studying australian television culture: kath & kim

Kath & Kim is a Logie Award-winning character-driven Australian television comedy series, created by Jane Turner and Gina Riley. It is about the family matters and relationships of the title characters, a dysfunctional mother and daughter.

Kath & Kim stars Jane Turner as Kath Day-Knight, a cheerful 50-something divorcee currently in a happy relationship with her fiancé (and then husband), the prissy Kel Knight. She deals with her spoilt, ever complaining, 20-something daughter Kim Craig; Kim's unlucky second-best friend, neighbourhood girl Sharon Strzelecki; Kim's estranged husband Brett Craig; and their baby daughter Epponnee Rae Craig. The show is well known for Kath's catchphrase, "look at moiye!". The series is set in the fictional suburb of Fountain Lakes, in Melbourne, Victoria, but is primarily filmed in Patterson Lakes, Melbourne.[1]
