While I was at the NBC Universal Press Tour I sat in on the Kath & Kim press session and I really can't wait for the show. I think that critics are over thinking the show and are being too harsh. Selma Blair, Molly Shannon, John Michael Higgins and Mikey Day were hysterical and are celebrating their new show (as they should be). One question that made me laugh out loud at was when a reporter asked Selma, "how many wigs do you get?" Selma just responded, I had extensions during the pilot, but could there really be a more boring question? I laughed so hard because it REALLY was such a boring and ridiculous question (in the scheme of where we were)....then Selma proceeded to talk about how she has a forehead of a monkey and everyone has either the forehead of a rat or a monkey. It was an amazing tangent that really made me laugh, but I'm sure pissed off the reporters taking their jobs too seriously.

The Executive Producer, Michelle Nader, said they're doing a lot of re-shoots and are currently in the middle of production with the blessings of Jane and Gina (the original Kath & Kim as they have some input on the U.S. series). The panel ended with Selma saying, "Someone called me and asked me why I don't love Australia...I don't know why they said that because I LOVE AUSTRALIA." Then everyone responded with, "we love Australia." So there you have it. The new cast loves Australia, and they love the original Kath & Kim...now all they have to do is make it funny which I'm sure they will.
