Kath & Kim is an Australian television comedy series that follows the lives of a dysfunctional mother-daughter duo, Kath and Kim, and their friends and family members. The show, which aired from 2002 to 2007 on the Seven Network, features a star-studded cast including Jane Turner, Gina Riley, Magda Szubanski, Peter Rowsthorn, and Glenn Robbins.
The series is set in the outer suburban area of Melbourne, where Kath works as a department store employee, and Kim is a lazy, spoiled daughter who is always trying to find new ways to get rich quick. Kath is a devoted mother who tries to be the best role model for her daughter, but her efforts often backfire. Kim, on the other hand, is vain and self-absorbed, and constantly seeking attention from her mother and friends.
The show focuses on the everyday struggles and misadventures of Kath and Kim, such as Kim's attempts to land a rich husband, Kath's uneasy relationship with her second husband, and their frequent misunderstandings and communication breakdowns. The show also features the comic misadventures of their friends and family members, including Sharon Strezlecki, a lovable but somewhat clumsy friend of Kim's, and Brett Craig, Kath's ex-husband and a hapless real estate agent.
Kath & Kim is known for its witty and irreverent humor, which is a mix of satire, sarcasm, and slapstick comedy. The show's creators, Jane Turner and Gina Riley, are skilled at poking fun at Australian suburban life, with its obsession with consumerism, materialism, and the pursuit of fame and fortune. The show also makes clever use of catchphrases and clich
