Micallef's originality placed him head and shoulders above most Oz sketch comedy. At his best, the man was close to genius IMHO.
His kind of sketch show would never get commissioned by an Australian network TV nowadays, even the public broadcaster (the ABC) which once backed him.
Oh, and if you haven't seen his Spiffington Manse sketch: http://youtu.be/UefZhXEOgNA. First time I saw I laughed so hard I nearly went wee wee.
