Well ok there's some seriousness in S.Mouse in the same way there's nutrition in a mars bar.

The intention's there. Whether or not it works is a different matter. Although I'm not going to argue with you about this, Soots.
I think that the Jen Okazaku story is going to get darker. The pressure that she is putting on her son will reach breaking point and I think that could go in a sad direction.
Similarly, there are sad times ahead for Gran.

I like you beating me in arguments it turns me on. It's as close as I'll get to you beating me with a riding crop and a copy of the Daily Mail. Which I'd prefer.
Surprisingly honest, though I may stop arguing with you now.
Chris Lilley is just brilliant. He writes so uniquely and beautifully, that after some episodes I find myself just sitting back in awe of the emotions he has managed to make his audience feel. If you don't know what I mean yet just carry on watching and you'll see as the series progresses it's not just a bold comedy, it really does trigger a variety of emotions and this is down to the extensive research Lilley puts in, and the remarkable portrayals of his characters. His work is a real breath of fresh air, not just 30 minutes crammed full of offensive drabble with joke after joke.

At least someone feels that way I suppose. I don't, but at least someone does.
This program must be funny if you're either Australian or 14 years old. Btw why is the bbc promoting this bad show so much?
You don't have to be Australian to like this, I'm not sure about 14 year olds liking this although it could be true. Lord knows who these people on the internet really are, they could all be 14 year olds 
As for your quuestion dasden, I can't tell you but I guess like many other shows it is because a substantial amount of people like it.
A disappointing episode without a single memorable moment. This is proving to be a very topsyturvy series.
I predicted and didn't bother watching it.

Bully for you.
Things are getting really sad for Gran. In other news, Daniel said that he had got replies from Blake and Tim saying that they would attend Nathan's party - and S.Mouse has just found out about it. I wonder whether we really will see all of the characters converge on the little town of Dunt.
I recently realised that during the twin scenes, I never think about how it must have been filmed, and how he acted both parts, I just totally believe they are 2 separate people. Quite impressive really.
I'm really enjoying this series. Watched it from the first one and felt that it went a bit 'meh' around eps 4-5 but now its back on form. Yeah, it ain't a laugh-athon but the performances of Chris Lilley are exceptional.
I'm slightly disappointed that bbc3 aren't showing 2 episodes back to back anymore. I found a whole hour with the characters a totally immersive and believable experience.
A question for any other fans of this is: What is the connection between Dan/NATHAN! and Tim Okazaki? All the other characters appear on The Wall of Legends (not Gran obviously, although she is a definite ledge) but I haven't seen any of Tim up there. I wouldn't think Dan would have a Gay Style! skateboarder on his wall given the characters views, or expressed opinions on homosexuality.
I thought I saw him on the wall in one of the first episodes. Maybe Nathan's wall, as he doesn't go around calling everyone a fag.
