message: "I couldn't care more about what mum is doing, and I most certainly couldn't care less"
1. This is an incorrect subtitle, it is "I couldn't care more about mum's final floral design piece, I certainly couldn't care less", it says above that it is used frequently, this is not correct it is only used once throughout the whole series, I have removed it because of it being incorrect Thomass 28 23:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Speech

message: In the Sunday Herald Sun on October 16, 2006, on page 21, there is an article which says that one of the comedians from Little Britain, Matt Lucas, will be a guest star on Kath and Kim. Here is half of the article word for word:
It will be Australiana verses Little Britain when UK comedian Matt Lucas films a guest spot on the comedy Kath & Kim next year.
The bald actor, one half of the hit comedy duo with partner and friend David Walliams, is bringing the live version of the sketch show to Australian on January 22 at Vodafone Arena and will film the scenes before the tour starts.
Lucas said he was unsure of exactly what his part was, but has been a long-time fan of the show and has met it's creators Gina Riley and Jane Turner.
Lucas said "There was some possible suggestion that I would play a member of their family, an english cousin or something."
What do people think about this? It's getting me very excited indeed. --Lakeyboy 04:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Would this mean a 4th season is in the works?

message: It looks like User:RaptorRobot is going flat out creating extra articles (on characters and more, by the looks of the Bret Craig (Kath & Kim) (sic) article.  I have posted a message on his talk page about the poor page naming, but what does everyone else think of these? -- Chuq 07:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I guess it's not that bad, but redlinks such as Fountain Gate Shopping Center in the navbox probably struck a fancruft chord with me :P -- Chuq 11:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it was only a redlink due to use of the American spelling, otherwise we would have got Fountain Gate Shopping Centre. Asa01 00:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Excessive character pages and extra articles 

message: Hi, this article is already very good. I'm just wondering about the spelling of Epponnee-Rae's middle names. Is there an authority for this? I would have expected them to be spelled with an "ene" ending rather than "een", eg. "Darlene" instead of "Darleen". Frickeg 00:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name spelling 

message: Unless the FGSC article can be fleshed out more, it doesn't appear from the article that FGSC is notable by itself, I suggest that that article be merged into this one and a redirect be created from FGSC to this article.  A precedent for this is the redirect from Cicely, Alaska to Northern Exposure.  --Joe Decker 14:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not needed. Fountain Lakes shopping Centre is already noted in the Kath & Kim article as well as the Fountain Gate and Southland shopping centre articles. I'm putting this article up for AFD. --Lakeyboy 05:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Can someone confirm whether the shopping centre in the series is named Fountain Lakes (like their fictional suburb), or Fountain Gate (the name of a real Westfield shopping centre)? --Scott Davis Talk 14:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They call the shopping centre "Fountain Gate" after the real one in Narre Warren but they use both the Fountain Gate and Southland Westfields for filming. --Lakeyboy 11:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a box-set of seasons 1-3 that could have a mentions, also each episode could follow the TV episode template and be bulked out further. A TV infobox could also be added... Peter 09:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll construct a DVD table now. To date, there has been single season DVD's, a 1 & 2 box set, a 1, 2 & 3 box set as well as the "Da Kath & Kim Code" telemovie DVD. I might work on the tv episode templates. Where are the TV episode templates. Can someone please locate them. The infobox is already in place. --Lakeyboy 05:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All DVD releases have now been added to the article in tables. Next on my agenda is episode boxes similar to the ones used in List of Prison Break episodes. --Lakeyboy 11:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Can this be "toned down" a bit please ? i got a pretty big monitor and two DVD releases still tend to fill it up completely. Please look a the table used in for instance List of Smallville episodes. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 20:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone cleanup all the various templates for navboxes of this show and the colors they use in them please ? It's all over the place with yellow, orange and green.

message: is mandy a recurring character since she's been in the show alot this year?
::A bit part snob with no dialogue played by at least two different actors? No she is not really important enough to rate mention on her own, maybe could be mentioned once is reference to Kath and Kel buying her home in one episode. Format (talk) 06:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Forgive me if this has already been discussed, or is mentioned in the article. I was wondering whether the title is a pun on the expression "kith and kin"; is there any evidence of this being the case? Thanks in advance for any responses. Oberschlesien 07:40, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  USA 

message: I was reading through the Kath & Kim article, and I thought that it lacked real information.
I think it may be a good idea to add a Reception/Response section; with info about how the show was received by the viewers, critical reviews, show statistics, the show's place in society, its impact, etcetera. This section may also be merged with the ratings.
A production section would also be good. This could include behind the scenes information, filming locations, etcetera. Basically, any real information.
A place I have found to be a good source of info is the Australian Television Information archive, the Kath & Kim articles section has many old newspaper articles that would have many, many useful facts that could be used in these sections. Plus, there is a good source of references that are also needed for the article.

thread_title:  Article lacks real info 

message: I've done a major cleanup of this article, and have made new articles, expanding sections and added new chapters e.g. the "Characters" section. The only part of the article that deserves significant attention is the "Reaction" section, which could do with a major expansion and a lot more references.Jv821 (talk) 10:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Much needed cleanup 

message: I have Eyreland someone putting allot of information up on the upcoming flop in the American's version. I do agree that something should be placed in the article about it, but this should be a small something, leading to the USA article for more detail. MattyC3350 (talk) 13:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed most content of USA version 

message: I've removed some dubious (and uncited) parts:
* "The strong and intelligent script" - never heard it called that, and much as I love it I'm not sure it's an accurate description.
* Sometimes makes statements about Australian politics - disagree. Any statements I recall are passing, indeed the characters have no idea about politics I'd have thought (in one episode Kath doesn't know the name of the PM). Adpete (talk) 03:32, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest that the gag where Kath doesn't know the name of the PM is totally intended as a political crack (when given the answer she smirks and says "Oh??! Really? I would have got that wrong"). The "bloody Howard" / "well YOU voted for him" episode is full of criticisms of the GST. It ends with "I've got one word to say to you: RECONCILIATION!", another political reference. As the article originally said, the show does sometimes make statements about politics. Melbn (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK I've put the politics comment back. Adpete (talk) 23:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, I don't see any of them as statements about politics, other than stating that people like K&K are utterly clueless about politics. I'd rather it said K&K makes references to Australian politics. Adpete (talk) 23:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
