get ready…
Already a sensation in Australia, Summer Heights High is a look at high-school life, focusing on three characters: Mr. G, a self-important, high-strung drama teacher; Ja’mie, a haughty, private-school female exchange student spending the year at Summer Heights High; and Jonah, a delinquent, break-dancing obsessed student struggling to stay in school. Series creator and writer Chris Lilley plays all three lead roles. (from today’s HBO Press Release)

Premiering on HBO in June.
The best part of SHH was that ABC (the Australian Broadcasting Corporation) released each episode as a video podcast the day after it was broadcast on Australian television. I have all 8 episodes on my iPod right now and they aren’t going anywhere. The show is FANTASTIC. Sometimes when I’m down I’ll watch Mr G and my mood picks right up. American viewers won’t be disappointed.
