What a waste of my time!!!

The Worst Film Ever

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Maybe it's just that Aussie girls love Aussie shows, but this is one of my favorites! I watched every episode, and sometimes I even watch the midday repeats.Yes, some of the acting was a bit dodgy, but don't you love the teens?! All the awkward moments were hilarious, and the comments were perfect... exactly what you would say in the situation, only funnier!I reckon it's a must see!I just have one question though... what's the name of the gay guy that Pip falls in love with? It's been bugging me for ages. He was my favorite character. There were moments when I just cringed with embarrassment for both Pip and the guy. So... who's the mystery man? Please tell... I must know!

Why isn't this on DVD or, more importantly, still running? I loved the premise for the plot as well as the character development. The adjustments both families had to make in the city/country were well done. The bluntness of the characters with regard to each other and to life kept the show from seeming like a sit-com or "TV drama". There was no hiding behind the comforts of patterned living - which I think is the point of the plot. Also, since it was on public TV, there were no commercials, and it was on longer than 30 minutes. It also didn't contain any obnoxious wish-wash of romance. If it was there, it was true-to-life. I am not familiar with the actors involved in this show, but I did think they worked well together to create a convincing cast. Sure wish there was another show like this out there.

I love Always Greener, it's one of the better Australian shows out there. I would highly recommend it because it appeals to such a wide variety of audiences. The 2 families with teenage children going through what most families go through. (with a bit of tv drama type stuff added in)The best part of the show is how it's structured. It's got that (i know its unoriginal but it's great) Ally McBeal type, 'this is what I'm thinking is happening' thing. To sum up it gets the best bits of popular shows and adapts them to suit the style of the show. With original story lines, it's definately worth watching. purplebuggy2001 :)

I must admit that when Always Greener was first advertised, I told myself that I wouldn't watch the show, fearing another "SeaChange" rip-off. But alas, I watched the first episode and was pleasantly surprised. My expectations were disproved.The cast is great, featuring some new talent as well as mature actors like John Howard and the delightful Anne Tenney. The characters are real, and the storylines are involving. But what makes "Always Greener" a truly great show is the equal mix of typically Australian comedy and serious drama.Overall, "Always Greener" is a brilliant local production and I look forward to future episodes!
