Australia's No. 1 situation comedy, "Kath & Kim," makes the jump to American television with its debut at 7:30 tonight on NBC.
The series follows Kath, a middle-age divorcée whose grown daughter, Kim, moves back in with Mom after leaving her husband.
While the original series takes place in Melbourne, the American version is set in Florida. It stars former "Saturday Night Live" player Molly Shannon as Kath and "Hellboy" starlet Selma Blair as Kim.
Shows such as "Arrested Development" and "Married With Children" have shown us that family dysfunction can be hilarious. We're eager to see how this one plays out.
