I might take that back.... You take a sub-par show based entirely on Australian humour and sterotypes and try to mold it into your own stuff... screw you America.. you get what you deserve.
The mother is supposed to be stuck in 80's fashion and the daughter is supposed to be trendy but fail hardcore... It doesn't help when Selma Blair is half attractive and the original is fat. Also, the original actors are the same age but dress to be different ages... adds to the humour.
