I would expect most AU CDers are rather embarrassed that this show was conceived much less brought to air. Basically, the show seeks to find the "finest" examples of Bogans aka low lifes aka white trash. I even feel the need to offer my personal rationalization - I don't watch US "reality" TV so my immune system can (gladly) withstand a weekly dose of BH. (do AU folk watch US reality TV with this mindset?)
Sorry to say the quarantine has not held and BH is viewable worldwide via the internet. (torrent download)
While the topic is low brow, the execution / parody level is quite good. I particularly enjoy when they do the nature show mockumentary bits. And Shazza's accent is IMHO perfectly over the top.

Thanks! Housos came up when I was searching on Bogan Hunters - Paul Fenech has been having fun. It looks like I will eventually be watching all of his work including the (non-comedic) "More than Legends".
I imagine some young Australians on gap year have already discovered this and have posed for pictures with signage in the background? ( A Bogan Park as well)
Yeah there have already been tons of shows poking fun at bogans, yobs, rednecks, ferals.etc, so it's nothing new. I think we do a pretty good job at taking the **** out of various groups, despite the fact we're getting more PC.
The latest is Jonah from Tonga (probably daren't call it Hori from Whanganui) I haven't watched it yet because I can't stand racial stereotyping.
I think Chris Lilley went too far creating spinoffs first for Ja'mie King, the privileged private school girl, and now Jonah, who was even less likeable and entertaining than Ja'mie. They had their moments, but I think after 'We Can Be Heroes' it sort of dropped off...Summer Heights High was okay, Angry Boys a drop and I haven't even seen these two spin-offs.
