Zap2it Fall TV Preview 2008: NBC's New Shows

Kath & Kim (NBC)
Comedy

Premieres: Thursday, Oct. 9

Premise: Based on the Australian comedy series. A self-absorbed young woman separates from her husband and moves back home with her divorced mother, who is herself discovering that life doesn't stop at 40.

First Impressions: It looks a little less big and broad than the Aussie show and may be going for more of an "Arrested Development" sort of vibe. That's a pretty high bar to set, though.

Stars: Molly Shannon ("Saturday Night Live"), Selma Blair ("Hellboy"), John Michael Higgins ("The Break-Up"), Mikey Day ("The Underground")

Studio: Unviersal Media Studios and Reveille

Producers: Michelle Nader ("The King of Queens"), Gina Riley, Jane Turner, Rick McKenna
