    @kiwiwomble well in the late 70s my great grandfather owned a pub in Pukekohe somewhere, and at the time the distillery was still owned by Ballantines, and they used to send him a case now and again, he was born in NZ, but his parents emigrated from Scotland so not entirely sure how close but not too far back I expect.

    Nah, George is one of my all time favourite characters. Unfortunately I can relate to some of his struggles.

    I now have an unfortunate image of George as a uniformed cop in Queensland pointing a gun at me as I get off a plane saying "you're that prick Snowy off the fern aren't you" and getting dragged off to a cell to share with Mr Big who wants to play mummies and daddies. Oh well never been a huge fan of Queensland.

    You would probably get accidentally shot before being dragged off the plane.

    Really? It's always seemed a highly rated, but pretty niche show (before the Netflix version) to me, in comparison to Seinfeld which was a phenomenon, probably would have been the biggest if not for Friends.

    So I think I agree with @Kruse , especially as I've been rewatching Seinfield on and off over the past few months and some of the episodes are more average than I remember.

    LOL. Suspected as much.

    Better than Mr Big playing mummies and daddies though.

    Isn't he saying it's underrated in comparison to how highly Seinfeld is though?

    Are we just in a loop now? 🙂

    I thought it was a case of two things of a theme that are over/under rated in general

    Probably a case a of a bunch of Polish chicks espousing their random thoughts on what other people think of whatever they want to talk about, with absolutely no basis in fact or reason.

    @dogmeat Polish chicks have far more knowledge about All Blacks and NZ domestic rugby than one might think, it's most wrong but knowledge none the less.

    So yes vastly under rated.
