In Part 2 of my week visiting with Liza, I've had the opportunity to see her new favorite tv show: Summer Heights High. She brought over the DVD last night and now it is my new favorite tv show. Too bad it might not get picked up for a second season :( Apparently American audiences don't respond well to Australia-specific race issues and some of the more offensive humor bits (for example, half of Mr. G's jokes are based on him being real effeminate; they make rape jokes; there's other stuff etc. etc. sorta boring "controversy"). It could also have to do with the fact that we've had our share of reality-inspired sitcoms. OR actually, I just found out that there just wasn't enough material to stretch over more than 1 season. Whatev though!
It is like The Office except it's Australian and takes place at a high school. For the most part, it's really funny although a lot of it was just more entertaining than anything else. Like one character's graffiti tag is a picture of a penis and then "tation," like "dictation," and it's funny at first and then just ehhh. I think I like Ja'mie best. When she says "public school is so random!" I especially love it--he totally nails that type of girl (I didn't want to mention it at the time but Liza herself used to be very much like that). Anyway, here it is.
Mr. G is their drama teacher.
Like I said, Ja'mie is the best!
