Typical australian surburban comedy with a twist

I started watching this show this week, and I would have to say that it is one of the funniest Australian comedies I have ever seen. The roles of two australian women with bad dictation (especially Kath, played by Jane Turner) makes you want to watch it, and not stop. Sharon (played by Magda Szubanski) makes me laugh so much, I cry (being a male, I hate to admit that, but it's true) Overall, anyone who enjoys a good laugh, and has a wacky sense of humour, watch it, because you won't forget that first time you witnessed this show.
