'Kath & Kim' gets full-season order

Categories: TV Biz

It's hardly attracting the masses--it's barely even cracking the top 50--but Kath & Kim is here to stay, at least for the season. NBC announced that it has picked up the back nine episodes of the comedy that stars Molly Shannon and Selma Blair as an eccentric mother-daughter duo. After four weeks, the comedy has held onto 100 percent of its adults 18-49 lead-in from My Name is Earl (2.6 rating/6 share) and is averaging 6 million viewers.

NBC has already ordered a full season of Knight Rider, the kitchy redux of the '80s drama. It has averaged 7.4 million viewers. The net has yet to announce, however, whether it will pick up the back nine episodes of My Own Worst Enemy starring Christian Slater. The drama has only averaged 6.5 million viewers and is ranked No. 63, but that's still better than Kath & Kim, which is ranked No. 65.

Am I the only one enjoying this show? I think it is quite funny. Kath and Phil crack me up. The whole setting seems like the 80s to me, especially the wardrobe.

Bill Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 11:52 AM EST

Kath and Kim must be cheaper to make than My Own Worst Enemy. It is the only explanation. Better actors, better writing, more plot, better ratings. But it probably costs more to have four - six major actors on board. Too bad. I like Molly Shannon, but this show gotta go.

Delon Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 04:30 PM EST

Selma Blair is ruining this show. She is just downright awful!

Marie Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 06:46 AM EST

i have no idea why they would want to complete a season of such a bad show. the original (and actually funny) australian version is so so much better. its a shame americans wouldn't get the humour.

Amy Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 01:04 PM EST

I really wanted to like this show, but it's just bad. I can't believe they ordered more.

Alan Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:30 PM EST

I'm so disappointed by Kath & Kim. I love Molly Shannon, I've always been a big fan of her comedic skills and she still makes me laugh very occasionally on K&K. But the daughter role, Selma Blair, is terrible, she is totally miscast. I am so angry at how they ruined their chance to remake such a hit Australian show! I really want to love this show, but it's not funny. I'm trying desperately to find humour in each episode!

Tim Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 11:59 AM EST

What a disappointment Kath & Kim was! Completely unfunny. A total waste of Molly Shannon.

Aussie Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 09:09 AM EST

As an aussie, I'm so embarrassed by this show. The producers have taken an exceptional show and hacked it apart. The australian version is much funnier mainly because it pokes fun at ourselves. Did you know that the aussie show is completely unscripted - only the basic story worked out prior. I cant imagine Selmar and Molly being able to do that. I have heard that they had to create an American version because there were to many references to the australian way of life that americans just wouldn't get.

pity you cant come up with your own comedy - you had to steal our idea.

Ben Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 08:52 AM EST

Kath&Kim blows. They should spend the money on My Own Worst Enemy. That is a very well done show.

becca Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:53 AM EST

I love Kath & Kim and I'm glad that it is on for another season. I'm sorry, but Scrubs and Pushing Daisies both are horrible shows.

Jesse Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 11:58 PM EST

Once again, NBC shows that ratings don't really matter to them. Though I shouldn't complain, NBC not caring about ratings saved fantastic shows like 30 Rock. But Kath and Kim is just terrible. Surely they have something better to air. I really hope ABC brings Scrubs back in the Thursday 8:30 timeslot, just so I have something to watch.

amy Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 10:25 PM EST

I agree...selma blair is terrible. she is what makes the show unwatchable.

Raven_Moon Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 06:52 PM EST

Yuck! Why can't they just cancel it & have super-sized episodes of "The Office"? Not that, I would watch.

Marci Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 06:19 PM EST

I really wanted to like this show and was really looking forward to it. The first episode didn't exactly bowl me over but I thought "well, it's the pilot. There always kinks that need to be worked out in the pilot." So, I watched 2 more episodes...but it never got better. I gave up on it. Even though I wanted to like it. I still want to like it, but it's just...not funny.

DragonKaty Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 04:46 PM EST

How can crap like that get a full order and a wonderful program like Pushing Daisies still hasn't? (Yes, I do know that it is on a differnt network).

Makes me wonder about TV execs...

ksty Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 03:38 PM EST

WHY?! the show is not funny in any way.

Jimmy Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 03:32 PM EST

I really wanted to like this show, but Selma Blair's character is so completely unlikable!

Kara Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 02:56 PM EST

Yay! i love kath and kim! What the bedazzle?!
