Kath & Kim: see the US foxy ladies in action!

, Prev Next Here it is, folks, the first footage of Molly Shannon and Selma Blair in action as Kath and Kim:

Thoughts? My immediate reaction is that Molly Shannon has Jane Turner's Kath-walk down pat, and that John Michael Higgins seems like an ideal stand-in for Glenn Robbins.

But I still have issues with Selma Blair's Kim - she just doesn't seem slobby, horrible and pudgy enough to play the Kim us Aussies have come to know and love. And while her hubby, played by Mikey Day, is more handsome than Australia's Peter Rowsthorn, he seems much less desperate and pathetic!

But the big question is: where's Sharon?! Magda Szubanski's much-loved character has been renamed "Heather" for the American version of the series... but she's nowhere to be seen!

Not that I think the US adaptation is a hopeless cause. This pic of "wine time" is so Kath & Kim:

What do you think of the American Kath and Kim?

watched this, for like 3 minutes and my mind was already set. (ITS PATHETIC) Our Kath and KIm was funny, it had ***, and this one their attitudes aren't funny, there clothes aren't funny, AND OVER ALL THEY AREN'T FUNNY!
you are cool and you are best
Dude these american ppls so dont fit the part for kath n kim. i mean kim should be fat n kath should be old (n have curly hair) duhh.and i cant believe they dont have sharron! that is total BULL TWANG.i realz misss the TRUE kath n kim. coz no Aussie doznt like a true Aussie show.
I know for a fact how hard you women worked to get this show sold and broadcasted in the States...I had no idea that you didn't have any artistic control over the production. They should have asked Sharon...oops, thats right, she don't exist huh!!!
This is the stupidest thing ever... They don't even look anything like Kath and Kim! Kath should be old and have curly hair and Kim should be fat!!! I don't agree with America making a Kath and Kim because the show "Kath and Kim" is an Australian thing... it's like America making another vegemite and calling it "Vegemite, US style" **NOT GUNNA HAPPEN**
sorry to say but they will never ever be kath and kim!!! Kath and Kim are only supposed to be true blue aussies !!! america should make there on blooming shows!!!!! GO THE ORIGINAL HORNBAGS!
When ever we watch american shows they are still american actors, so why couldn't they just watch the australian version. but oh well...it happens
Lame, lame, lame. And so not funny! Selma is too thin for starters. However, love to hear how they attempt 'looik at moi'. That could be worth watching an episode for!
kim's skinny, and pretty and so... not kim! well, actually we steal a lot of american shows and they end up being really bad, so it's their turn.
I think its lame. Kath and Kim will never be the same XD Our Kath And Kim is 10 times better than theirs. and well where is sharron? shes the best part of the show. lol.
