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.

Hollywood Ending
(2002)
Funniest Woody since 'Bullets over Broadway'
27 July 2004
This is easily Woody's funniest since 'Bullets over Broadway' (1994), and his warmest film since then, as well. It's also his best film since at least 'Sweet and Lowdown' (1999), with excellent performances from Woody (who's frankly been coasting in many of his recent films) as well as Tea Leoni and Mark Rydell as his agent Al. It could have done with some more biting stuff about Hollywood, and it runs too long by about 20 minutes, but it's a lot of fun and well worth seeing. I'm looking forward now to 'Anything Else', which I still haven't seen. Hopefully, this signals an upturn in the quality of Woody's films. I was getting very nervous there for a while with crap like 'Small Time Crooks' and 'Curse of the Jade Scorpion'.
