But, take out all the things that make it post-watershed, and put it at teatime on BBC1 on a Saturday night. I'm not sure if the concept is good enough for it to be at 10pm on a weeknight.

Clearly no one is watching (or no one feels strongly enough about it one way or the other to post).
I totally agree with your suggestion to move it to Sat tea time, It pretty much is The Goodies.
It must be terrible to record all the episodes of a series and then see reviews after ep 1 and think "but they are all like that - it doesn't get any better".
I remember watching the dire Horne and Corden sketch show first episode and seeing the scathing reviews and feeling a bit sorry for them - reading the reviews and knowing that there were 5 more equally awful episodes to come.
I do honestly think these "Badult" guys would be good on kids tv.

Horne & Corden started well in the ratings, then kind of went into freefall, losing almost half of it's viewers throughout the series.
They would be good on kids TV, but on Badults, the jokes just aren't good enough. They also had to bleep out '****' as well, what was the point of that? Shouldn't have included it in the first place.
Not sure how a previous poster compared them to the IT Crowd. It's nothing alike imo.
It may be better if they let loose a bit more and made it more into a part sitcom part sketch show as it's obvious they're trying to shoehorn in some sketches into it anyway.
Biggest pile of shit i've seen on tv in a long time! Simply not funny nor enjoyable.
When you have class like Him and Her how the hell can this programme get commissioned?! It's tragically awful. Pure embarassment for BBC, BBC3 and all the cast involved.
I can't believe great comedy like 'Mongrels' gets cancelled and utter tripe like this gets commissioned. There is genuinely funnier stuff on the CBBC channel.
Because BBC commissioning editors are notorious for commissioning or de-commissioning using their personal taste and to hell with everyone else
dare I mention Pulling

I haven't seen the second episode yet but the first one had me in fits of laughter while I was riding a train to London. It's comedy but of a more sophisticated kind than you traditionally see these days. I really hope more people give this a chance it has potential. I can't wait to see the second episode later.

I don't see the similarities between this and Frasier, personally. Badults is to comedy what eating deadly nightshade is to a healthy diet.

Sophisticated? Now, that's funny.
Badults is cretinous rubbish.
The constant promotion of it on BBC3 between American Dad and Family Guy is so desperate.
The pathetic trailer tells you all you need to know about this embarrassment.
I just don't think this works as a post-watershed show. I've mentioned it before, take out all the swearing and anything inappropriate and stick it at teatime on BBC1 on a Saturday - it's bound to get more viewers and it'll be more suited there.

Something from 40 years ago anyway.
I watched it just to see if it got any better, but after 5 minutes i turned over.

Yes, it's never going to earn a place in the pantheon of sitcom greats but it's harmless enough fun

Because last summer they were getting reviews like this- http://www.chortle.co.uk/shows/edinburgh_fringe_2012/p/20364/pappys%3A_last_show_ever!/review?review=3095
They were awesome live last year.
I wonder why that hasn't translated to the TV show then.

"I fell off a ledge once"
Somebody was paid money to write that line. And it was considered good enough to feature in every preview of the show.
Just...how?
You're going to have to put up a reasonable argument
It's hard to translate comedy from live to tv. People would never believe how good at stand up John Bishop and Sarah Millican are just from tv.
