Mrs Browns Boys

one of the worst on t.v best comedy NOT GOING OUT the old ones

You begin to wonder whether its you just "not getting it".

The world really would be coming to an end if, say, John Bishop - the hilarious Scouse comedian - got his own chat show having in depth conversations with "troubled" Z list celebrities...

I watched it out of curiosity, I lasted about 6 minutes and turned it off. I also just cannot understand how anyone would find that show the slightest bit amusing.

Thank God for that - not just me then.

I can sit back and watch the episodes of Loose Women and Judge Grinder I recorded earlier in peace now...

Its slapstick humour for thick people. Thick people watch it basically, 10 million of them.

dire, not a patch of Father Ted.

When was the last great British or Irish comedy? most sitcoms these days are rubbish and usually get canned after 1-3 series.

Only seen excepts in trailers between other programmes on BBC. It would appear to be utter ****.

On par with the other BBC **** programme -  Citizen Khan.
Truly dreadful on EVERY level

The original MBB was great on stage in Liverpool. Have to agree it is awful on telly.

See they have merged it into a "chat" show the first episode was on Sat,Dire with Pamela Anderson (third rate actress with a pair of fake tits) and Judy Murray (who has a couple of sons who play raquet ball,no comparison to tits please).

My other half enjoys the show and is going to see it live in Glasgow on Saturday where they have sold out four shows in 2 days at the Hydro

Appears the sort of absolute stranger dangers that like 'Little Britain' also like this absolute ****.

Facts - I'm with you 100% on that. I would also add things like 'The Only Way Is Essex'' which I consider probably the worst TV programme ever made and find it depressing that it won some sort of TV award a few years ago. The problem is that these sort of programmes pander to the dregs of our society and we really need to educate are youngsters to appreciate the arts a lot more than we do now.

Was I just unlucky and hit a particularly weak episode - or is it always utter sh1te?

The latter!

Scandi asks "When was the last great British or Irish comedy? most sitcoms these days are rubbish and usually get canned after 1-3 series"

I'll give you one from each side of the water

In the tricolour corner fighting out of Boyle, County Roscommon I give you the deliciously understated "Moone Boy"

And in the red, white and blue corner the undisputed genius of Nick Helm in "Uncle"

I liked The I.T Crowd although that is going back 4 years now since it ended.  Mrs Browns Boys on Saturday was dire though, I noticed he unashamedly nicked the line from Norm in Cheers but switched the sexes.  Men...can't live with them..............

My favourite series at the moment is Peep Show, the character Jeremy played by Robert Webb is pure comedy gold.

Fortunately never watched it and I don't see that changing after reading this

slippy it's probably my all time fave - the last season is probably the weakest imo, but that would still surpass many comedies best seasons!

Hank, Peep Show genuinely makes me laugh out loud. Super Hans is another great comedy character.

Definitely slippy - I have woken my wife up because I was laughing so hard at an episode - and that is no mean feat

You have a favourite season slippy? probably 4 for me with 'Handyman', 'Holiday' and 'Wedding'

Big Suze

And Johnson

A great show.

The show is an absolute stain on the Irish nation.

Its about as funny as an aids diagnosis

The sickening thing about this programme is that, he has  his family in it as well !!!!, irrelevant of their acting ability, of which there isn't any. When you see these young kids in local theatre and theatre school, working there nuts off to get in TV and theatre, its sickening that these useless actors get on because of there prodigy..Take for example, Birds of a feather, where the hopeless Linda Robson, has her even more Hopeless son working (i won't say acting) in the programme , and Tom conti's daughter, who is  what i'd call an alternative ventrilaquist, which means her lips move, FFS its embarrasing.

Take away the crudeness and foul language (I can swear but don't like hearing it on the box) and it would have the potential to be a moderately funny show.

a sh.t comedy one of the worst ever

Utter Sh1te.

I agree with any comment which includes excrement.

Sounds like they saved all the complexity for their tax returns.

The amount of money these actors are paid for this tripe is mind-boggling. £500 a week would be too much.

The mind boggles, how can such talentless actors be millionaires ?

A waste of license-payers' money. Why is it the BBC are able to pay these people free of UK tax?

It's feckin' awful - end of thread
