That's fine; form an opinion, post it, pass on by. That's what I do with bloody awful programmes like little britain, come fly with me, big school or derek. ..................
But you've never watched the entire series to know if it wears thin. As far as I can tell you've watched one episode and an out of context 4 minute clip and based your entire opinion on that.
Time and time and time again.
I've seen a few clips of Geordie Shores on various shows here and that. From that I conclude it to be absolute mind numbing bollocks aimed at the absolute lowest common denominator. Therefore I do not watch it and certainly don't feel the need to comment ad nauseum on its thread.
But I'm sure everyone on here will also spare a thought for unfortunate you when you're watching it religiously each week.
The humour of a man dressed as an old woman, swearing and acting vulgar wears thin after about 30 seconds - if that - so there would be no need to watch an entire series to establish that. I've watched one full episode and several little snippets. I can't really win - if I had watched more people would be saying 'why do you keep watching if you don't like it?'
I've given my analysis of it which matches any review I've seen of any other episodes. That means I'm fairly confident that the episodes I haven't seen are in the same vein as the ones I have. If I am incorrect please feel free to explain why or point me in the direction of an episode/clip which may show something positive or different about the show which I have missed.
I'm a massive comedy fan and normally give comedies several chances as sometimes we don't 'get' a comedy on first viewing. That's why I keep going back every few months and watching clips of this show with an open mind - to see if there's something I'm missing. I'm happy to be proved wrong here and would love to find out I'm missing out on a comedy gem with 23 great episodes for me to catch up on. Everything I've seen myself and read about the show suggests otherwise though.
The clip was around 4-minutes long and did indeed revolve around the premise that Mrs Brown had eaten a curry the night before and was farting and running to the toilet a lot.[...] the more adult outcome of the glue/air freshener swap which occurs here is that Mrs Brown's friend ends up with her head glued face down between Mrs Brown's legs, begging Mrs Brown not to fart
I quite enjoy the naff show but even I thought that scene was pathetic.
That may in fact be bogus or misleading information. Brendan said in an interview only on Monday or Tuesday that he may well do another series for the BBC.

You keep mentioning the vulgarity or coarseness of Mrs Brown but there is a lot more to her than that. Certainly she uses the F word a lot, but much of the show centres on her one liners and putdowns of the other characters and there is a fair amount of visual slapstick humour in every episode that contains no vulgarity at all ie. Mrs Brown being accidentally tasered by a stun gun or falling from the top of her Christmas tree etc
I understand that if you like a show it must be difficult to hear it criticised by others but there has to be a sense of realism and unbiased thought when analysing a show, whether you like the show or not.
It's not difficult but your constant criticism is frankly weird, fine say you don't like it but to keep coming back again and again and arguing it.
This thread is being spoiled as no one can now make a comment about the show without you constantly giving your negative.
Why is 'amount of viewers' not correct? I hate incorrect use of English so I apologise if I've used a phrase there which is wrong.
Amount - items counted in bulk; number - items counted individually. The amount of time it took the small number of people to cross the bridge was surprising :-)
This may be a misunderstanding or misleading. Brendan was asked at the start of the week whether reports saying there would not be a fourth series were true and he replied he was leaning heavily towards making another series for the BBC.
He told ITV's This Morning today that rumours of the show's demise were based on a misunderstanding of an interview his son Danny ('Buster' in the series) gave and that he has every intention of making new episodes.
Mum had the second half of the Christmas special on this evening. Now, I've always said I've not found this show funny but shock horror! I genuinely laughed at a bit of the show today!
I liked both specials a lot. I know it gets a hard time off some people, but I like the silly humour. The cast all seem really close (I know a lot are family) and that shines through on screen. When you have had a hard day sometimes it's nice to just switch your brain off for a while. Sometimes I want to watch BBC four and learn something and sometimes I just want to watch a show with a few knob gags and slapstick .
Ive had a busy 2014 so dipped in and out, mainly I have enjoyed the show and how stupid it is! its written well. I like the randomness of it plus they leave in the mistakes and the messing around that they do so it shows they dont take themselves seriously. Maybe Im alone in thinking this (my views on here never are that popular lol) but this is why I like Mrs Browns Boys because its outragous, off the wall and different. Its like one of your whacky mates who is always making you laugh
The BBC has signed up for Mrs Brown Christmas specials until 2020.
After the fantastic two this year I am glad this is happening, I hope that if it does start to lose it's charm that Brendan will say no if he needs to.
Mrs Browns ....is and will be one of those momentous TV shows whether u like it or not.....u got to give it to them they have a good thing going....I love it, none of my family do, so I am a secret pleasure victim....my TV Xmas highlights in this order.....last tango in Halifax, Stella, Mrs Browns, Dr who.

That's great news and Brendan has strongly hinted that he intends to make regular episodes (ie. a fourth series) as well.

Revision to my previous post :
I did, twice.
Is it?

Yeah I have to agree it was far from the show's finest moment, even by MBB standards.

We know you don't like it.

Not me-although I went to see MBB Da Movie twice.
I like it, it's just daftness and old fashioned.

That seems to be the same every single year. The New Year episode is always funnier than the Christmas one.
