Exciting news for both fans of
Summer Heights High and men dressing as multiple characters in general! HBO is helping to launch a new
Chris Lilley project called
Angry Boys, set to begin production this month.
I've seen some of Lilley's other work and, while it's intriguing, none of it has been quite as amazing as the sheer ridiculousness that was
Summer Heights High. It became a phenomenon on the Internet and found a good deal of success when it finally came to the States via HBO.

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.Let's do something different this week. Which of these DVDs do you plan on buying? Let us know in the comments section.
I can't imagine buying any of these shows. The only two I might be interested in are
Just Shoot Me (though I think it's one of those shows I'm happy just to see in reruns and not actually own) and
Make Room For Daddy. But I would buy that just because it's a classic show, not because it's one of my favorites. It's one of those classic shows that I just never got into, unlike
I Love Lucy or
The Dick Van Dyke Show or
The Honeymooners.

BEST
Summer Heights High: Including this Australian show from 2007 is only kind of, sort of cheating because it premiered in America (HBO) this year. Ha! Loophole! Anyway, this show was a great discovery and it's worth a look if you're into mockumentaries. Chris Lilley's performance(s) were hilarious and I am not ashamed to admit I still get "Naughty Girl" stuck in my head every once in a while.
