Has anyone seen this TV show from New Zealand?
It sounds really wacky, but could be fun.
The Johnson family appear to be a normal family, but are all Norse gods who get their powers at the age of 21.  The Norse goddesses are trying to keep the male gods from getting their powers so the females will be in charge.
Loki tries to take control and near the end of the third season, Maori gods come out of the woodwork.  (A New Zealand response to Game of Thrones?)
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

I thought it was great. The boys are just typical kiwi blokes with powers, some of the humour might get lost as there's a few kiwi idioms. It was a real shame when it finished.
