To know Shorty Street, which is
short for Shortland Street, you need to know where a tiny little island called New Zealand is. New Zealand is off the coast of
Australia and is the home of a race of Polynesians called MAORIS and was invaded and conquered by Europeans under the command of the Monarch of Britain. Now, Shortland Street is a show
drama show set in a hospital in Auckland City. It is one of those shows that you either love or hate, but the majority of sane
people hate it. In this drama, the many employees and associates of the hospital are plagued by numerous bad things that eventually force them to leave. The catch is that they don'
t know that. It is probably the most famous TV show in New Zealand, and has immortalized lines such as:
---->"Shorty Street is
crap!"<----
---->"Shortland Street is on at
seven o'clock!"<----
---->"You're not in Guatemala now,
Doctor Ropata!"<----
And as if anyone knows where Guatemala is (I thought it was some island near Fiji!)
