Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

jasonbourne40 This was a painful example of a cheap, boring and unoriginal show produced by Australian TV stations to fulfil local content quotas. The writing was truly terrible and I'm not surprised that the writers are those responsible for the worst Australian film in recent memory the Honerable Wally Norman.Nothing about this TV series was funny - ever - not even mildly amusing. It was just tired and BAD and, worst of all, it really thought it was funny. It was simply embarrassing to watch.There is something very suss about this show being given 10 out of 10 on IMDb. Try to find a (real) review by a (real) Australian viewer of the show (there weren't many) and it is impossible. Or crazy. There are loafs of bread that are funnier than this show. Avoid the show at all cost and if it does come out on DVD, remember that the laughter THAT deserves was unintentional.

johnjslaven I am surprised to see any negative comments on this excellent show, that was widely hailed on its initial release in 2003 as revitalising the sketch comedy format on Australian TV.The performing and the writing (a lot of the performers have gone on to other notable TV shows and films, including CNNNN) was mostly top notch, and it stayed funny right through its run.My personal favourites were the news, with Lee Lin Chin, and Mr G, which was just brilliant, although there were a lot of other funny characters including Johnny Tapp, that were great.Very strangely, Channel Seven spun the show off into another show that lasted only a few episodes earlier in 2004.I guess we won't see the return of this show now, but a lot of its writers are now on 'Comedy Inc.', which not surprisingly is a lot funnier and cleverer than its first series.I'll never forget this show, and I hope Seven releases it on DVD soon.

paulaschilton I agree with the majority of the comments about this show. It's got some fantastic, funny stuff, and it's a shame the show didn't run longer (Channel Seven spun it off into a terrible show that lasted about 4 episodes). Chris Lilley, whose characters included Mr G and Extreme Darren, got his start on this show, along with Rebecca Deunamuno who's now on CNNN, and Andrew O'Keefe, currently the new star of Channel Seven. I'm surprised with the comment made by the last user. This show is much funnier than Skithouse and the old Comedy Inc. If the new Comedy Inc. series is any good, it's because two of the writers from this show, Angus Fitzsimons and Kevin Brumpton, are the new head writers of Comedy Inc. I agree with the comment by Daz B. This show really will end up a classic. I hope Channel Seven keeps replays it soon.

MichaelaT This new show delivers consistently funny, smart and fresh comedy. The show just gets funnier and stronger week to week. Any comparisons to Comedy Inc and the like are totally useless - The Big Bite boasts a smaller, much more talented cast and incredibly funny gags of every kind from the obviously gifted comedy writing team. There are look-alike jokes (brilliant Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise not to mention Russell Crowe impersonations !), spoofs of well known Australian TV ads and tonnes of new and hilarious skits. The show works really well in its tightly packed half hour episodes - in the few weeks it's been on, it's already established a handful of genius, warm and new comedy characters - Mr. Gee the rock eistedford teacher is a personal favourite.Do yourself a favour and check it out now! It's a half hour gem of comedy.
