While Universal Studios was battling its own inferno, at Paramount those smokin’ sirens from surburbia, Kath & Kim, settled in for the first read-through of the US version of their hit show.
Executive producers and stars Jane Turner and Gina Riley were to take their US alter egos Molly Shannon and Selma Blair through the world of Fountain Lakes.

TV giant NBC is backing the show, slating it to take on the second half-hour of Grey’s Anatomy, CSI and Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.

Stiff competition, guys.
