Home and Away is set in the fictional town of Summer Bay, a coastal town in New South Wales, and follows the personal and professional lives of the people living in the area. The show initially focused on the Fletcher family, Pippa and Tom Fletcher and their five foster children Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lynn Davenport and Sally Keating, who would go on to become one of the show's longest-running characters. The show also originally and currently focuses on the Stewart family. Home and Away had proved popular when it premiered in 1988 and had risen to become a hit in Australia, and after only a few weeks, the show tackled its first major and disturbing storyline, the rape of Carly Morris; it was one of the first shows to feature such storylines during the early timeslot. H&A has tackled many adult-themed and controversial storylines; something rarely found in its restricted timeslot.

User Reviews

Portrays the sterile, invented Summer Bay and yawns up countless pointless plotlines.

Im -home- and I'd like to get -away- from this show with a very fast boat.

How is this show still plucking story lines out of thin air after being on TV for 273 years?

Why are they still making more? They should’ve stopped along time ago.

Australians living in paradise and finding reasons to be glum.

A good show to have on in the background while doing housework

Endless, dull and mindless. Don’t waste your time

It's a bad soap that's been on air forever.

Just terrible trashy plots. Your typical bad soap

Possibly Australia's worst export after Fosters.

Mrs Brown's Boys

Mrs. Brown's Boys is a British-Irish award winning sitcom created by and starring writer and performer Brendan O'Carroll. The show is based on O'Carroll's stage plays about the character Agnes Browne, which were developed from books and straight-to-DVD films. The sitcom continues the stories of Agnes, now with the shortened surname "Brown", and her family who are played by real life close friends and family of O'Carroll's. After being slated by critics, the show has become a ratings success in both Ireland, where it is set, and the United Kingdom, where it is recorded. On 29 December 2012 the show began its third series. Mrs Brown's Boys is a co-production among BBC Scotland, BocPix and RTÉ.
