Fam Time is an Australian television comedy series produced by the Seven Network. The series is created by Michael Horrocks and directed by Hayden Guppy.

Fam Time follows the story of the highly dysfunctional blended Box family which, like most families today, is struggling to combine their online and everyday lives in the suburbs.[1] [2]

The series was filmed in 2019,[3] and was originally set to air in 2020. However Seven announced in October 2020 the series would air instead in 2021 but this never occurred.[4] Ultimately, all six episodes were released on 7plus on 11 July 2024.[5]

Reception

David Knox from TV Tonight rated the series 2 out of 5 stars stating the series has underwhelming gags and dated humour however doesn’t believe it’s one of the worst comedies.[6] Anthony Morris from Screen Hub Australia rated the series 2½ out of 5 stars stating the series is a huge cliche and relies too much on sex jokes.[7]
