Kath and Kim is one of THE funniest programs to come out of Australia. It means just as much to REAL aussie humour as does The Castle and Steve Irwin.
Anyone wanting to come onto a Kath and Kim page and rip into it can go get effed while doing the horizontal irish dancing! (OMG THE funniest episode- Obsession) -

Little Britain is quite possibly the worst show to come out of Britain in the last 5 years. None of their jokes are funny and they use the same ones EACH GOD DAMN EPISODE! That's just lazy writing.
Same about Kath & Kim. If I don't bash it, who will? Me and my mates must be the only people who realise what garbage this is.
Kath & Kim fans are just sore losers. When "Double the Fist" won the AFI, at the press conference after all they were asked was "What was it like to bea 'Kath & Kim'?". Practically every newspaper article attacked the fact that this "poorly rated show" beat the favourite.
I say rubbish! This show didn't win because it's crap. No-one understood DTF for what is was. And the only reason it got poor ratings was because no-one got it, and because the ABC gave it the worst timeslot of the week.
You know what, go ahead. Enjoy this garbage, ignorance is bliss afterall. Just remember that DTF IS a better show, and all the KK fans in the world can't change that fact. As I always say, popularity does not equal quality.

Why does everyone always resort to the "get a life" statement everytime they are proven wrong and can't think of anything witty as a comeback?
Suddenly anyone with an opinion different to yours doesn't have a life huh? So what you're saying is that people who don't like Little Britain don't have a life, right?
First of all, I didn't 'torture myself', I watched the first 2 episodes of Little Britain, then another episode down the track and saw that nothing had changed. Plus I had some free time and there was nothing else on.
Yes, we all have different tastes, but 'Little Britain' is still a recent example of lazy writing. I can accept that 'Little Britain' is not my taste in humour, but that is still no excuse to use the same jokes every episode.
When I went over to England in January this year to visit relatives, I heard people on the radio were still raving about it, using random quotes and even making prank phone calls using audio snippets from the show.
It just really annoyed me that such a bad show can have such high praise over there, whilst a brilliant Australian program like DTF is cancelled after it's first season because no-one believed an original, funny and well-made comedy could be popular.

Jeez man. I think 'get a lif meant' 'stop going on the pages of shows you hateand do something constructive'. You obviously just don't get Kath and Kim or Little Britain. That's fine, keep your opinions to yourself or other like minded individuals. How & when this turned into 'who's better, DTF or Kath and Kim' i guess I'll never know as i'm too lazy to scroll back up, but i urge, you, stay on DTF page and do what i'm presently doing to people who don't like the show, and then you'll see where I'm coming from.

Proven wrong? You really are a moron. Whether or not you enjoy a program is due to personal tatses and opinion. It isn't a right or wrong scenario. Just because you happen to be of the mind that a particular program is unoriginal or unfunny, doesnt mean that it universally is. If you cant work that out your either a complete imbecile or just laughingly pompous.
The reason DTF did poorly, and Kath and Kim does well, is because more people like Kath and Kim. Ie, what is liked sells, not a difficult concept is it?
Instead of just accepting that as an obvious part of the entertainment idustry, you have a big cry. Thats why people tell you to get a life. Its not that you dont enjoy the program, Im sure lots of people don't. Its your sad, pathetic 'dummy spit' method of conveying your view that makes you look a complete loser.
And as for DFT Time slot? Oh poor babies Ever heard of the Late show? Exceedingly popular program that performed at a simlar timeslot. Botrtom line is it was high quality, as a result people found it. They didt care what time it was on.
So crappy little DTf didnt rate. Maybe next time they should make a program that actually appeals to enough people to be worth putting on TV.
waaaaaaaaahhhhhh. Get over it numnuts. -

Sometimes I have to sit back and wonder why I am scrolling through these posts when I could be doing something more valuable with my time. To the guy that just keeps going and going and going and going on and on - slandering Kath and Kim by comparing it to a British sketch show - buddy, let it go. I think people just need to be more accepting of each other's tastes. 'Little Britain' might not be you favourite show on the boxso don't watch it, man.
I think 'The Office' is one of the greatest tv shows ever to be produced, and still (i work in a dvd store) i hear customers crap on about how it's unfunny and slow and blah blah blah - but i bite my lip and keep on working coz it's THEIR opinion and who am I to say anything? I live to fight another day
As for the whole 'Double the Fist' comments made previously - they seem very, very bitter and I am thinking to myself - is this guy some disgruntled writer or associate of the show?
Andapparently the ABC are just money-hungry etc. - (coughs) the last time I checked, the ABC is a government-funded free-to-air tv station - not like their rivals at TEN, SEVEN or NINE
I think 'Kath and Kim', 'Double the Fist' and 'Little Britain' are all TV shows that have attracted wide audience appeal and gained cult-like status, kudos to them. Even if a series doesn't gain their audience immediately, the advent of the DVD TV SERIES has led to the cult revival of many overlooked tv shows that's my bit (and to think, I don't even write in these posts)

Wow. Maybe you should give up on liking comedy. You already lost me at Kath and Kim not being hilarious but then put the final nail in the coffin by calling Seinfeld boring and unfunny. Maybe comedy as a genre is not your thing.

While double the fist was hillarious it was never going to appeal to a mass audience. That's why it had a bad timeslot.
Arrested development was treated even worse by Seven. It's on Mondays at 12.00am or 12.30am or whenever they can be buggered putting it on. -

Shows like Little Britain and Kath And Kim are character-driven comedies. You watch it because you enjoy and like the characters, not the sketches. I agree - they aren't the most brilliantly-written series I've ever seen but they are fun (which, I think you'd agree, is one of the main prerequisites for TV comedies).
I mean, I was watching the League Of Gentlemen on the weekend, and then started watching Little Britain. It was so repetitive, and (compared to League) poorly-written, that I ended up switching it off and watching the commentary on League. At least Kath and Kim has a plot in each episode, unlike LB which just rehashes the same jokes in different settings. That said, I think some of the characters in LB are pretty funny, like Vicki Pollard and Daffyd.
I never heard of that comedy you were talking about on the ABC. Where can I see it? Unfortunately it is just nasty fact of the industry that if a shows doesn't rate, they get pushed back and taken off the air. It is a rare show that is given the opportunity to stick it out in TV.

Just bought the series 1 DVD (had only ever seen a few episodes before) and I think it is brilliant, and I'm not from Australia. Most of us have seen the dire Aussie soaps so can get what Kath&Kim are parodying so well!
They are both fantastic character actors and there is some great comedy writing and observation going on. Love it.
So, you don't need to be from Australia - do you need to be from Slough to get the Office? Torquey to get Fawlty Towers? -

Hey there!
This show was recommended by an Aussie friend. I liked it so much that I just got my own copy of Series 1-3 (Costed me a fortune, though!).
I am not from Australia but I LOVE this show. As an Indian, the accent was hard to understand but once I grasped it, I liked it very much! Everytime I watch, there seems to be something funny which I missed earlier. -
