Ja'mie: Private School Girl

Too funny it's hysterical ! You'll get a good laugh it's all fun guys !!! :) sad how it didn't go on for so long :( much love.

These spinoffs from the Summer Heights High TV show feature one of the characters in depth rather than switching between them. This gives us more focus but at the expense of wearing the material thin. I think I liked the original format more because it kept things fresh. Still, I think that Ja'mie had a better spinoff than Jonah as she is more interesting and there is more that can be done with her character.

I have seen some ordinary reviews for Ja'mie ( added the apostrophe in year 8 ) - but guess they must be from people who take the whole set-up seriously and can't get their head round a middle aged comedian doing a wonderful job as an over-the-top snobby head girl ! Benny Hill did some similar skits years ago ; that likewise were very funny ; Ja'mie is a combination of slap-stick - Dame Edna, over-the-top great Aussie humour taking a wonderful swipe at many of the US college type shows were the spiteful blonde beauty loses her boyfriend to the plain new girl who turns out to be a glamour. This is a show that aging dad ( me ) and teen daughter both love and has us both cracking up in parts. e.g. The flat chested Ja'mie on being targeted by some more developed 'borders' at the school ; "Why don't you go cook your dinner, I bet your having Lesbianese"

Binge-watched it three times back-to-back. I don't know how Chris Lilley can manage a straight enough face to carry this off; but he does.

Chris Lilley is very reliable when counting on someone to produce a great comedy. Personally, Ja'mie's character portrays the stereotypes associated with spoilt teenage girls and gives the audience such a good laugh. Well done Chris Lilley!
