Acropolis Now

Best show ever. Effie and that other bloke are soooooooo funny

This is one of the best series i've seen in a long long time

Recently rewatched after seeing Wog Boy 3

Nick, George and Mary are just magnificent in characters that have stood the test of time and will always capture a time in Australian history that many of us remember well!

Unfortunately the supporting cast are, in general, pretty weak and tiresome but thankfully they don't stick around that long. Added to which Season 5 is pitiful - that reduces the overall score for me but it's still incredible to rewatch / watch for the first time.

Effie is - and will always be - a fantastic character depicting a persona in the 80s/ 90s that many of us "Wog chicks" related to. We knew so many who acted like she did and watching those girls pretend to do "an Effie" is something I will forever find hysterical!

I love this show because it is so funny.

I think it is funny how the characters can talk in funny ways.

Sometimes it is also serious, but mostly it is funny.

Classic 80's Australian comedy about the workers of a small Greek restaurant in Melbourne called the "Acropolis Now". This show will crack you up if you understand the lingo used. The story begins when Jim's father leaves to go to Greece after living in Australia for 23 years. When his father leaves, he turns his dad's restaurant into a modern day meeting place for wogs. If you loved The Wog Boy (1999), you'll love "Acropolis Now".
