Problems

Sam Simmons is a very clever comedian. He looks like he's from a 70s cop show, but he is a very quick witted man. This comedy is ahead of it's time, and has somehow faded into obscurity. Clearly a low budget show, but some heart has gone into even the less good skits/songs. The 2 old guys sat on the lawn are are especially funny, clearly a lot of their banter is ad-libbed. You Aussies have a very funny man in Sam Simmons, right now he works mainly here in uk, because let's face it we have good comedy producers that know good talent. Not Mainstream funny, but cool witty absurd funny.

This is almost a direct copy of 15 Storeys High by Sean Lock.... In fact I know it is a copy... But it's still excellent and very funny.

I don't know why this is getting such a low rating. It's just the right kind of weird for my sense of humour.

The show is basically a series of skits, all focusing on the antics of eccentric, but somehow believable characters in the outer suburbs. Apparently filmed in Melbourne, but it could be the outer burbs of any Australian city really.

Sam Simmons really shines in this. Not wishing to pigeon hole the guy, but I actually think his skit characters are a bit funnier than his stand up. Something he would have in common with John Cleese, is that his face is much funnier in close up.

Great to see Anthony Morgan in there as well. He's a good comedian, and there just isn't enough of him on tele.

I hope they do another season. Again, I enjoyed it. But going by the user ratings, perhaps it's a little too out there for some.

I stumbled across this on UK TV and immediately loved it! the intensity of Sam Simon's performance of the main character drives the ridiculous story lines forward brilliantly.

He shows the intense anger we all feel for such small events but don't release, it makes me wonder what kind of world we would live in if we didn't filter out our immediate true feelings.

Looking around it looks like this hasn't made it past 4 shows which is a real shame, hopefully someone will see sense and throw some money at him to make more!

Great show from Oz. Found it randomly on UKTVPLAY which is a site I also found randomly so I'm double lucky. Only 4 shows each 20 odd minutes long from 2012. The moths do some great acting I thought. Thanks Sam. There's not much more I wanted to say. IMDb insist that if I'm going to write about something on here it better contain a minimum amount of lines. I'm fortunate enough to have visited Australia about 15 years ago and they really do like 'the Bill' (as Sam mentions when he sees the kid with the lion face) it was very popular. We might think that's weird but they wonder why we like Neighbours and Home&away. blah blah
