There's a new NBC show that's beginning to grow on me: Kath & Kim. The show's actually an American version of an Australian show. It's about a 40ish, single mom (Molly Shannon) and her 20-something daughter (Selma Blair) who are obsessed with celebrities, shopping at the local mall and love-life drama.
Kath is engaged to Phil Knight, played by John Michael Higgins (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind). He's a corny guy who owns Sandwich Island in Kath & Kim's local mall. Left at the alter 3 times, he's reluctant to have a big, elaborate wedding. Sadly Kath wants a big blowout, complete with a pumpkin carriage she saw at a parade.
For me, the show's like a bowl of Halloween candy. Not nutritionally satisfying, but you just can't stop reaching for more.
Here's one of my favorite quotes:
Phil to Kath:
"Sugar pie, if you want a fairy tale wedding, I'll give you the fairiest tale wedding there ever was!"
Tune in sometime, but be warned. It may take an episode or two for it to grow on you.
