What a load of crap that show

Well if you took into consideration what was aired…..it was just as crap as the rest!

Unbelievable. How is this measured?

Shame on you viewers. Shame!!!

Unbelievable. I don’t know anybody who admits to watching it.

Oh Jesus.

Lordy.. it’s woeful tv. Brendan O’Carroll is as funny as getting a tooth pulled.

It’s not even funny so I am guessing the high figures were due to the fact there there was f**k all on the television so had to resort to watching that garbage ( I didn’t by the way would not waste an hour of my valuable life watching such tripe ) :)

:(

It was probably on whilst everyone was having dinner in the other room ……

It’s an awful show but is it any worse than X-Factor, I’m a Celebrity, Big Brother or whatever is the latest fad show is?

Do yourselves all a favour and support good comedy and look up Louis CK, he recently had a download DRM free show for $5, worked out as €3.84 on my credit card. Absolute bargain.

Why do we pay a licence fee when all we get from RTE is garbage like Mrs. Browns Boys. You should be allowed take RTE off your TV and pay no licence fee.

We must have been the only family who didn’t turn the TV on at all Christmas day. We managed to have a lovely day without it.

Doesn’t say a lot for what was on the box over xmas.

Compared to the savage eye and hardy bucks, mrs browns boys is a hundred times better!!!

€160 a year for utter crap like this and Wagons Den etc. Great value for money. Rte just don’t seem to have a clue nowadays.

Its bad in an unnerving, surreal way

Wow, I didn’t realise how many ppl didn’t like this show!:-0 I love it:)

Was no-one watching Sky? How is 880,000 48.6% of the total audience? Is this only for the Irish TV channels? I didn’t realize we had 880,000 villages in Ireland.

Mrs brown absolutely brilliant show can’t wait for new series rock on

Don’t know how anyone can watch that show it’s awful shit! And sure tv on every channel was shit Xmas day. thanks to the local DvD rental on St Stephans much better viewing.

Well there you have it.. irrefutable proof that some majority of TV viewers will always watch a particular channel.

160 euros every year or a fine or imprisonment for a second rate service at best, they also have the revenue from advertising, it’s no wonder that pat Kenny or finucane can be paid nearly half a million each per year.

I watched it.

I find it hard to believe that there was over 800,000 televisions in people’s homes that had mrs browns boys.

Says a lot of the standard of television offered by RTE this Christmas…films on that were shown 3years ago….

That was the top show? Good God!
It was absolutely dragging the bottom of the barrel when it comes to entertainment!
Its an embarrassment.

What a group of tossers. If u don’t watch it how do u know it’s crap. The same people constantly moaning for the sake of it. If u have a problem with it let’s see what u can come up with. If not shut the f*** up.

That show is pure shite

over 6 million people watched it in the uk on BBC 1 on boxing day!

Watched this with my parents because I couldnt say no to my Ma. Absolute Garbage! I thought it was some sort of prank until it ended and the ads came on. That’ll learn me.

I’m sorry but nearly a million people watchin THAT! What’s happened to us? I need a shower.

at least it had a christmas theme. old action and horror movies was all I could find on other channel’s . like it or loath it brendan o’carrol has achieved fantastic success with his show watched around the globe. I say fair play and thanks for the laugh.

I am shocked by the viewing figures. Completely shocked. Gay Byrne told the nation that that lame dickhead was funny and so many believed him. The jokes are all stale and telegraphed.

I think it’s the funniest programme ever to be aired on RTE even tho it is commissioned and produced by BBC we should be proud of it.. Can’t rememeber which…. Either Vernon Kay or Dermot o Leary tweeted about it the other night saying how funny it was and they will definitely be buying the 1st Series and tuning into the 2nd

We pay tv licence to watch BBC programmes, RTE didnt even back this just like FATHER TED which I think channel 4 did. Why can’t we support our own. It wasn’t that bad really.

Terrible tripe, says a lot for our tastes…that o carroll is about as funny as cancer. Genuinely can’t believe that many people watch that utter shite…

It was the one thing my mother came into the back room to tell me to “come quick and see!” The fact is there’s a large chunk of demographic that connects with and likes this show. Like killinascully, mum said that what she liked was some of the characters reminded her of people she knew or once knew in real life in communities. I suspect rhe kind of people who become heavy commenters on Internet forums and here come from a certain demographic that wouldn’t partake in the kinds of activities & lifestyle that would introduce them to characters similar to the ones portrayed, ergo the negative bias of opinion against these kinds of “community character” based TV shows.

I had the honour (yes I call it that) to congratulate Mr. O’Carroll on “the highlight of my mother’s evening”, and he said he was hearing that it was popular with the older generations.

So give the man some credit. *You* mightn’t like it, but there’s a big chunk of demographic that does. Don’t belittle them.

No wonder ireland is in d state it is wen we r watching such rubbish

I’m just back from the UK and Mrs Browns boys is huge over there, people love it…6 million watched it at Xmas.

Fair play to him. He has stuck with this tranny act for years and it has finally paid off.

I Don’t believe that nearly 1m viewers watched this tripe on xmas night viewing figures being massaged i think. Also Downton Abbey was on and thats not even mentioned in the list

If you read the anti Mrs Browns Boys comments in Mrs Browns voice its not too hard figure out where Brendan got Mrs browns character from.

Personally I love the show after I was made watch it. Before I ever watched it when i’d see little bits of it advertised I used to say to myself i’d say thats some muck. Thankfully I was wrong.. Dont know bout the rest of ye, but between 10pm & 10.30pm xmas night I fell around the place laughing.

TV in general was crap over Christmas, but no matter how bad, could not resort to watching Brendan O’Carroll!

Is there any funny sitcoms on BBC at all?think this fares well against the other current BBC sitcoms even ‘life’s too short’ was a bit scrappy.

I’m not a fan of O’Carrols stand up but in interviews he comes across as a genuine funny guy not just a self promoter desperate for a laugh.he obviously knows his target market too
Then again he’s never been cool , I remember a review in hot press slating him when he was doing the Dublin pub circuit back in the 90′s

He’s written books , produced plays & scripted a movie so he must be doing something right , some people can’t get their head around this

Watched mrs brown a couple of times & to my surprise found myself laughing
It’s no Fawlty Towers but it’s not aiming to be, it’s broad smutty humour so what? Don’t like , don’t watch

As I recall prior to Father Ted Morgan was past his best & was basically an impressionist who released unfunny novelty records

I have never read such negative comments after a simple story. All the moaning and whinging is shocking! I feel sorry for the family and friends that have to suffer the tripe you people drivel out. I’ve just made my New Years resolution now and its to stay away from whingers and moaners like you people. Away off with you all now and get some anti-depressents or something, or better still, emigrate…
