hunt and peck to pick up the odd run. The first US cable channel that carried them bit the dust (unique here), though Redford's Sundance Channel picked them up. Just saw the Christmas film 'introducing' Barry Humphries with several major developments in their spotty lives, complicated by an evil albino hunchbacked monk who shadowed Kath and Kel after their French DeVinci Code Tour. Hopefully this will show up on Amazon soon.

The combination of visual humor, verbal slapstick and satire isn't to be had otherwise on US television. Second viewing is usually rewarded.

Missed a couple of episodes when shown on tv..its a brilliant 'send up' of the way of Australian life that only they could do properly. Its funny and then some! If you know Melbourne and this part of the area...its a must. So true its unbelievable.

This is THE best, most consistently funny show on TV at the moment. Every episode is packed full of surreal situations and incredibly quick fire humour. What I most like about this show is that Gina Riley and Jane Turner have managed to create a programme with more than one layer to it. You can watch it and enjoy the visual comedy, from Kath's dodgy perm and MC Hammer jumpsuits, to Kel's greasy slicked hair. You can laugh hysterically at the situational humour and observational humour. But... if you watch an episode again you'll pick up on whole new jokes you missed the first time around, because throughout each episode, subtle wordplay is in action. The two women who write and star in K&K admit to being hugely influenced by Ab Fab, and you can definitely see the similarities, although it's more of a role-reversal with the mother being the more sensible of the two, and the daughter being the selfish, spoilt whiny brat. The over the top costumes and catchphrases are also influenced by Ab Fab - I thought I'd never see colours as violent and clashing again after Ab Fab's Edina bowed out, but Kath seems to be spearheading an eighties fluro revival. This show truly deserves a place in TV history, it's far funnier than any British comedies of recent years, please go out and buy it!

This is by far one of the funniest shows for years. The writing, casting and acting are faultless. Each episode leaves you wanting more and you'll have a smile on your face for ages afterwards. The character of 'Sharon' is pure genius and for me, she's the star of the show - and that's high praise in itself, as the whole cast give some of the best comedy performances I've seen in a long time. The out-takes are brilliant too!
