    KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
    ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
    Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
    BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
    darryn bates I only started getting into this show after catching some one hour specials that aired this year. I wasn't expecting much from a commercial network comedy show. But it turns out to be incredibly funny, with a few performers who appear certain to end up staples of comedy television in Australia. Rebecca De Unamano, whose impersonations of Indira Naidu and Lee Lin Chin are uncanny, has already gone on to great things with 'CNNN'. Chris Lilley's 'Tommy Lee', and Mr G are also corkers, along with almost anything by Andrew Dyer (eg Johnny Tapp, Jim Waley) and Andrew O'Keefe (now the host of Deal or No Deal). Top direction from 'Roy Hollsotter Live's' Matthew Saville also features. The show was spun off into a woeful program 'Hamish and Andy' that occasionally featured some of the Big Bite performers, but seems to have been made by a totally different production team, and lasted just a few weeks before being axed. If like me you enjoyed this original show, consider checking out 'CNNN' (featuring some of the same writers) and the very underrated and very funny film 'The Honourable Wally Norman', co-written by the Big Bite's head writer, and directed by the legendary Ted Emery of 'Kath and Kim' and 'Fast Forward' fame. This show has made me a big fan of lots of the people on it, and shows there is real hope for the future of Aussie comedy TV.
    DevotedToDepeche I think this sketch comedy show is FANTASTIC and it beats all the other Australian ones. The cast show real talent.I must especially commend Chris Lilley for his original, one of a kind characters. Extreme Darren and Mr Gee always make me laugh out loud.
    MichaelaT This new show delivers consistently funny, smart and fresh comedy. The show just gets funnier and stronger week to week. Any comparisons to Comedy Inc and the like are totally useless - The Big Bite boasts a smaller, much more talented cast and incredibly funny gags of every kind from the obviously gifted comedy writing team. There are look-alike jokes (brilliant Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise not to mention Russell Crowe impersonations !), spoofs of well known Australian TV ads and tonnes of new and hilarious skits. The show works really well in its tightly packed half hour episodes - in the few weeks it's been on, it's already established a handful of genius, warm and new comedy characters - Mr. Gee the rock eistedford teacher is a personal favourite.Do yourself a favour and check it out now! It's a half hour gem of comedy.
    Steve_sydney This show isn't funny. If you like Comedy inc, you'll love this crap too.PS. The extreme guy is a rip off of s***scared from the late show.
