[bloopitybloop]

I feel compelled to post. I think I'm suffering from some sort of post traumatic stress disorder. There is bad TV, and then there is such nuclear bad awfulness that I want to strap 3 kilos of semtex to myself and get the 46a to montrose right now.
The biggest insult of all is that they didn't do the decent thing and abort the whole sorry fiasco after episode 1. A repeat of fuckin' Belvedere Down's would at least have some sort of ironic appeal. The roaring twenties is an unmitigated tragedy. Shoot me now.

come back Irish Seinfeld, all is forgiven.

New Seinfeld Episode: "The Aids" (not Family Guy or Porn)

well, maybe not.

Jesus.... I didn't make the connection before....

...the whole thing is just too baffling, I can't even begin to understand how they got funded to produce such painfully bad television. On every level it's absolutely shocking.

Shame on whoever gave this the go ahead in RTE. I mean, they must have seen the Seinfeld monstrosity and STILL commissioned it. I think they should resign or be fired for such incompetence, it really is that negligent.

And Messrs Stubbs and Sullivan, while it's a free country and everyone should be...just never attempt anything like this ever again, please.

Just no.

I heard the show was commissioned based on an old video that the guys had done.
I hope that video wasn't the Irish Seinfeld one.

 

[Goff]

Story, all? Having better things to do, anyone get the 'caps of yer wan from FÁRS? Or was it all a ruse to get the viewers in?

Just saying, like....

Fucking RT Fucking E.

so amazingly awful!

It's like they saw Fear an Phoist in TG4 and said "Hey, how about we take this but change the setting to Southside Dublin suburb".

The genius of this production is that funny music let's me know when to laugh.

RTE comedy is a bit like yer granny being allowed to buy all the Santy presents. Mammy hands over all the money and she blows it on rubbish jumpers and Bible games for the Playstation 3.

And then, when both Mammy and Granny discover that you've traded the Bible game for some rubber bullets and the rubbish jumper has been used to wrap an experiment in putrefaction, you're hauled into the sitting room to be told how ungrateful you are and how hard they try.

Then they both cry and promise to offer their suffering up to the Lord, so you feel so bad that you stop asking for anything decent and just let them truss you up like Michael of Guiney.

I haven't seen the Roaring Twenties. Do I need to? Am I getting any younger?

the music! they reused 'the gonk' from the dawn of the dead
soundtrack around 3 or 4 times last night...once in the first episode

it's like they've never actually seen a proper tv show, but someone
briefly explained the format to them in a pub and told them to give
it a go

Jane, more Irish that the Irish

I think last night's one, while still unbelievably shit, was a slight improvement. The acting was just as poor, the script just as unfunny, the extras (the rent allowance guy and yer wan from the charity shop) just as irritating. It did seem a little more focused though. Also the voiceover was toned down.

You do. You'll love it. It'll be repeated next saturday.

I defended the first episode. I really didn't enjoy that last night though. It was awful.

Thats the end of that then. This time next year no one will even remember the name of the programme, let alone how bad it was.

Did it really cost 100k to make that? Where did the rest of the money go?
