i watch the first episode and i find it to be a very wooden performance . i have watch the original from it early day on big girl blouse to the last series on channel seven . kath and kim be a great mocumentary and it humor be something that most people get . however in this american version i find it to be dull and molly shannon be to fashionable to be kath day and kath wardrobe be suppose to be stick in the 80 with her frizzy perm . while selma blair figure hug clothes isn not as good a what the original kimmy wore . i also find that selma seem to be puff her belly out a lot and she be obviously a ( australian ) size 12 where kim should be ( australian ) a size 16/18 . the exchange from molly and selma be obviously so scripted and there be pause where there shouldn not be pause or the pause be a bit long and a someone suggest there could be a laughter track in there during those pause . it like molly and shannon be not use to each other and there be no mother or daughter chemistry . phil be okay he have the eccentric air around him like kel . however craig be to handsome and not the sweet plain humble brett from the aussie version . i find watch this be like watch a very bad stage play . the acting be pretty much wooden and the exaggeration of selma expression wear the funny off after ten minute . especially her sulk scene . to sum up and i find this show to be a waste of time and the script obviously have be dumbed down for american which most on the board say they prefer the original . if nbc want to show kath and kim why not pay the producer the money to screen the original . all i can add be magda you be one smart cookie for not let the producer use your character of sharon .
