Show Summary

Premiered: Aug 01, 1998
Status: Ended

The Games was an Australian satire based on the premise of a documentary film crew being given carte blanche access to film the fictional Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG) as they go about their days planning and producing the Games themselves, dealing with one crisis after another: a 100 Metres track that isn't actually 100 metres long, a lacrosse facility the head of the IOC is set to tour in a week which has not yet been built, and so on. The series ran for two seasons, ending just one week before the Games themselves opened.moreless

"Perfect"

By ginarileyfan, Sep 13, 2005 Report Abuse

Okay for anyone who hasn't seen The Games, I suggest you do!!!! This is a perfect series for all comedy lovers!!! The actors do the most fantastic job and will have you laughing the whole way through!!!!! It's basically about three people, Gina, John and Brian who are all involved in the preparations of the Olympic Games but they do the most horrid job and muck up everything in the most hilarious way!!!! They then try to cover it up by acting cool and smart but it just ends up in a disaster! I strongly recomment this series to every one who has enjoyed the work of the gorgeous Gina Riley!!!!moreless
