America is getting it’s very own version of the famous Australian comedy, sitcom, Kath & Kim (Thanks for the tip on the video, Marlon).
Can I be excited about this? If I get excited about this am I only going to be let down? I really have a thing for Selma Blair. Remember when she had huge titties?
That was probably her best role ever, even better than when she was some sort of quiet, reflective superhero in Hellboy with powers that were basically just a strange rip off of Jubilee’s from X-Men.
I also really love Molly Shannon. Superstar was a really good movie. No joke, I honestly think it was. It may have helped that I was drunk when I saw it. I also think John Michael Higgins perhaps one of the funniest people on TV these days.
So am I setting myself up for a disappointment if I am hoping this might fill the post Arrested Development comedic void on network television? Probably. But I am willing to take the risk.

Oh come on now, Selma Blair’s character in Hellboy was the equivalent of the X-Men supervillain Pyro. Jubilee basically had sparklers in her fingertips, which is so far from bad-ass.

Selma Blair is soooo boring.
Molly Shannon, on the other hand, is someone who I can’t believe has “made it.” She’s so funny, but in such a bizarre, niche-y way. The fact that Mary Katherine Gallagher connected with people is a testament to America’s sense of humor.
Also, watch “Year of the Dog.” Prepare to cry.
