GET KRACK!N

Series return ★★★

9pm, ABC

There are just enough topical sight gags to keep this cleverly sardonic idea from being suffocated by its intended awkwardness. The Kates are going to have to do more than stumble through their morning-show spoof relying on their opposing personality types and on-air breakdowns if they want to avoid a plight all too frequently dealt their real-world counterparts. Tellingly, the highlight of this episode comes after they make their exit, when two showbiz legends take the floor.

The dramatic lure of this early incarnation of the reno show is that friends will fall out over what they've done to each other's homes. Given that they're forced to enact the visions of professional designers, that seems unfair. More interesting are the bold colour palettes and furniture upcycling ideas that contrast with the minimalist corporate looks of the bigger renovation programs. Mercifully, so far, there's no sign of the sponge painting this show made popular 20 years ago.
