''Pizza'' was an Australian television series on the Australian television network SBS. The series has a spin-off feature length movie, ''Fat Pizza'', released in 2003, and a best-of highlights video/DVD that featured previously unreleased footage and a schoolies exposé, released in 2004. In addition to this, a theatre show entitled "Fat Pizza", starring several characters from the show, toured the Australian east coast. In 2014, the storyline of the series was combined with that of ''Housos'' to create the motion picture ''Fat Pizza vs. Housos''. The film was shown in Australian cinemas from November 27, 2014 onwards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fat Pizza Vs Housos )〕 Through ironic and self-conscious references, ''Pizza'' involves themes of ethnicity and stereotypes, cars, sex, illicit drugs, and violence to produce its sometimes mean-spirited dark humour. The television program is noted for its frequent cameo appearances of numerous Australian celebrities of all varieties, including actors, comedians, professional athletes, and other public figures. ==History and development== The program is written and directed by Paul Fenech, who portrays the protagonist of the series, pizza deliveryman Pauly. In a few episodes, Pauly will break the fourth wall and, as himself, the self-described "fil-um maker", ''Pizza'' began in the early 1990s as Fenech's project, a black-and-white short film, entitled ''Pizza Man'', in which he starred as the eponymous pizza man. In 1995, the short film won third place in the Tropfest film festival.〔http://www.screendaily.com/movie-network-tropfest-launch-oz-low-budget-film-push/4024227.article〕 ''Pizza'' itself was first broadcast on the SBS network in 2000 and aired its fifth and final season in 2007. The half-hour program was shown during the SBS Monday comedy slot, noted for its offbeat comedy shows including ''South Park'', ''John Safran'', ''Garth Marenghi's Darkplace'', ''Drawn Together'', and ''Quads!''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pizza (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
