Below is a selection of single episodes from other series.



Auckland Daze
I missed the first series, but this is first episode of series two of a sitcom from New Zealand which, after watching this blind, seems to be based around the acting scene in Auckland. It's a bit disjointed and odd at points, but there are some pretty good sketches.

country = New Zealand

rating - worth a watch


Best Bits
The first impression is that this is simlar in approach to 'Harry Hill's TV Burp', but the latter part of this first episode focused on a New Zealand tv celeb being grilled/roasted. Not a bad combination at all.

country = New Zealand

rating - promising


Package Deal
This is a new Canadian sitcom. And, going by this pilot, it appears to be utterly without nuance or awareness that this form of sitcom is so far beyond naff that even Cannon and Ball would be critical.

country = Canada

rating - shite


Leongatha
Seemingly this is made by a local community TV station. If that is the case ,then well done them - it's worth the watch for sure. Some of the audio editing is a bit lax between cut scenes, but apart from that it's a good bit better than most new sitcoms.

country = Australia

rating - good


Dirty Laundry
Episode 11 of a new panel show where the participants talk about the week's news.

country = Australa

rating - not bad


Housos
This is the first episode of series two of Housos. In my eyes it's cheap shite that plays purely on the arrogance of upwardly mobile pricks who think that the lower-classes are just scum. It's kind of like Shameless, but done from the point of view of a Nazi propagandist.

country = Australia

rating - cuntishness


Upper Middle Bogan
Not exactly the most original idea for a sitcom (you'll see when you watch), but down-to-earth and well produced.

country = Australia

rating - promising for sure


Super City
Madeleine Sami plays different characters in each episode of this pretty good show, in a similar vein to "Coogan's Run" or "That Peter Kay Thing".

country = New Zealand

rating - pretty good


This Week Live
This is along the lines of "10 O'Clock Live". The baldy fecker is probably the best part of the team...

country = Australia

rating - pretty good

The Hamster Decides
With the Australian general election coming up in about 4 weeks, The Hamster Decides is a satirical look at what's going on during the campaigns.

country = Australia

rating - good

It's A Date
Relationship comedy isn't usually this much fun. It's had me bursting out laughing a few times in this first episode.

country = Australia

rating - great so far

Slide Show
This appears to be a Saturday evening game show. The contestants are comedians and the games are similar to a mixture of Whose Line and Total Wipeout.

country = Australia

rating - funny, daft slapstick

The Rick Mercer Report
This first episode of the new series seems to be focusing more on filmed expeditions, but in earlier series there was a lot more genuinely biting satire and interviews. Here's hoping the rest of this series improves.

country = Canada

rating - entertaining enough, but hoping for better

Audrey's Kitchen
This is the whole first series - made up of 10x3 minute episodes. Audrey reminds me somewhat of a female Alan Partridge - barely holding onto reality...

country = Australia

rating - funny
