Ja'mie Private School Girl

Princess Pictures have yet again produced another series based around the Chris Lilley character, Ja’mie King. The third series is centred around Ja’mie’s final three months of year 12 at the private all girls school, Hillford High. The bitchiness, the stories, the language, the rules, the clichés all are present in this series and the mannerisms are so accurate that it’s scary. The series is highly relatable,moreso than Summer Heights High, due to the fact that I went to an all girls high school and the prestige, assemblys, grovelling and special hierarchy. All on a bigger scale but it was all there and precise. It made me reflect back three years ago to my final year of school and made me laugh so much. Especially when her Mum rocks up at the bustop at 3:07pm and Ja’mie says,

 “I told you 3:10 not 3 fucking 07!”

I remember Dad picking me up from friend’s houses and being a couple of minutes early and I would crack it because he was too early. I could also pick out characters and match them up which is quite sad but you could always pinpoint the popular from the quieter girls. This show is hilarious not only are we laughing at the show but we are laughing at ourselves. Great Stuff Lilley!

Comedy Series

Melbourne has decided to be more winterous this spring than normal, and so, to cope from the depressing news that Sydney is 26 degrees and Queensland is averaging around the 30s there is no better way to survive the dull weekdays and weekends then chucking in a DVD. 

It's been a 'Serie(ous)' few months and I thought that it would be appropriate to share with you some of my favourite light comedy series. From sketch shows to slapstick, from stupidity to parody. Here are some of my favourites that never get old! They may date but that makes it even more entertaining and reminiscent. It doesn't matter if episode 1 or episode 20 is played these shows will not get you lost on the plot and they are so easy to follow.
