For every one good foreign show co-opted for American TV (The Office, Queer as Folk, Three’s Company), there’s a barren wasteland of shows that just suck (Coupling, Kath and Kim, Viva Laughlin).

Now FOX has decided to take a show that was pitch perfect, Absolutely Fabulous, and remake it for American TV.

Aussies Have Such Good Taste

The American version of the hit Australian comedy Kath and Kim has been cancelled in Australia and replaced with reruns of the original (much funnier) Kath and Kim.

We love how the Aussies don’t screw around. When something sucks, they don’t waste their time. They were already savvy enough to put viewers out of their misery and cancel 90210, following that with the quick yank of Kath and Kim is refreshingly honest.

Australia, we salute you!

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
