"An Endless Wasteland"
"Hatenaki Kōya" (果てなき荒野) April 4, 2015
Soma Yukihira has been working at his father Joichiro's diner since a young age, establishing an interest in cooking and vowing to beat his father some day, for Joichiro has been beating him hollow everytime during their cooking battles. One day while his father is away, Yaeko Minegasaki, an urban life planner, arrives and threatens to demolish the restaurant to build a luxury hotel in its place, spoiling all the meat in the pantry to try and get the diner to close down. Remembering Soma's promise to always satisfy every customer that comes to dine, Yaeko orders him to make her a tasty meat dish to her satisfaction, and if he does she will never disturb him again. In response to the setback, Soma gathers his wits and uses potatoes and bacon bought while shopping to create an imitation roast pork dish, which Yaeko greatly enjoys and fulfills her portion of the deal. Despite the restaurant being saved, Joichiro decides to close it down for three years, opting to travel (and cook) abroad, sending Soma to the prestigious Totsuki Culinary Academy to take the entrance exam and study cooking there as part of the high school division.

"God Tongue"
"Kami no Shita" (神の舌) April 11, 2015
Upon arriving there, Soma is shocked by the grandness of the school building, the greatness of the school campus, and how famous Totsuki actually is, being one of the top culinary schools in the world. Soma also meets many other chefs, all of whom are descendants of gourmet chefs or heirs to high-class food businesses, who have likewise come to take the entrance exam and transfer in. Due to his background as a low-class diner chef, Soma is looked down on until most of the participants flee upon hearing that Erina Nakiri, a legendary food genius with the most selective palate known to mankind (nicknamed 'The God Tongue') will be their examiner. For fun, Erina changes the course of the exam and orders Soma to cook an egg dish to satisfy her instead. He conjures an ordinary-looking rice with seasoning, only to show it's true chicken flavour and egg saltiness enveloped inside. Despite being overwhelmingly impressed with his dish, Erina fails him, having taken an immediate dislike to his nonchalant and perceived cocky attitude, and feeling that her pride would be threatened if she allowed a person of his social standing to be admitted. Later in the day, her grandfather Senzaemon, the director of the school, tastes Soma's dish and is impressed, laughing and crumpling up his rejected application, implicitly overruling Erina's decision.

"That Chef Never Smiles"
"Kono Ryōrinin wa Warawanai" (この料理人は笑わない) April 18, 2015
At the entrance ceremony, Soma is introduced as the only student who managed to transfer into Totsuki's high school division, and he declares that he will become the top student at Totsuki, instantly earning the ire of the entire student body with his nonchalant attitude towards the school and its reputation. He is then paired up with meek girl Megumi Tadokoro, who has the worst grades among the first-years and is one E grade away from expulsion. Soma's first class consists of making Beef Bourguignon to satisfy the French teacher Roland Chapelle, known as "The Chef that Never Smiles" due to his notoriously strict grading. Megumi is determined to follow the recipe to earn a passing grade, but encounters a setback when two other students sabotages their dish by throwing in lots of salt. Luckily, Soma comes through by using honey to quickly tenderize the meat. The class is astonished when Chapelle smiles for the first time upon trying Soma and Megumi's dish, and proclaims that his only regret is he cannot give them a grade higher than an A. The two saboteurs, having been distracted by Chapelle smiling, accidentally burn their own dish and receive a failing grade. Meanwhile, Erina is told about Soma's success in Chapelle's class and furiously vows to get him expelled.

"The Madonna of the Polar Star"
"Kyokusei no Maria" (極星の聖母 (マリア)) April 25, 2015
Soma is sent to Polar Star Dormitory, a dormitory for students whose home is further away from the school. He is greeted by Fumio Daimidō, the caretaker, and is required to cook a dish that satisfies her in order to become a resident. Not knowing that he was supposed to provide his own ingredients, Soma nevertheless conjures a mackerel burger meal using leftover ingredients in the kitchen, which impresses Fumio greatly. Now a Polar Star Dormitory resident, Soma meets the other residents: first-year Yūki Yoshino who specialises in wild game, her best friend and fellow first-year Ryōko Sakaki who specializes in fermentation and alcoholic beverages, quiet first-year Shun Ibusaki who specialises in smoked food, first-year nerd Zenji Marui who specialises in in-depth food research, bickering freshmans Daigo Aoki and Shōji Satō neither of whom specialise in any one area of cooking but nonetheless are skilled enough to remain at the academy, enthusiastic second-year Satoshi Isshiki who specialises in traditional Japanese cuisine, as well as Megumi, who specialises in vegetable and seafood dishes. During a welcoming party, Soma is further introduced to the academy's inner workings, such as the Elite Ten, the highest decision-making body in the school other than the school director himself, which consists of ten exceptionally talented students, the 10th seat being Erina while the 7th seat being Satoshi. Satoshi decides to challenge Soma to a cookoff. Satoshi presents his peppered mackerel dish and Soma is shocked by the elevated quality of Satoshi's cooking.
5
"The Ice Queen and the Spring Storm"
"Kōri no Joō to Haru no Arashi" (氷の女王と春の嵐) May 2, 2015
Soma presents his dish, mackerel onigiri chazuke using seaweed tea. Everybody is impressed, and the cookoff is declared a draw. Having his sights set on becoming a member on the Elite Ten, he challenges Satoshi for his spot only to find out that it can only be obtained through a high-stakes cooking duel called a Shokugeki, and Soma has nothing of value to wager that is of equivalent value to his Elite Ten membership. Meanwhile, Erina challenges the Chanko Research Society president Kiyoshi Godabayashi to a Shokugeki for the rights to his clubroom, which she wins with ease. She then has his clubroom demolished in order to make room for a new wing for her personal cooking facilities.
6
"The Meat Invader"
"Niku no Shinryakusha" (肉の侵略者) May 9, 2015
Megumi helps Soma to look for a club to join and stumble upon the Don Research Society, which is being targeted for disbandment by Erina for her expansion project. Ikumi Mito, one of Erina's enforcers known as "The Meat Master", challenges the club president Kanichi Konishi, telling him that no matter what he cooks his dish will never beat her A5 grade meat. Seeing the events unfold, Soma volunteers to partake in the Shokugeki in Kanichi's place, with the challenge being to cook a donburi dish with meat as the main ingredient. The terms for the contest are that if Soma wins, the club stays with increased funding and Ikumi must join, but if Ikumi wins, the club disbands and Soma will be expelled. In preparing for the Shokugeki, Soma makes numerous donburi dishes through research and modifies them with the realization that the club's budget is limited. Soma settles on the Chaliapin steak, while Ikumi, heir to a massive meat packaging business, contacts her family to deliver the best cut of A5 grade beef available.
7
"A Quiet Don, An Eloquent Don"
"Shizukanaru Don, Yūben'na Don" (静かなる丼、雄弁な丼) May 16, 2015
At the Shokugeki, Ikumi wows the audience with her A5 grade beef, while Soma is mocked for using discount supermarket beef. Ikumi completes her A5 Japanese Beef Roti Don first, with the judges being extremely impressed with the taste and quality of her beef. Soon after, Soma presents his Chaliapin Steak Don to the judges, who, after initially refusing to taste it, try his dish and are unable to stop eating, resulting in a unanimous win for Soma. Soma addresses Ikumi's dish, pointing out that she misunderstood the concept of donburi by placing too much emphasis on the beef and not the donburi as a whole, as the judges were too full from eating the beef to finish her basic garlic rice. With Soma's victory, Ikumi has her personal kitchen taken away from her by Erina but develops a crush on Soma after he calls her by her nickname "Nikumi" (English Dub: Sweet Meat). Ikumi joins Don RS and is immediately outraged and embarrassed to learn Soma did not join the club with her, as he had only visited Don RS in the first place to research donburi recipes to add to his restaurants menu.

"The Concerto of Inspiration and Imagination"
"Hassō to Sōzō no Kyōsōkyoku" (発想と創造の協奏曲) May 23, 2015
The first year students at Totsuki Academy go to a training camp as their first major challenge during which about half of the first year students usually receive a failing grade and are expelled. The students are given various challenges with alumni from the school brought in to be judges. The first challenge for Soma's group, that includes Megumi and the Aldini twins Takumi and Isami, is to make a dish that can be served at a Japanese restaurant using ingredients gathered from nature in the area surrounding the kitchen with former Second Seat Hinako Inui judging their dishes. Takumi, heir to his family restaurant in Tuscany, "Tratoria Aldini", challenges Soma to a duel to see who can cook the better dish as they both specialize in diner-style dishes. Most of the students gather fish while the Aldini twins find a duck for their dish. They are the first to complete their dish and Inui passes them.
9
"The Breading to Adorn the Mountains"
"Yama o Irodoru Koromo" (山を彩る衣) May 30, 2015
Having come up with ideas for their dish, Soma makes a list of ingredients for he and Megumi to gather. Soma takes Inui's kaki peanuts on the understanding that any ingredient found in the area can be used. Soma and Megumi gather ingredients and arrive with 15 minutes left and they make the Char Okakiage using the peanuts as a crust for the fish. Inui expresses her satisfaction and passes Soma and Megumi, but she does not declare a winner between Takumi and Soma as she is ordered to depart immediately. Takumi leaves vowing to challenge Soma to a Shokugeki should they meet again. The students return to the hotel where they are ordered to each cook 50 servings of a steak dinner to serve to the Bodybuilding, Football and Wrestling Clubs with no chance to rest after having spent all day cooking, and with the risk of immediate expulsion unless all 50 servings are cooked within 1 hour. Soma finishes quickly and heads to the public bath where he runs into Erina, having just finished her own bath.
10
"The Heavenly Recette"
"Shijō no Rusetto" (至上のルセット) June 6, 2015
Soma apologizes for knocking Erina over, but Erina refuses his help thinking that she is letting her guard down. Soma meets alumnus and Totsuki Resort head chef Gin Dojima in the bath, who is surprised to see that Soma finished so quickly. Dojima wishes Soma good luck as Takumi Aldini enters the bath, with Aldini shocked to see Soma having casual conversation with a legend like Dojima. The next day, Soma and Megumi are assigned the task of making the Nine Vegetable Terrine, but this time individually instead of as partners. Alumnus Kojiro Shinomiya, who will be judging the dishes, tells the students to think of each other as enemies. In the mad rush to claim the best ingredients, the unassertive Megumi is pushed aside and finds only bruised heads of cauliflower remaining by the time she reaches the table. Thinking about what Soma would do in such a situation, Megumi uses wine vinegar to preserve the color and enhance the seasoning of the cauliflower. Shinomiya passes Soma, but fails Megumi for making unauthorized changes to the recipe. Soma defends Megumi fearlessly in the face of the intimidating Shinomiya, angering the latter, who reveals that he intentionally provided a limited number of good cauliflower heads to limit the number of students who could pass. A furious Soma challenges Shinomiya to a Shokugeki to get Megumi's expulsion rescinded.
11
"The Magician from the East"
"Higashi kara Kita Majutsushi" (東から来た魔術師) June 13, 2015
Shinomiya initially refuses Soma's challenge, however Dojima and Inui were passing by and pressured him into accepting the challenge. Thus, Soma and Megumi battle Shinomiya in an unofficial Shokugeki under the condition that Megumi is the lead chef as this Shokugeki is designed to prove Megumi's worthiness as a chef. While Shinomiya makes his dish, Megumi becomes tense at the sight of his dish. Soma tells her to relax and to focus on making something that's representative of herself and not what Shinomiya is doing. Shinomiya presents his dish first, the Chou farci, and the judges give overwhelming praise to the dish. However Dojima is not satisfied by the dish as it was not from one of his specialties. Megumi then presents her dish, the Rainbow Terrine.
12
"The Memory of a Dish"
"Hito-sara no Kioku" (ひと皿の記憶) June 20, 2015
Megumi manages to impress the judges with her Rainbow Terrine, which emphasises the maturity of vegetables. However, when it comes down to voting, all three judges vote for Shinomiya's dish based on the difference between their skill. Just then, Dojima gives his own vote towards Megumi's dish, stating that Shinomiya has allowed his cooking to become stale, his status as a world famous chef having prevented him from developing his skills any further. This is revealed in flashbacks to be related to how his climb to fame involved making sure his dishes were totally by the book with no tolerance for any kind of changes to an established recipe. When Shinomiya tries Megumi's dish for himself, he comes to understand how her dish was geared towards the needs of those eating it and puts in his own vote for Megumi. With Inui also casting her vote for Megumi, the Shokugeki ends in a tie, with Shinomiya revoking Megumi's expulsion. As Megumi returns back to her concerned friends, Soma laments what is technically his very first defeat.
13
"The Eggs Before Dawn"
"Yoake Mae no Tamago-tachi" (夜明け前の卵たち) June 27, 2015
Before the students have a chance to sleep for the night, Dojima announces his next task, in which the students must prepare a buffet-style egg dish to be served at breakfast early next morning. With everyone spending the night trying to come up with a recipe, Soma decides on a soufflé omelette, which is met with silent criticism from some of the other students. As breakfast comes the next day, it is revealed the judges will consist of the hotel's guests and staff, with students needing to hand out 200 servings of their dish in order to pass. While many of the students including Erina, Megumi, and Takumi all manage to impress with their dishes, Soma struggles to serve his dish to anyone.
14
"Metamorphosis"
"Metamorufōze" (メタモルフォーゼ) July 4, 2015
Due to the specific timing required for his soufflé omelette, Soma struggles to get any customers to try his dish before they end up deflating. With half an hour left in the challenge, Soma calmly analyzes the situtation and changes his approach, cooking in front of his customers in order to attract a crowd while also delivering the dish in its peak condition. Optimizing his preparation time to cook his omelettes as quickly as possible, Soma manages to complete his 200 servings goal with merely seconds to spare. Afterwards, Soma is introduced to Erina's cousin, Alice Nakiri, who considers both Soma and Erina her rivals. Following another task a few hours later, Dojima treats all the surviving students with a banquet to celebrate the end of the training camp, while withholding information about the next event: the Autumn Selection.
15
"The Man Called Demon"
"Syura to Yobareda Otoko" (『修羅』と呼ばれた男) July 18, 2015
As the students make their way home, Shinomiya decides to return to France to make his restaurant the best in Paris, while the other alumni explain how the training camp also serves as a recruitment ground to determine potential for future employment. Going back for his headband, Soma ends up missing his bus and has to hitch a ride back to school with Erina, who explains about the Autumn Festival while hiding the fact that she, along with Dojima, are shown to have fond memories of Joichiro. Returning to the Polar Star Dormitory, Soma is surprised to see Joichiro, who is revealed to be an alumnus and former member of the Elite Ten who went by the name Jouchirou Saiba. As Joichiro treats the returning residents to a meal, Fumio explains that Joichiro and Dojima were once fellow Polar Star residents who were responsible for many of the luxuries the dorm has. Later that night, Joichiro tells Soma about his campus memories, filling him with more determination. The next morning, Joichiro decides to have a cooking contest against Soma.
16
"The Chef Who's Crossed A Thousand Leagues"
"Banri o Kakeru Ryōrinin" (万里を駆ける料理人) July 25, 2015
With Fumio, Megumi, and Satoshi winding up as judges, Soma and Joichiro are challenged to use ingredients from the kitchen to make a light yet energizing breakfast dish that will wake them up. Soma presents an apple risotto, which provides a crisp taste which changes with the addition of black pepper. Joichiro, on the other hand, presents the unusual choice of ramen which, despite its heavy appearance, turns out to be a mellow and warming vegetarian dish, providing powerful flavor without meat or fish. The judges unanimously vote Joichiro's dish the winner, though Soma's dish also receives some praise. As Jouichirou takes his leave, he leaves a message recommending Soma visit the Yukihira Diner during the holiday.
17
"The Seductive Karaage"
"Kannō no Karaage" (官能の唐揚げ) August 1, 2015
Arriving back home, Soma temporarily re-opens Yukihira Diner to serve his loyal customers, including his childhood friend, Mayu Kurase, who has a crush on him. He learns that the Sumire Shopping District has been doing poor business lately due to the arrival of a popular karaage chain shop, Mozuya. Wanting to help revive the shopping district, Soma decides to come up with a competing karaage recipe, calling in Ikumi as his meat expert while Mayu winds up as his taste tester (due to the efforts of mutual friend Aki Koganei to set Mayu up with Soma). The three do some recon at Mozuya, where they find its CEO Kinu Nakamozu to be a spiteful woman, before beginning work on a karaage recipe of their own. As Soma takes up Mayu's suggestion to use their shopping district location to their advantage, it is revealed that the figure behind Mozuya's success is one of the Elite Ten.
18
"The Karaage of Youth"
"Seishun no Karaage" (青春の唐揚げ) August 8, 2015
Noting that the shopping district focuses more on walk-and-eat food, as opposed to Mozuya's packaged approach, Soma shifts his focus towards creating a karaage that can be enjoyed straight out of the fryer. Opting to go with chicken thigh meat with a chilli-based marinade, Soma gets inspiration from a bento shop owner and decides to serve his karaage in rice flour wraps with salad, providing enhanced flavor, portability, and appeal all at once. This brings a large amount of business, which in turns helps the rest of the shopping district come back to life, with Nakamozu having no choice but to admit defeat. Afterwards, Soma puts Mayu in charge of helping with the karaage's sales, having noted her good qualities. Returning to the academy, Soma is brought before Mozuya's puppetmaster, Etsuya Eizan, the ninth seat of the Elite Ten, who informs him that he has been chosen for the Autumn Elections.
19

"Erabareshi Mono" (選ばれし者) August 15, 2015
The contestants and rules for the Autumn Elections are announced, in which the sixty selected contestants are split into two groups which they must top in order to advance to the tournament phase. Meanwhile, Megumi is approached by a girl named Miyoko Hojo, who was interested in her shokugeki with Shinomiya but becomes disappointed when she hears she was helped by Soma. After learning the first dish of the elections is a curry dish, Soma and Megumi pay a visit to Jun Shiomi, an instructor and former Polar Star alumna who specializes in curry and spices, along with her assistant Akira Hayama, who is also in the elections. Using Jun's theories on spices, Akira demonstrates how preparing the same ingredients of a curry dish in different ways can yield drastically different results. Becoming wowed by the powerful flavors of Akira's curry, Soma becomes determined to beat him with an even better curry dish at the preliminaries.

As each of the contestants start bringing out each of their unique methods, Soma appears to have fallen asleep.

Soma awakens from his nap at the exact moment he senses his spice and vegetable infused rice is cooked to perfection. Meanwhile, Megumi brings out a monkfish for her dish, having learnt how to butcher it in order to help her family. With the cooking period over, the judging soon begins with a harsh panel of judges hitting most of the students with low scores. In Group B, Nao Sadatsuka, a somewhat creepy girl with an obsession with Erina, presents an extremely pungent laksa dish made using kusaya that secretly carries a delicious flavor under its strong odor, scoring 84 points as a result. Meanwhile, Erina's secretary and childhood friend Hisako Arato, who Nao has a rivalry with, presents a mutton curry made using medicinal cuisine which undoes the cursive effects of Nao's curry, scoring 92 points.
22

"Nichijō o Koerumono" (日常を超えるもの) September 5, 2015
Miyoko scores 87 points with her pineapple-fragranced cha-han while Yuki gets 86 points for her wild game curry. Afterwards, the Aldini brothers face off against each other, with Isami presenting a curry calzone that scores 87 points while Takumi presents a curry pasta dish using tamari soy sauce and cheese filled pasta that scores 90 points. Alice then presents her deconstructed curry dish that leaves the judges bewildered, earning 95 points and taking the lead. Finally, Megumi presents her dish, monkfish dobu-jiru, which emphasises the taste of her hometown, earning her 88 points and landing her a spot in the next round alongside Alice, Hisako, and Takumi.
23
"The Competition of the Blossoming Individuals"
"Hana Hiraku Ko no Kyōen" (花開く個の競演) September 12, 2015
Back in Group A, contestants are struggling to score as one of the main judges, Natsume Sendawara, keeps giving out zero scores. This streak soon breaks when Ryo Kurokiba, Alice's aide, presents a lobster curry made using a cognac base, earning 93 points. Next, Ikumi presents a Dongpo pork curry, using what she had learned from her Shokugeki with Soma to impress the judges with a complete dish and earning score of 86. Afterwards, Ryoko presents a Dal curry made with charcoal-grilled natto and soy sauce rice malt, also scoring 86, while both Marui and Ibusaki earn 88 points with their white potage curry udon and smoked curry respectively. Akira soon presents his dish, an unconventional dish that soon turns out to be a fragrance bomb.
24
"The Banquet of Warriors"
"Senshi-tachi no Utage" (戦士たちの宴) September 26, 2015
Akira's dish, which on top of its powerful fragrance also uses the power of holy basil and yogurt, earns a score of 94 from the judges, two of which gave him a perfect 20. Finally, Soma presents his own fragrance bomb, combining his past two failures into a curry risotto omurice containing a mango chutney that deepens the flavor. The dish earns Soma 93 points, landing him second place behind Akira, though it is noted by the crowd that despite Akira receiving a higher score overall three of the five judges ranked Soma's dish higher than Akira's, with the implication being that in a Shokugeki, this would have given Soma the victory. As the contestants hold an afterparty celebrating and lamenting their victories and losses in the preliminaries, Soma becomes determined to improve his cooking finesse.

With the judges getting up close during the final stages, Ryo presents his Soupe de Poisson Ramen first, impressing the judges with a rich flavor made using crushed lobster shells.

Hisako presents her dish, a soft-shelled turtle burger, but is defeated by Akira's kebab burger, which takes advantage of the burger's pickle aspect to enhance the flavor. Prior to the fourth match, Subaru provokes Takumi by insulting his brother, turning their match against each other into a Shokugeki.

"Tsuiseki-sha" (追跡者) July 23, 2016
The Shokugeki between Takumi and Subaru commences with Takumi's mezzaluna on the line. With both sides making a semifreddo, Subaru uses his investigative approach to Shokugekis to make his own twists to improve on Takumi's recipe. Pressured over whether he can make his own twists within the limited cooking time, Takumi thinks back to his training and calms down. After Subaru impresses the judges with his twists, Takumi presents his semifreddo with an added layer of lemon curd made with olive oil. However, Subaru reveals he had predicted Takumi's actions and added his own secret ingredient; preserved lemons, claiming both his victory and Takumi's mezzaluna. Afterwards, Subaru shows up at Soma's dorm to challenge him to a Shokugeki in the semi-finals, putting up Takumi's mezzaluna for Soma's knife.

Thinking Erina's criticism over, Soma gets a burst of inspiration after receiving some meat from Ikumi. The day of the Shokugeki soon arrives, with Soma realising the importance of making his dish stand out on the first bite and deciding to make his stew using oxtail. However, as a result of his profiling, Subaru predicts Soma's actions and also uses oxtail, bringing out his own twist on top of it.

Subaru uses smoked bacon as a garniture for his stew, revealing that he got his information from hacking into Mitsuru's notes. Even when Soma reveals his intent to use various cuts of beef to improvise his dish on the fly, Subaru still appears to have predicted Soma's move, remaining confident in his bacon addition. Although the judges are impressed by Subaru's bacon garniture, Soma astounds them with his dish by using various meats for his garniture, revealing he had created the dish from everything he had learned so far, unanimously winning the match. As a result, Soma manages to return all the tools Subaru had taken back to their original owners, with Takumi deciding to leave his mezzaluna with Soma until he can win it back himself.

With the judges evenly split on which dish to vote for, they declare that the final round will now be a three-way match between Soma, Akira, and Ryo, with the theme revealed to be pacific saury.

8 "Battle of Seasonality"
"Shun o Meguru Tatakai" (旬を巡る戦い) August 20, 2016
In preparation for the final, Soma goes with Megumi to the fish market, where they come across Ryo and Alice. There, they learn about the varying factors about picking the best pacific saury, which Ryo appears to be an expert on. Hearing that Akira also has a talent for picking out the best fish, Soma is left concerned about how to compete with both him and Ryo. After thinking over the time aspect of the fish, Soma ultimately decides on ageing his saury, asking for help from Ryoko, Ibusaki, and Ikumi due to their experience with ageing methods. Trying out each of the three methods; using malt rice, smoking, and high humidity, Soma manages to think of a way to surpass the others after a run-in with Fumio. The day of the final arrives, with Soma bringing out what appears to be a completely unrecognizable piece of saury.
33
9 "A Sword that Signals Autumn"
"Aki o Tsugeru Katana" (秋を告げる刀) August 27, 2016
Under a moonlit sky, the finals get underway, with Alice recalling the many cooking battles she's had with Ryo. With only half the cooking time passed, Ryo presents his dish; a cartoccio cooked in herb butter inside film bags. Next, Akira presents a seared carpaccio, which uses fire to unleash its powerful aroma which, contrary to everyone's expectations, only uses a single spice. Finally, Soma presents his dish; Salted Rice Bran Pacific Saury Rice, which he learned from seeing Fumio's pickles. Just as it seems his dish has failed to impress the judges, Soma brings out his dish's true edge.
34
10 "A New Genius"
"Aratanaru "Gyoku"" (新たなる玉) September 3, 2016
Soma presents his dish's missing element, a white soup made from soy milk that turns the rice dish into a creamy porridge, enhancing the already existing flavors. Meanwhile, Satoshi, who deduces that Eizan was the one who drove Subaru to provoke Soma, tells him that it was Soma's drive to never give up that got him so far. As the judges make their decision, Akira recalls how Jun brought him out of the slums and helped him become the chef he is today. With originality being the deciding factor between the three dishes, Akira is declared the winner of the Autumn Elections for his specialty dish. Afterwards, Soma speaks with Joichiro, stating his determination to continue finding his own way of cooking. A few days later, as Soma spends more time with Akira and Ryo to improve himself, Jun informs them about the Stagiaire training program for first year students.
35
11 "The Stagiaire"
"Sutajiēru" (スタジエール) September 10, 2016
With the Stagiaire program requiring students to take up residence at various restaurants outside of the school while also leaving their own impression, Soma ends up getting paired with Hisako, who has been feeling inferior since losing the Autumn Elections, as they are sent to Mitamura Western Restaurant. Immediately, they discover that the restaurant is struggling to keep up with the barrages of orders from commuting customers, but Soma manages to use his experience to take control and keep everyone organised. Meanwhile, Erina and Megumi are sent to a French restaurant, where Erina instantly takes command of the kitchen, while Megumi finds her own way to make improvements. As Hisako becomes more settled with her role, Soma believes that the restaurant needs to change, so that they don't struggle again once the Stagiaire is over. With the staff unwilling to cut down their large menu, Soma suggests that they try switching to a reservations-only basis, allowing them to better cater to their customers. After passing the first stage of the Stagiare, Soma encourages Hisako to stop feeling ashamed of her defeat and return to Erina's side, aiming to stand alongside her rather than only follow behind.
36
12 "The Magician Once More"
"Majutsu-shi Futatabi" (魔術師再び) September 17, 2016
The next step of the Stagiaire reunites Soma with Shinomiya, who is opening a Tokyo branch of his French restaurant, Shino's. At the restaurant begins its first pre-open day, Soma witnesses firsthand the intensity of working in Shinomiya's kitchen and struggles to keep up with the rest of the staff. Thinking over his failures, Soma spends the rest of the week getting prep done early so he can ask the other staff members for advice on how to become more efficient in the kitchen and learn new techniques. On the final day, Soma decides to enter a competition to create a dish for Shino's menu that he can call his specialty.
37
13 "Pomp and Circumstance"
"Ifudōdō" (威風堂々) September 24, 2016
At the end of the pre-open's final day, Shinomiya calls in his fellow alumni, along with his mother, for one final service, recalling what inspired him to pursue French cuisine. As the competition finally arrives, Soma uses about everything he's learned to put together a French take on a chicken and egg rice bowl using a quail stuffed with risotto. Despite ultimately deciding that dish isn't good enough as it is, Shinomiya helps Soma refine his recipé so that it can become an item on his menu, leading Soma to pass the Stagiaire. With the Stagiaire over, Soma returns to Totsuki, ready to take on anyone who challenges him to a Shokugeki.

1 "Challenging the Elite Ten"
"Jukketsu ni idomu" (十傑に挑む) October 4, 2017[8]
In response to the Kuga's condescending provocation at the Autumn Leaves Viewing, Soma decides to show off his cooking prowess in the upcoming Moon Festival which involves the setting up booths by groups or individuals on school grounds. Deciding to go up against Kuga directly, Soma approaches Miyoko Hojo, who also specialises in Chinese cuisine like Kuga. Miyoko explains that while she specialises in all forms of Chinese cuisine, Kuga's focus is on Sichuan spicy cuisine, and takes him to his mainstay, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society. Soma is shocked to see many chefs working in perfect unison and precision, trained all by Kuga himself. After tasting ten identical speciality dishes of mapo tofu, Soma gets more determined than ever to beat Kuga, going up front against him by claiming the booth area directly in front of his, and serving Chinese cuisine as well. Just as Soma submits his application form, Erina reveals to him that he will get expelled if his booth loses money, much to Soma's disbelief.
39
2 "Má and Là"
"Mā to Rā" (『麻』と『辣』) October 11, 2017[8]
The preparation for the Moon Festival is abuzz with Soma's indirect declaration of war on Kuga. This prompts the initially apathetic Alice to join in the festival, by capitalising on Jun's maternal instinct to include her and Ryo in the booth run by Shiomi Seminar, much to the annoyance of Hayama. After involuntarily tasting Soma's version of mapo tofu, Erina superciliously explains to him the concept of `Má' (麻, lit. hot) and `là (辣, lit. spiciness) in Sichuan cuisine, unintentionally giving Soma useful information, while Alice and Hisako explain that spiciness works on vanilloids receptors different from the sense of taste, rather on the sense of pain, which has addictive and medicinal effects. Back at the dorm, Soma starts experimenting with Megumi to catch up with Kuga's level; but ended up just making overly spicy dishes. The next day, Hojo lends them the Chinese department's open clay pot oven and they plan to make Hujiao bing to attract customers with its unique method of cooking.
40
3 "Moon Festival"
"Gekkyōsai" (月饗祭) October 18, 2017[8]
The first day of the Moon Festival commences and Kuga's restaurant immediately gets a long line of customers, while Soma manages to impress the few he is getting. The booths run by Isshiki and the Polar Star Dormitory, the Don RS by Ikumi and the pop-up Trattoria Aldini by the Aldini brothers all seem to be going well. By the end of the day, Kuga's restaurant has clinched first place in terms of sales in the Central area, and the only two booths that lost money were Soma's and Shiomi Seminar's, leaving Erina appalled as they were all competitors who made it to the main tournament of the Autumn Elections. Day 2 passes and Kuga's restaurant takes the first place again, while Soma manages to climb up five rungs from last place with the introduction of a new noodle dish created by slicing up the dough for the Hujiao bing into noodles and pairing them with garlic, shrimp stock, and the ground pork filling, improvising from ta-a noodles. Meanwhile, Alice decides to start over and cooperate with Hayama to make a dish that will satisfy customers.
41
4 "A Pride of Young Lions"
"Wakaki Shishi-tachi no Mure" (若き獅子たちの群れ) October 25, 2017[8]
Day 3 passes without much improvement and Soma notices that even though Kuga is getting steady business, the long waiting time and the requirement for quick eating at peak times frustrates the diners. With Tomita's help on Day 4, Soma adds tables and chairs to his booth. Soma adds a remade version of his Yukihira-version of mapo tofu by adding noodles and a giant mystery meatball with curry in it. It's aroma and intriguing appearance appeals to Kuga's frustrated customers and slowly but surely, they begin to defect to his booth. Just as customer numbers begin to get out-of-hand, Mimasaka comes to help after image-training at Soma's restaurant. As Megumi handles customer service and evening falls, their friends from other booths and members of Megumi's Regional Cuisine RS arrive to help cook and draw in more customers respectively. Together, they pass Day 4 and defeat Kuga's restaurant in terms of sales in that area, clinching first place. Shiomi Seminar's booth also finally manages to attract customers and make up for their losses.
42
5 "The Darkening Dinner Table"
"Kageri yuku shokutaku" (翳りゆく食卓) November 1, 2017[8]
Kuga beats Soma again on the 5th and last day of the Moon Festival, but he is not satisfied. A flashback reveals how Kuga had also challenged the Elite Ten as a first-year at the previous Autumn Leaves Viewing, with Tsukasa Eishi surprisingly accepting. While Kuga lost, he made a deal with Tsukasa: if Kuga clinched first place in sales in the Central area every day of the Moon Festival, just like Tsukasa did the previous year, they should have a rematch. Both sides lost, as Soma also didn't achieve his goal of beating Kuga in total sales. For consolation, 2nd Seat Rindou Kobayashi reserves a table for Soma and Megumi at Tsukasa's booth, consisting of a nine-course meal, all prepared by Tsukasa himself. Intrigued by the different level of dining the uptown area offers, Soma facetiously visits Erina's booth; only to find the Erina trembling in fear and her diners shocked by the unexpected appearance of her elitist father, Azami Nakiri. Soma and Megumi witness Azami mocking the gourmands that have come to taste Erina's food, and declaring himself the new headmaster of Totsuki, ousting Senzaemon after revealing that he has the support of 6 members of the Elite Ten.
43
6 "The Imprisoned Queen"
"Toraware no Joō" (囚われの女王) November 8, 2017[8]
Gin and Joichiro meet coincidentally after many years, and in the midst of their reunion, Gin is informed of the replacement of Senzaemon by Azami, who was revealed to be the 3rd Seat behind the two of them. The news of Azami's new posting spreads like wildfire around the school, much to the shock of the students and the public. Azami dismisses Hisako from her post as Erina's secretary, with Erina unable to object. Sanzaemon meets with Soma, and the former director reflects on Erina's childhood as a happy little girl and how she was brainwashed, abused, and isolated by Azami to polish her "God's Tongue" to what it is today, leaving her traumatized by his presence. Azami also ripped up all the letters Alice sent from Scandinavia. Azami was exiled, but continues to build his strong base in other parts of the world. Although Soma seemed asympathetic about Erina's situation, he reiterates to Senzaemon his vow from when he first met Erina: to make her say his food is delicious. As Erina begins to despair alone in her room, Alice, Ryo and Hisako arrive to break her out of the Nakiri estate, and ultimately find refuge for her at Polar Star Dormitory. Upon learning about her past, the other residents' accepted Erina as part of the dorm.
44
7 "It Begins"
"Hibuta wa kira reta" (火蓋は切られた) November 15, 2017[8]
Azami announces the disbandment of all research societies and independent bodies in Totsuki, much to the horror of the student body and staff, and the formation of the Central Gourmet Society, or Central for short, a new authoritarian body that will decide what students should cook and create. Ninth seat, Eizan Etsuya, arrives at the Polar Star dorm with his goons to announce its closure. However, Soma explicitly asks if a Shokugeki can overturn the decision. In response, Eizan accepts and broadcasts live a Shokugeki with Kabutoyama Tetsuji, head of the Skewer Research Society, only to reveal that he has bribed the judges, and nefariously declares that the Shokugeki is dead. While the dorm residents lament their fate, Soma obstinately issues a Shokugeki challenge to Eizan for the survival of the dorm. As their Shokugeki begins, Eizan secretly directs his men to forcibly vacate the dorm, aggravating Soma.
45
8 "The Alchemist"
"Arukimisuta" (錬金術師 (アルキミスタ)) November 22, 2017[8]
Soma refuses to be intimidated by Eizan's tactics and continues cooking, infuriating Eizan. Meanwhile, the Polar Star dorm residents band together and repel Eizan's thugs. After further taunts from Soma, Eizan finally decides to cook seriously. With Satsuma Jidori Chicken as the theme, Eizan serves a Hainanese chicken rice dish that impresses both the judges and Soma. Soma responds with a special chicken wingtip gyoza dish that uses pork fat, parmesan cheese, and ketchup as special ingredients. He dares Eizan to try his dish, and as Eizan takes a bite, he reluctantly acknowledges that Soma's dish tastes good. Seeing Eizan's reaction and tempted by the smell of the food, the judges cautiously and curiously tastes Soma's dish. Amazed by it's unique delicious flavor, despite unorthodox cooking methods, the judges vote unanimously for Soma. Eizan is forced to admit defeat, and Soma declares to the school that he will battle anybody who threatens his friends and Polar Star, including the Elite Ten.
46
9 "Hunting the Survivors"
"Zantō gari" (残党狩り) November 29, 2017[8]
With Soma's victory, Eizan's thugs are called off and Polar Star is saved. The residents celebrates the victory, along with Erina, Hisako, Takumi, and Isami. Isshiki then arrives and explains that thanks to Soma's victory, Central is now allowing school organizations to issue shokugeki requests which will be overseen by neutral judges. Several days later, Isshiki is dismissed from the Elite Ten, along with Kuga and 3rd seat Megishima, as they voted against Azami's installation. Meanwhile, the rest of the Elite Ten and other Central members begin to "hunt the survivors" by defeating the other school societies in their Shokugeki matches. Soma and his friends decide to observe the matches in order to gain intelligence on their potential opponents. As all clubs lost their matches to Central, Alice and Ryo arrive for the final Shokugeki of the day. Alice explains that she had inadvertently become the head of the Cutting Edge Cuisine RS, making her target in the hunt. Ryo accepted the challenge on her behalf, and prepares to face off against Central member Kusunoki Rentaro, with the main ingredient being salmon.
47
10 "The Salmon Will Dance"
"Sake wa odoru" (鮭は踊る) December 6, 2017[8]
As Ryo prepares his dish, it is revealed that Rentaro is an expert in low temperature cooking and makes use of a combi steamer and cryomill to create a salmon confit flamme with a side of salmon ice cream. Ryo responds by baking a coulibiac. As the judges deliberate on which dish is better, Rentaro impetuously boasts that he had submerged his salmon in olive oil while cooking it, which would prevent any of the moisture from escaping the meat and therefore preserving all of its flavor. However, the judges declares that Ryo's dish is superior. Ryo reveals that he had inserted a spinach crêpe, and a special spice mix he learnt from his stagiaire experience in a curry restaurant, into his coulibiac. In addition, Ryo's blend of various uneven flavors together accentuated the taste of his salmon, giving a dynamic sensation far better than Rentaro's salmon. Ryo was declared the winner, as Azami enters the arena.
48
11 "Der Weiße Ritter der Tafel"
"Shokutaku no shiro kishi" (食卓の白騎士) December 13, 2017[8]
Erina shows up at the arena just as Alice berates Azami publicly, and tells Erina to stand up for herself. The next day, Soma volunteers to be Tsukasa Eishi's sous chef during class, impressing Tsukasa with his advanced skills. At the end of the class, Tsukasa arrogantly offers Soma to join Central as his assistant, and Soma blatantly refuses. Tsukasa then challenges Soma to an informal Shokugeki and wagers his position as first seat, in return for Soma joining Central if he loses, while Erina, Hisako, and Megumi hide and watch from a distance. Soma then asks Tsukasa what Azami and Central's true plans are, and he reveals that Azami's ultimate long-term goal is to eliminate all restaurants in Japan and replace them with the fine dining gourmet eateries that only he approves of. Realizing that this means the end of many local restaurants, such as Yukihira Diner, Soma resolves to beat Tsukasa so he won't be forced to join Central.
49
12 "The One Who Aims for the Summit"
"Itadaki o mezasu mono" (頂を目指す者) December 20, 2017[8]
Soma and Tsukasa finish their dishes, with Soma making a charcoal grilled venison thigh with sweet chestnut sauce, while Tsukasa makes roast venison back strap with peppercorn and berry sauce. Erina, Hisako, and Megumi act as judges and they reluctantly declare Tsukasa's dish as superior. However, Tsukasa changes his mind and decides not to force Soma into Central, citing how Soma's unorthodox and non-wavering cooking style will actually hinder him. The second Survivor Hunt begins a few days later, with Megumi, Ikumi, and Marui managing to save their respective clubs. That night, Azami pays a visit to Polar Star, where he is coldly received. As he leaves, Soma confronts Azami, who reveals that he was part of the Polar Star's Golden Generation, and he revered Joichiro and his cooking. Soma then tells Azami that Joichiro is his father, right as Erina walks in on the conversation, shocking both of them. Intrigued and curious, Azami then arrogantly declares the revolution he is planning is meant to bring down the food culture that "ruined" Joichiro, leaving both Soma and Erina wondering what happened between Joichiro and Azami.

Erina is at a loss for what to do during summer vacation after finishing her schedule early for the day, so Alice takes her to a public pool. There, Alice enjoys watching Erina embarrass herself with wearing an old coat, a bathing suit in public, and admitting that she admires someone. Alice also attempts to educate Erina on the concept of love despite not knowing about it herself. In the end, Erina decides to focus on perfecting her cooking instead of understanding love. Meanwhile, the girls at Polar Star Dormitory are practically dying from the summer heat and stress for the Autumn Elections Preliminaries, and make a few failed attempts to cool down until the boys, including the Aldini brothers and Ikumi, arrive and take them to a cool stream where they eat shaved ice, and then barbeque. Likewise, Jun is prepared to pass out from heat stroke until Hayama generously makes her some cold porridge with soup.

This episode takes place sometime after the second season, after the first years completed their Stagiaire assignments. The Polar Star dorm residents, along with the Aldini brothers, Ikumi, Kurokiba, and Hayama, take a trip to the hot springs inn where Megumi did her Stagiaire. Arriving at the Inn, Megumi and Isshiki showcased their table tennis finesse. With all of the Inn's cooks suffering accidents, the Polar Star gang and the others took over the kitchen for the arriving guests: Erina, Alice and Hisako; who are impressed by the finely crafted meal supposedly made by amateurs, not knowing it is made by Tōtsuki students. Yukihira, intrigued by the legendary fish dubbed the 'River Master' in the nearby river, invite Kurokiba and Hayama to a fishing match, much to the chagrin of Takumi who tries hopelessly to catch up to them; only to be dragged along in the water and coming back empty-handed. Later at night, Megumi inadvertently met Erina in the hot springs bath, realising that the meal that she and the others cooked is for Erina.
4
"Tōtsuki Elite Ten"
"Tōtsuki Jukketsu" (遠月十傑) July 4, 2017
This episode takes place after the Stagiaire event and just before the start of the third season. The Autumn Election quarter-finalists meet the Elite Ten Council at the annual Autumn Leaves Viewing event, excluding Erina, who sits with her fellow freshmen. With the exception of Megumi, the antagomism between the first years are apparent, until the Elite Ten shows up; displaying a much more tense resentment towards each other. Immediately, Soma extends a Shokugeki challenge to all of them, but they simply laugh it off, all except the Eight Seat, Kuga Terunori, who jokingly asks Soma to try and show some skill that outshines him cooking-wise for him to accept a challenge. The Fourth Seat, Akanegakubo Momo, made them all a sweet treat for the meeting, which gave the freshmen a glimpse of how far ahead the Elite Ten chefs are. Nonetheless, taking this experience to heart, they became much more persevered, and Soma looks for and awaits the opportunity for Kuga to live up to his word.

Kath & Kim is a character-driven multi-award-winning Australian television satirical situation comedy.
The program was created by its stars Jane Turner and Gina Riley, who play the title characters of suburban mother Kath Day-Knight, a cheery middle-aged woman and her self-indulgent daughter Kim Craig. The other main characters are Kath's boyfriend and, later, husband, the metrosexual Kel Knight, Kim's husband Brett Craig, and her lonely, overweight "second-best friend" Sharon Strzelecki. The series is set in Fountain Lakes, a fictional suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. It is primarily filmed in Patterson Lakes.[1]
There were four 8-part series (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2007), a telemovie (2005), and a feature film (2012). The series also spawned a short-lived American version.

History[edit]
The characters of Kath, Kim (created by Riley and Turner) and Sharon (created and played by Magda Szubanski[2]) first featured in the early 1990s as a weekly segment of the Australian comedy series Big Girl's Blouse (Seven, 1994–95).[3] They also appeared in Something Stupid (Seven, 1998).[3]
The skits were developed by Riley and Turner into a full series. The first series of Kath & Kim premiered on ABC TV on 16 May 2002, with three further series following, while a television movie, entitled Da Kath and Kim Code, was broadcast nationally on 25 November 2005. Kath & Kim has garnered much critical acclaim since its debut, winning two Logie Award, for "Outstanding Comedy Programme" and the "Best Television Drama Series" award at the Australian Film Institute Awards. In Australia, it has become a pop-culture phenomenon, and is a success with audiences nationwide. Internationally, the series has spawned a cult fanbase.
Fourth series[edit]
The fourth series of Kath & Kim began airing on the Seven Network on 19 August 2007, due to the contract expiring with ABC. The first episode of series four attracted an Australian audience of 2.521 million nationally,[4] the highest rating ever for a first episode in the history of Australian television,[4] until the series premiere of Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities in 2009 with 2.58 million viewers.[5]
American version[edit]
Main article: Kath & Kim (U.S. TV series)
Due to the success that Kath & Kim has achieved internationally, it was remade for US audiences by NBC.[6][7][8] Riley and Turner served as executive producers on the US version. In this remake, actress Molly Shannon has taken the role of Kath Day,[9] and Selma Blair the role of Kim.[10] The character of Sharon does not appear at the insistence of Szubanski.
NBC chose Jason Ensler to direct. Michelle Nader developed the series for American television, which premiered in the United States as part of the Fall schedule of 2008. The series started to shoot in California in July 2008. NBC debuted the US adaptation on 9 October 2008, while Seven started screening it to Australian viewers on 12 October 2008. After airing only two episodes, Seven dropped the sitcom from their lineup due to poor ratings, only to bring it back several weeks later as a late-night schedule filler. In America, reviews were poor, but it averaged roughly around 5 to 7 million viewers per week, and was rewarded with a full season order in October 2008.[11][12] On Tuesday, 19 May 2009, NBC announced that there would not be a second season of "Kath & Kim".
2012 Film[edit]
Main article: Kath and Kimderella
On 9 March 2011, Turner and Riley announced plans for a movie, in which, Kath, Kim, Kel, Brett, Sharon and Epponnee would head overseas on holiday. Contracts were written to finance the film's production under the working title of The Kath & Kim Filum, with the word 'film' deliberately misspelt with the letter 'u' in typical Kath and Kim humour.[13] However, the title Kath & Kimderella was ultimately used, and the film was released in Australia on 6 September 2012.[14] It was directed by Ted Emery (director of the television series) and produced by Rick McKenna. The holiday scenes were shot in Positano, Italy and filming took a total of two weeks.[15]
The film was released in Australian cinemas on 6 September 2012.[14] It grossed in excess of $2.1 million in its first weekend on Australian movie screens.[16]
Re-runs[edit]
In 2017, the rights to the series were acquired by the Nine Network which began airing repeats of the series from 1 August 2017.[17]
Premise[edit]
The Day "townhouse" in Fountain Lakes, suburban Victoria (taken outside of filming).
Kath & Kim follows the day-to-day Australian suburban life of Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner), her only child Kimberly (Kim) Diane Craig née Poole (Gina Riley), Kim's husband and Computa City salesman, Brett Craig (Peter Rowsthorn), Kath's love interest and eventual husband who works as a "purveyor of fine meats", Kel Knight (Glenn Robbins), and long-time family friend Sharon Strzelecki (Magda Szubanski).
The main setting is Kath's townhouse in Fountain Lakes. It is taped in a house in the waterfront street of Lagoon Place, Patterson Lakes, Victoria.[1] The house's exact location is 4 Lagoon Place, Patterson Lakes, Victoria.
The storyline of first series follows Kath's engagement and plans for her wedding to Kel. Kim frequently stays in her mother's house owing to her rocky relationship with Brett (most of which is due to her own childish, spoilt, and rude behaviour towards Brett). Sharon's always around with a helping hand and her own relationship problems. Her history with Brett is also explored.
The second series follows Kim's pregnancy and her rekindled relationship with Brett. Kath and Kel's relationship goes through some teething troubles. Kim and Brett have a baby in the final episode of the second series whom they name Epponn'knee-Raelene Kathleen Darlene Charlene Craig, shortened to Epponn'knee-Rae. Several episodes of the third series focus on Epponn'knee-Rae. The third-season finale features an adult Epponn'knee-Rae, played by Kylie Minogue.
Storylines follow the characters' day-to-day lives, and document their personal struggles and the banality of their achievements and aspirations. Kath & Kim satirises the mother-daughter relationship and the habits and values of modern suburban Australians, and emphasises the kitsch and superficial elements of contemporary society, particularly the traditional working class which has progressed to a level of affluence (or "effluence" as quoted by Kath) which previous generations had been unable to achieve. Despite this affluence, good taste and a sense of cultural sophistication still eludes the titular characters.
They visit places such as the Westfield Fountain Gate (some parts filmed at Westfield Southland), the local IKEA, Target, and various local restaurants.
It also occasionally mocks Australian and international mass popular culture, such as popular reality television shows Big Brother and Australian Idol. It sometimes makes statements about Australian politics. The crass and embarrassing behaviour of the characters, and their gaudy, out-dated fashion sense are popular features of the show. Processed and widely recognised Australian foods, such as Jatz crackers, Tim Tams and Fruiche yoghurt are frequently referenced in the series.
Catch phrases[edit]
The highly developed alternative vocabulary including the mixed metaphors, hypercorrection, malapropisms and mis-pronunciations of the regular characters are much-repeated by the show's fans. These include: "Look at moy" (look at me)—used by Kath to command attention during arguments, and "It's noice, different and unusual"—used by Kath, Kim and Sharon to express approval or agreement.
Costuming[edit]
Second-hand shops were used for Kath's clothing, whereas Kim was dressed in current trends.[18]

Episodes[edit]
Main article: List of Kath & Kim (Australian TV series) episodes
The title sequence shows the main five regular characters over a white background. In Series 3, it was amended to include Epponnee-Rae and Cujo. The five regular cast members are then credited over aerial shots of suburban houses. Szubanski is credited as "Special Guest Star," despite appearing in every episode. The theme song is "The Joker," performed by Gina Riley. A re-recording of it debuted in the telemovie opening sequence and has continued into Series 4.
Twenty-four episodes lasting approximately twenty-five minutes each across three series aired on ABC TV from 2002 to 2004. The series debuted on 15 May 2002 on the ABC Network with "Sex" and became one of the highest rated shows for ABC.[citation needed] A replacement of a full series occurred in 2005 with the telemovie Da Kath & Kim Code. The fourth series of Kath & Kim premiered on 19 August 2007 at 7:30 pm on the Seven Network with a total of eight episodes. As of late 2009, they've announced that writing has begun on Series 5.[19] In May 2010, when asked if there would be more Kath and Kim, Turner replied: "We sort of felt like it was the end two years ago. We thought, ‘We’ve done enough and the well is dry and we can’t think of any more ideas’ … We think we might just leave it for now."[20]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2007)
Kath & Kim premiered on 16 May 2002 and became one of ABC's highest rated shows. When the show premiered on the Seven Network, it became the highest rating episode in Australian television history, until the record was broken by Nine Network's Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities on 9 February 2009. The fourth series of Kath & Kim debuted with a record breaking 2.511 million viewers peaking at 2.731 million. In its second and third episodes viewers fell to 1.994 & 1.817 million respectively, however viewers then rebounded for its fourth and fifth episodes with ratings of 2.047 & 2.157 million respectively. Strong ratings continued with viewers of 2.049 and 2.066 million for the sixth and seventh episodes. The eighth episode and series finale rated 2.338 million giving the fourth series an average viewership of 2.122 million, making it the highest rating series in Australia for 2007 and the highest rating of all four series of the show.[citation needed]
Channel Seven have since started showing repeats of the show from series one onwards which had previously only aired on the ABC network. The repeats have proved quite successful, rating 1.465 and 1.530 so far, winning in a very competitive timeslot and being amongst the highest rating shows of the week.[21]
