Bro' Town Premiere date: Monday, 11 Monday, 2008 at 22h30
Bro’ Town is New Zealand’s first adult animated series. A modern day fairytale about five Auckland teenagers growing up in the big bad city, Bro’ Town chronicles the school misadventures of Vale, Valea, Sione, Mack and Jeff da Maori in a suburban, non-pc satire.
Vale, Valea, Jeff da Maori, Sione and Mack live in the suburb of Morningside and attend the local college, St Sylvester's. Vale and Valea (loosely translates to dumb and dumber) are two brothers, living in a single-parent household with their father Pepelo, a benefit bludging, occasional fork-hoist driver with a love of beer and gambling.
Vale has a strong social conscience while Valea is more interested in pashing the girls, but both brothers believe in having a strong solidarity with their boys.
Sione is Vale and Velea's best mate and fancies himself as a bit of a ladies man. Jeff da Maori lives with his mum and eight dads in a car shell outside the house. He was brought up in the country by his auntie but then moved to the city 'for better TV reception and because the thieving colonialists stole our land'.
Rounding out the group is the softly spoken Mac who has definite gay tendencies and a knack for talking his way out of things but does stand behind his word eventually.

A cartoon sketch show featuring live-action animation hybrids.
It introduces a host of maladjusted characters including:

- the socially-inept Alan, who reacts to bland family gatherings with carefully-orchestrated destruction;
- two delinquent astronauts who delight in tormenting one another;
- a troupe of five foot tall human letters that spell foul words on the side of hills and then get arrested; and a bionic mosquito capable of sucking a dinosaur dry.
