Title: Summer Heights High
Post by: nickclone on Saturday, November 22, 2008, 07:53:23 PM

I can't say much about this show (thats only on HBO), but its a documentary that you should all get a kick out of. Its about a high school somewhere in Australia...just go watch it.

Then download a couple episodes, I really can't say too much because it'll ruin it. You guys will just have to trust me on this one.

I find made-for-cable shows all push the decency envelope as far as possible, I think to get a competitive advantage over the heavily censored traditional networks.  It gets old fast, because after a while, it seems that's all they want to portray.  Californication had a chance of being a good show, but it too fell victim to this.  So I don't go out of my way to see shows made for cable.  I can just imagine what that SHH is like.

Funny, that's why I always found them kind of unattractive, I think.  It's sort of the weird thing you can't put your finger on, but I guess maybe you just did.

well, summer heights high is hardly all that grotesque. i personally thought it was pretty shitty, however. californication, on the other hand, i absolutely love. yes, there's nudity and swearing, but given the lifestyle being portrayed, there's bound to be. a life of getting loaded and laid is never going to look like barney's magical fairytime adventure..

it's okay. we all hate ourselves too - just not quite as much as we hate you.

seriously though - documentary? why would you even say that? it's not as if any fucker here would ever believe that. was that some big plot revelation for you or something?

Its described as a doc, so for maybe...just for a split second, people might have thought that for a fucking second. Thanks for the buzzkill, asshole.

SHH (on HBO) is funny stuff, here and there.
