"You're Skitting Me" is a great vehicle for school-aged comedy writers and performers to develop or hone their skills.
The show is obviously low budget but has some great talent.
Yes, other reviewers, some of the gags fall a bit flat or come across unfunny but judge the efforts by the context, i.e. 14,15, 16 and 17 year olds (with a few adults used as support cast members) taking on social issues, contemporary entertainment, teen issues and more.
People who watch it expecting a slick Johnny Carson or Bert Newton or The Two Ronnies won't get that ... but they will get something that's better than 95% of high school drama or comedy skits in school assembly halls.
Remember, folks, Paul Hogan, the great Australian TV comic, working with a host of writers and adult comedy actors found it very hard to do a 13 show season annually and not have some flat bits..
