Feckin hell that Ray Foley is the biggest waste of air time there has ever been!
He's woeful bad.
Like Superfrank, I caught the first 10 minutes of Katherine Lynch show
last night and all I can say is that useless unfully waste of space robbed
me of 10 minutes of my life.
Saw a bit of Makin Jake the night before ... this must be the end of that lads
"comedy career".
RTE should refund licence fees until they start earning them!
RTE should be made show where the licence fee money is being spent. It is ridiculous that it just gets dumped into large pool. Maybe TV3 have tried this already but I am sure they would like to know if licence fee money being spent to price them out of commercial bids. Would anyone be happy if licence fee money being paid to Katherine Lynch... :eek:Quote:

She reminds me of the kind of woman that wears a GAA mayo jersey and is all ways "only having the craic" and thinks going "OOOO HO HO GOWAN" is funny.
Women are not funny if she was hot you might watch it but being old belted and fat doesnt make funny .
The english class roaring twenties makin jake dont appeal to anyone.
What about the makers' mammies? I'm sure that they thought that they were great, even though they didn't really understand, they were sure that they were very good. Now they have to finish the ironing, so leave mammy be for a few minutes...Quote:

So, if the RTÉ stats are correct, we now have an accurate figure (33) for people in Ireland who revel in seeing how bad RTÉ have become.
Jesus wept.
There are military coups that have been funnier than that abomination.
"I have a funny accent. Ha ha ha! You know, I talk funny! Ha ha ha!"
Aye. We couldn't help but notice, you noisy cow. Throw in an oul few jokes from this century if by some fluke or clerical error, you manage to get another gig, will ya?
There's a good muppet.
Now feck off.
I actually saw some of that & it was so bad I had to watch it. Pat Kenny thought she was hilarous (lets be honest he could not fake a smile) what with all her cursing & such. :rolleyes:Quote:

It was. Jan 8. And it goes to show that despite them advertising the bollicks out of it, and pegging it into a prime timespot for the genre ( immediately post the stations Highly rated Female-aimed comedy import ) over HALF of the 537 thousand Housewives viewers disappeared before it even started..Quote:

Alright. Fair enough.
My only hope now is that Neilsen gave their Rating boxes to complete fúcking morons.
Thats my only explanation.
Hmmm... Curiouser and curiouser....
1 week ago ( on imdb : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1121919/ ) Irish sitcom "The Roaring Twenties" had 3 negative text comments - including one from me : I very much enjoyed factually dissecting it's faults in print. Im funny like that - and 3 visible user ratings of 1 star (out of ten)
This week, 2 of the three negative comments have been removed (including mine) for "Abuse" , and 3 anonymous IMDB members have suddenly appeared and voted it 10 stars out of 10, which has had the effect of increasing its score from 1 star to 5.9 stars...
To be honest, I'd been trying to forget about the whole shambolic exercise, but the 'removal for abuse' email has piqued my interest again....It's bad enough that they've created one of the most terrible television programmes ever made, but to attempt a Stailinesque purge of any negativity surrounding it has made me even more determined to spread the word....
Heard that Katherine Lynch show has been commissioned for 6 more episodes!
Haha! Now that's some proper comedy from RTE.Quote:
