Get Krack!n

It's not the funniest show on television, but it's also better than a lot of other junk with laugh tracks like Big Bang Theory.

I think a lot of people misinterpret the type of parody this is supposed to be. It's supposed to be over-the-top, hammed-up parody that looks staged and forced. It's supposed to be a bad parody. It's supposed to be a bad representation of morning television in the eyes of those who are too busy to watch morning television.

Don't approach it like a traditional parody or a tradition sketch comedy and you'll be entertained.

Having said that, the show doesn't have a long life and a lot of the material is repeated in similar ways. No surprises it's only lasted 2 years.

It's not the type I'd go back and watch, nor did I make time to watch it, but it was a light-hearted 30mins of entertainment to pass the time.

Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan clawed their way to national attention largely through the unprecedented word-of-mouth success of their web- based The Katering Show. If this follow-up project is any indication, their ultimate goal in this enterprise was to eventually squander that goodwill through an ill-conceived and unpleasant "satire" of media values.

Even accounting for difficulty in adapting to a half-hour format, the hit-and-miss results of Get Krack!n might be considered charming if the duo hadn't decided to adopt an incessantly preaching tone throughout. In the place of disarming humour, each episode is dominated sour judgments of predictable PC targets, often delivered sneeringly directly to camera. The overall effect is nasty and unredeeming.

Just stumbled on this amazing gem and what can I say I just fell in love with those two funny ladies. Absurd, funny and relevant they will brighten the darkest day with their unique spin on daily topics. To me, they are the Aussie Patsy and Edwina! I wish they could tackle even more topics in an hour show. To all the haters ... You just don't have a funny bone in you or are just to dumb to understand their sophisticated smart funny sass!

This was on the telly after the show I was watching but I couldn't change the channel cause I lost the remote so I turned the telly off at the wall.

I read the reviews here when deciding whether or not to give this a try, and I came to the conclusion that I had to see for myself what was going on. I'm glad I did.

Maybe it's because I went in thinking that it might be horrible that I was so relieved it was the opposite. More or less pretty funny throughout, with moments of genius and rarely, maybe a few jokes per episode that would drag on 20 seconds too long. There are also stupid jokes, which I would normally despise, but I tend to find them funny in this. I guess they're doing them better. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about. So if you're worried about perspective, I'm male, I'm straight, and I have fairly high standards for comedy and I'm looking forward to watching the other half of the episodes!

I can only reason two theories about the wildly negative reviews; 1) They are planted to make you want to check for yourself and go in with low expectations, or 2) Some people actually believe what they see on TV is real - a thought which is absolutely terrifying...

Oh I also had to rewind fairly often so I could read the screen captions, because usually when I do it's worth it.
