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.

When this series first began way way way back in 2001, i couldn't help thinking 'yay, not another Australian drama or comedy, wonder how long this will last?' But, as time dragged on i gave it a shot on a sunday night, and, thankfully i did watch Always Greener but unfortunetly i didn't watch it any earlier!The Cast is absolutely wonderful and as kooky as your typical aussie families! The younger cast, (Abe Forsythe, Michala Banas, Natasha Lee etc) are certainly matching up to the talents of their older cast mates. The story lines are true and original and as always we are given a simple situation with twists and humour used (obviously) affectiontly by the writers.Sure as most people agree the main premise isn't too original but the production design of Always Greener is as fresh as cut grass (supposed to be a pun : he he) and unlike some drama's once a storyline is resolved it is left to dry in the sun, but not on Always Greener, every episode plays a contributing part in a continuing story line.Mention must go to the supporting cast whose names do not appear in the opening credits (Grant Bowler, Denise Roberts etc.) for without them minor characters appearing every episode it probably wouldn't be as good as it is and hopefully (careful not to jinx) ALWAYS will be!

Always Greener is an amazing show. While the basic plot is nothing shocking, the characters are real and the comedy is there all the way. The actors (John Howard, Anne Tenney, Michala Banas and Daniel Bowden to mention a few) are really snug in their roles and the stories just keep coming Personal favourites (so far after 5 episodes) include the "scary cow" scene, the "chilli powder" and the characters of Pip and Marissa. I can't see why anyone would say anything against this series, and from the looks of it (TOP 10 most watched shows every week since it began!), It's here to stay!
