She is a sh*t actor. It's too polished! They're not rough enough, they have them far too middleclass for my liking! I wonder if they'll do the same storylines. The first episode looks identical (except they are sh*t actors) don't like the names of the kids either. Hope BLEAH

Its not a rip-off - the writers will have sold it and made mega bucks for it!!! Regardless of whether they make a bollocks up of the "production" of it, its a fantastic testament to the amazing talented writers / creaters that we have in NZ.

This is true, nice work NZ 
BTW I don't see it as a rip-off in a monetary sense.. but I think of all the other overseas shows they have tried to imitate for the US audience and ruined.. Kath and Kim is another recent one..
In saying that, The Office is cool

It looks completely ridiculous - I agree, too polished and the twins? C'mon, make the 'Van' character look believable instead of Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire.
And you can guarantee that the language won't be as bad as OF. It's just.......
WRONG!!!

Maybe if it becomes a hit and fan pages get made we should post videos of the REAL programme and show how good it really is!

Oh dear, pretty lame. It's such a kiwi show, I don't think they could have made US audiences understand it without bastardising it completely . Oh well, score for the creators (I figure they must have made some good money selling it?)

I love Virginia Madsen, and I'm surprised to see her in something like that. Also is the blonde girl "Sloane" from Greys?
It looks pretty bad though.

Really interesting to see what they have done with the scripts, the family don't seem anywhere near trashy enough.
The scripts where sold to the US and the UK the UK's version is called honest found some youtube clips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaU82lIE1JI

Sorry I don't know how to do the linky things, the UK version seems a little more "right" to me.
