NBC has missed the whole point of what made the original so funny. Two forty plus women dressing up as mother and daughter. That was the joke.
Selma Blair is totally wrong for this. This show will tank.
Who is playing Sharon?
Too bad most Americans will never know how funny the original was.

As an australian who loved the show I’d just like to say that these previews made me cringe. I don’t think our humour (or the type of humour that was part of the show) is going to translate at all. I love Selma Blair and it is painful for me to see her acting this role.

It 'may' be ok in its own right, but the fact its an American version of fantastic Australian show it just misses the whole point and premise.
You wont be able to help but constantly compare the two versions.

Maybe if NBC didnt call it Kath & Kim and didnt promote it as such?
