Does anyone remember this? It was an Australian sitcom and was brilliant! And more excitingly it's now on Netflix!!

DH commented on how it is just as funny as it was first time. We reckon the snippy mum - sulky adult daughter never gets old. Add in the dorky stepfather/vavavoom second-time around sex life with your adult child under your roof - mortificado all round! 🤮 😂 So funny!

boatyardblues · 05/08/2018 22:11

there’s a dynamic^ missing from that post.

Starting watching tonight. It's so brilliant.

Pru and Trude with the wedding list: “Only 400 Dollars for the Dutch oven....” Grin

Kim arguing about colours when renovating their 'unit'
"I just want eggplant in the vestibule - is that too much to ask?"

I can't stand the American remake. Selma Blair as Kim?! No Sharon??! What was even the point?

I used to have a set of Kath and Kim dress up dolls on the fridge until the dog worked out she could lever the pieces off with her teeth. They went missing, but I found Kath's kimono under the microwave the other day.

OctaviaOctober · 28/08/2018 22:12

You're not a pretty face!

NynaeveSedai · 28/08/2018 22:17

I fucking love Kath and kim. Look at moooiiii!

EsmesBees · 28/08/2018 22:17

Oh that's nice! It's different! It's unusual!

affectionincoldclimate · 28/08/2018 22:26

Do I? I bloody memorised the entire thing back in 2008 when I stumbled across it on late night tv.

I spell over as OVEH and still say noice, unusual, different to often puzzled people.

Geoffrey Rush cameo was gold too.

OctaviaOctober · 28/08/2018 22:49

I've got it on in the background now while I get through my emails.

Best line from episode one? "Kel and I have decided to make our beautiful sensual relationship... a mere formality."

KitschNCabernet · 30/08/2018 19:00

My best line .....”I want to be effluent mum”....”but you are effluent, Kim”. Love a pair of foxy morons!

NellMangel · 30/08/2018 19:04

Hooray! Love them!

EnormousDormouse · 30/08/2018 19:13

'I can't decide what type of wife to be - there's so many - house, trophy, fish...'

OctaviaOctober · 30/08/2018 23:13

They've changed the music on Netflix. It's not quite the same watching Sharon walk away from seeing her boyfriend flirt with the lovely leggy Moira to a sad melody playing instead of "What About Me".

I haven't got to Kel's birthday episode yet. If they've dubbed over the karaoke scenes I'll be bloody gropeable...

Having just joined Netflix, this made me laugh. I watched them the first time in the UK, and now I live here.

I remember saying to my late DH: "Where do they buy those clothes?" "Australia" was the reply. There was also a doc about K&K where the wardrobe buyers had to sneak into shops who had wised up to where K&K "shopped" and were not amused.

Pru and True are so real; not a lot who sound like this, but the faux-posh Aussie accent is spot-on.

StorminaBcup · 14/11/2018 07:31

I LOVE Kath and Kim! My favourite one is the eyes wide shut spoof with Sharon and the cape. Absolute genius writers! So glad this is on Netflix.

SavoyCabbage · 14/11/2018 07:33

I was thinking of Pru and Tru only yesterday when I was in a shopping centre here in the uk and there was a 'House' store and I was dragging in dh yelling 'this is where Pru and Tru work in Australia. We can get a thriw for the coaaawch'.

We didn't though because we have central heating now.

echt · 14/11/2018 07:35

Noice.

TheClitterati · 14/11/2018 22:02

Front pack, back pack, baby packpappose Grin,

I love Kaths Long tongue twisting sentences, and her love of food coloured clothing.

CantstandmLMs · 27/12/2018 19:56

I haven't watched this since it originally aired and I loved it! I own the first two series on dvd but I don't think I watched it all. I am now re-visiting it on Netflix and love it 😂

Dowser · 16/12/2020 00:10

This is just fabulous.
Takes my mind off what’s going on in the world

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 06/01/2021 08:30

Some of the best tv ever! And actually when you think how old it was, it was ahead of its time I think, had a slight "fly on the wall", mockumentary feel going on which is very popular now.

My mum had a perm and dressed a bit like Kath in the late 80s/early 90s Confused

SophocIestheFox · 10/01/2021 15:36

So many lines that I use in everyday life Grin

A threw for my caaarch
It’s not bush week!
He’s a pants man
What does that Pacifically entail?
What’s he come as?

God, I love it, it’s my comfort watch. Might go and pop an episode on to cheer up Sunday afternoon.

BuntysTwinkle · 10/01/2021 18:43

The problem with loving Kath and Kim-speak is that it can accidentally come out when you don't mean it to. At a pub lunch - quite a while ago - I asked for a ham and cheese piñata... I could hear the waitress laughing as she walked away Blush
