Kath & Kim is an American television sitcom adapted from the Australian television series of the same name created by Jane Turner and Gina Riley, with their titular roles being portrayed in this series by Molly Shannon and Selma Blair. The series premiered on NBC on October 9, 2008. Turner and Riley served as executive producers and consultants on this version, which was co-produced through Reveille Productions and Universal Media Studios.

The first episode premiered in Australia on October 12, 2008, on the Seven Network. The show's Australian broadcast was cancelled after the second episode the following week.[1] The series was then pushed to a "graveyard" slot of 11 pm on Mondays and then pre-empted for the 2009 Australian Open after the first-run airing of episode 9, "Friends". Although the show initially gained modest ratings and mixed reviews from critics,[2] NBC picked up Kath & Kim for a full season order of 22 episodes on October 31, 2008.[3] On January 15, 2009, NBC cut the episode order from 22 to 17 episodes.[4][5] The series finale aired on March 12, 2009.

On May 19, 2009, NBC cancelled the series after one season.
