Always Greener was an Australian television drama/comedy series that aired on the Seven Network which followed the fortunes of two families, one from the city and the other from the country, when they decide to switch homes and start a new direction in life for themselves.
Promotion of the show's premiere episode used the Travis song "Side", which features the phrase as part of the chorus.
Each faced with problems of their own, John Taylor pays his sister Sandra Todd a Christmas visit to her farm.
Joking that they should consider switching houses for a change in their life, the move becomes a reality when John discovers that his daughter Marissa is on drugs and Sandra can't pay the bills.
Fantasy sequences (such as a song and dance number when John mulls over having a vasectomy) were common and often added to the charm of the series.
Jones (14 episodes) Clayton Watson won the Australian Film Institute's award for "Best Actor in a Supporting or Guest Role in a Television Drama" for his work on Always Greener in 2002.
