Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they’re favourite show was and they’ll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.

    While I understand the show had a cult appeal in many countries; Monkey (the live action Journey To The West adaptation from the 70/80s) must have had a pretty big surge in Australia when I was a kid.

    I’ve heard new zealanders around my age and older talk about it the same way, but not really people from other countries who tend to remember it for being lame/cheesy but don’t seem to have much attachment to it.
