Life Support

A satirical look at self-help magazine programs. Modern dilemmas and themes are examined with a tongue-in-cheek view. Helping us through life with some very practical tips are Sigourney, Doctor Rudi, Penne and Todd.

Very funny. Takes the silly, dime-a-dozen self-help show and turns it on its head. Some quite outrageous ideas all presented with a very straight face.

A pity it ran for only three seasons and 30 episodes. It could easily have become a permanent series, poking fun at topical affairs.

The show did have some degree of lasting impact though. Two of its cast - Brendan Cowell and Abbie Cornish - went onto bigger things, having movie careers.
