me be from australia and love the series and i wasn not expect much from the american version of kath and kim but i thought i would watch the first episode to see if it be really that bad . well and whats there to say . it nothing special . selma blair be ok a kim and actually have a few good line and molly shannon be not a good kath though . the good thing about jane turner kath be that when she speak with all her funny accent ( such a when she say yumor or noice ) it sound like it just the natural way that she speak and but when shannon have a go at the accent and it clear that she be act and try to be the same a turner . and the show really miss sharon or some one else to give u something to laugh about and because the kal and craig character in this version be really not funny . so far only the first episode have air and it be clearly not up to the standard of the aussie version and although if it be a stand alone television show with a different name and not be compare to the aussie version it would perhaps be view a be a little bit well . but if there be nothing else to do on a sunday night ( or thursday night in america ) then you cant do much harm in watch it and or good put on some of the aussie version if you have get it .
