Talk:Summer Heights High

message: Is it really necessary to have a blow-by-blow description of the ratings? IMHO it really needs to be put in a paragraph highlighting bits (such as Prison Break competition).

replies: text: The article doesn't address the location of the school, only to say it was filmed in Melbourne. Personally, I don't think it's set in Melbourne, but actually somewhere outside Sydney. The reason for this is that Ja'mie lives in Sydney, yet is driven to school by her mum. It's unreasonable to assume that they either a) drive from Sydney to Melbourne every morning! or b) have moved house from Sydney to Melbourne between the time that We Can Be Heroes and SHH occupy (which, since her age hasn't changed, is presumably very little). She also mentions on the phone that to get home, she would have to take the train. She also mentions that they take the freeway to school in the morning. Also, in the final episode, her Hilford friend Brianna shows up sporting the school uniform. All of these things lead me to believe that the school is set somewhere in suburban Sydney, which means that the fact that the staff cars in the car park have Victorian licence plates is simply an anachronism.

Yeah, you're right. He's meant to be 13. --Jezzk (talk) 14:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jonah 15? 

message: I have removed Gareth Chamberlain's edit, which stated:
:However it is becoming increasingly clear that creator Chris Lilley intended to insult certain groups with this series, particularly schoolgirls and the Tongan community.
There is nothing in the cited article that backs-up that claim. It covers the background work Lilley and Ryan Shelton performed to create and develop the characters of the series and We Can Be Heroes: Finding The Australian of the Year.  <B>S<SPAN STYLE="font-size:87%">EO75</SPAN></B> [talk] 13:46, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Also note the final episode in which Lilly goes to the effort of making some pretty potent statements about how some Pacific Islanders may be treated in the Australian education system, through the storyline. Rotovia (talk) 00:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Was it semen on Jonah's tracksuit pants, or just something he placed there to look like semen? 
:In the context of the show, yes it was semen.
: Obviously it was something else - what I am saying is that even in the show, the character put something else there just to create an excuse to draw attention to himself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.209.160.233 (talk) 22:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we know that his allegation was in fact false? It seemed to me to be quite genuine, with Jonah only withdrawing it when his father threatened him. Also, planting a picture alluding to sexual abuse and then playing a victim to the staff seems to require way more cunning than Jonah has in his character. For a guy with no subtle bone in his body it certainly seems like a very elaborate hoax to pull off. 
I did some googling around and opinion seems to be divided on whether it was real or not - perhaps the wikipedia article should mention this apparent ambiguity in its episode summary of Episode 4?58.172.185.40 11:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, this is speculation.  Wikipedia is against original research, so we should keep the facts as it is, because that's how they were presented to us. — *Hippi ippi 12:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

text: It doesn't matter. It is merely a plot characteristic that needs no mention, so far as to whether it was true or not, not without sources. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 12:10, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Remove Tag There is currently a tag to review the use of colloquial terms, however, I would recommend removing it on the grounds that the particular subject matter of the show focuses very heavily on Australian identity. Rotovia (talk) 00:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
