Mrs Brown Boys

Denn Forever · February 21, 2011, 06:15:58 PM

I see its on BBC1 tonight. Is it only on BBCNI? I wonder how it is/will be received in England?
A new Father Ted?

23:35 Mrs Brown's Boys (T) New series. Comedy, written by and starring Brendan O'Carroll. A doting mother-of-six constantly interferes in her children's lives while also running a fruit and veg stall and caring for her aged father-in-law. Agnes Brown tries to mend her son Dermot's relationship problems by giving his girlfriend advice, and Grandad ends up in hospital after Dr Flynn's effort to read his temperature goes awry. With Paddy Houlihan

Got huge viewing figures on RTE watched one or two myself didn't find it funny

If it's received well in England it would be the opposite of Father ted as that was first shown in England.

My parents giggled and giggled through it.

I thought it was rubbish, on a par with Give My Head Peace.

Agreed, about as funny as syphilis if you ask me, O'Carroll is a total gobshite.

May I echo the above sentiments 1 million per cent.

Will be interesting to see how it is received in Britain.

Massive on RTE like Kilnaskully was but I never say the attraction in either. Must be a comedy snob.

At least Pat Short is a likeable fella. Something really annoying about Brendan O'Carroll.

It's funny that 2FM were playing this 20 years ago and all of a sudden RTE1 decide to commission a series of it.

It's brutal shite and he's a bigger tossed than Brendan Grace and that Byrne w**ker put together

It is being shown in England ,but an hour earlier than here. Some of you guys should lighten up, have you never met an Irish mother like that? You all probably like the Savage eye which is real rubbish,

On Mooney today on Radio 1 - the english papers gave it a good enough review.

Denn Forever · August 25, 2011, 10:36:24 PM

I know I shouldn't but I find it funny.

boojangles · August 25, 2011, 10:42:58 PM

Horse manure. But obviously appealling to some people.

DownFanatic · August 26, 2011, 01:21:28 AM

Pure dung. Not funny at all.
