you should check out this Aussie TV comedy....
Summer Heights High to debut in the US
Americans are about to find out why Australiam comedian Chris Lilley is so popular.
Lilley's Summer Heights High will debut on the HBO channel in the US today.
Major US media outlets Newsweek and the Hollywood Reporter have previewed Lilley's 's eight-part show in which he channels the unruly misfit Jonah, snooty 16-year-old girl Ja'mie, and Mr G, the showoff drama teacher.
The show was a big success when it aired on the ABC in Australia last year.

I used to beg Mum to let me stay up and watch no 96, the few times she said yes, I would fall asleep anyway. I think I only saw the beginning of a few episodes in my whole life.  |

Never watched Prisoner, they didn't show it on tv up here back then. We only had one commercial tv station back then. (It showed a mixture on shows from 10,7 & 9 ).
