I thought tonight was very poor. Really let down by terrible acting across the board and unbelievable situations. Plus I'm so fed up with the audience going "ohhhhh"

I think it was an enjoyable enough episode. The Marijuana stuff was good.
My problem was they tried to cram too much into one episode. Grandad coming back from hospital despite us not knowing why he went, Wash & Blow burning down for whatever reason, Cathy's boyfriend and Bono getting bullied at school. They could have spread it out over a few episodes if Brendan was willing to write a series. |

We were led to believe in the Christmas episode that Grandad had a serious condition which maybe life threatening. And yet he returns home apparently fine without much worry and is given medical marijuana.

I have to agree the acting in MBBs is very poor and wooden. O'Carroll is ok but the rest are very very amateurish.

If you listen carefully, only Mrs Brown is allowed to swear. If all of the characters were swearing, particularly the younger ones, you could accuse it of being a "vulgar" sitcom but it's quite clever in allowing only the elderly matriarch figure to do so.
Regularly hear the other casts members swear... Folks being outraged by swearing are antique and need to get back to the obvious 60's they came from! |

The New Year's Day episode was a vast improvement on the Christmas Day one.

They all swear. There isn't a limit from BBC Comedy on the production of how many swears they can have. Only that c*** is off limits and MF MUST be justified and signed off by Charlotte Moore.

You never hear any of the other characters use the 'F' word, only Mrs Brown uses it.....I don't think we've ever heard the likes of Buster, Maria or Mark use a single swear word in five years on the show and others such as Dermot very rarely.

Cathy's said "**** it" more than once and it's been said by others when they keep in the bloopers.

They have definitely used the 'F' word with an 'e' on odd occasions but that's hardly considered swearing at all in Ireland : it was used all the time in Father Ted for example which wasn't known for being a sitcom with bad language. There was even a 'Fexit' headline in the newspaper Agnes was reading in the live episode.

Elsewhere, the Christmas Day edition of Mrs Brown was the second most watched programme on the night: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/c...atings-9559275 If anyone doesn't already know how the cast are related: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-...boys-related-5 |

watched the first episode and barely raised a smile apart from the xmas trees and his son calling him grandad. The second i got very bored with and switched off. Its like watching a repeat.
Cant see this prog being repeated in twenty years and treated as a top comedy. |
