The funniest and most clever show on television

I am so glad that this show has been remade with Molly Shannon and Selma Blair, the writing is subtle and genius and both actresses nail every moment they are on screen. I really hope this show stays on air, I love it! Their mother/ daughter dynamic is so refreshing and funny. Kath and Kim is a breath of fresh air in lineup that contains way too many murder and detective shows, making me glad that I am in America and able to watch this show. Kath and Kim deliver non stop laughs and interesting takes on what society has become today and it shames me about how much I see of my mother and I in this show. The show is worth watching Selma scarf down all the doritos many people would eat in a month in one scene and their fashion is laughable.
