Mrs Brown's boys

Terrible news today:

Brendan O’Carroll has announced the Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas and New Year’s specials have been cancelled as he faces an “unexpected medical issue”.

Is it an issue with his funny bone needing a transplant?

Taste is a personal thing.
I've seen small clips of Mrs Browns Boys and thought it utter garbage. I'd honestly rather stare at a blank wall than watch it.
However, some no doubt love it.

Comedies I do rate are old stuff like Dads Army, Fawlty Towers and greatest of all Laurel and Hardy.
Most new stuff passes me by, not interested and I see a few clips and think not for me.
I did think The Royale Family was excellent.

I've seen a few clips. ok, it's not the worst piece of TV that I've ever seen. But I can't understand how they've ripped off Bread (1986-1991) so obviously and been allowed to air it.

I find it about as funny as a cup of cold sick, it's just dire.

The first few episodes were mildly amusing but it’s way past it’s sell by date now.

Hopefully this will be the end of it. I know I don't have to watch it and there are choices etc ... but I resent the licence fee going on this awful dated garbage.

I've never seen it. Which doesn't say much either way as I've never seen lots of things, some of which are said to be good, and others less so good.

I do have a telly tho. Just to be clear.

If all we need is for someone to break his jaw around this time every year, it shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to organise this for the greater good.

The one that got me was Miranda Hart.

Her entire thing appeared to be

"Hello, I am Miranda and I'm big and clumsy... Oh oops!! I have just fallen over again, ha ha, aren't I so clumsy? Ha ha ha ha!!"

Ok, so she might be better at acting than comedy, but, still 🤦‍♂️

She did say golly a few times though, and that's not something you see much of on TV.

Golly, you are right!
