I don;t know if anyone remembers but there was an RTE "comedy" back in the early 90's set in a newspaper office, I think it was called extra extra or something. The editor kept dreaming about this rabbit character. It was without doubt the worst programme they have ever made.
It still not as bad as that prograam that was about some gobsh!te teaching foreigners english. That was muck and the poorest attempt at a "the office" style rip off ever!!
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Here are some outright puke productions:
Garda Patrol
Mart and Market
Live at Three
Bosco
Folio
Anything to do with Bunny Carr
A Country Practice (Australian)
Winning Streak.
One can dig up an archive that would be so vomit inducing that the odours would knock a horse and force Mary Harney to declare a state of emergency in the health system!!![]()
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
Without seeking to exculpate anyone deserving of a ball-flicking for crimes against culture, is there not a point to be made that RTÉ is not wholly divorced from all of us; that maybe the present discussion could alternatively be framed as the worst show we have ever made?
Now while I'm all for personal accountability, by the same token maybe that implies that we aren't 100% entitled to (dis)contentedly pontificate about or disassociate ourselves from the inflicted horrors, before ourselves embarking on a quest:
Can Foot.ie imagine concepts and programmes that might woo RTÉ?
It sounds like a good idea to my (albeit weary) brain and we've a good medium available for frank, interactive discourse. So then after we collectively indulge our creative tendencies and have a laugh for a few months we can have a poll to see if indeed RTÉ would run with Bluebeard's sitcom about five environmentalist friends living in a London apartment, Noby's home beer-making lessons, or Thunderblaster's behind-the-scenes documentary on tornado-chasing.![]()
Slightly more seriously, it should be a bit of craic to see what we could come up with it. If no one else does it in the mean time I'll start a thread tomorrow if I get a chance.
Its unfair to pick on old shows as thats like saying old football teams useless compared to todays.
So, who's going to be watching An Audience with Katherine Lynch?, the highlight of everybody's Christmas I'm sure..

only if the audience members are a pack of ravenous wolves who've been starved for a month
I'd love that but unfortunately they're "Irish celebs". Should be a right laugh I'd say..maybe we can get the wolves to take them all out. Where could one source 50 wolves I wonder?.
*Please note that this a hypothetical scenario and should any unfortunate wolf related accidents occur on the day in question then any similarility to events described in this post shall be entirely coincidental and unintentional*.

I've seen ads for "Nightlive" and "Project Ha Ha" over the last week or so, and they look like dead certs for a mention on this thread within 5 minutes of first broadcast.
smoke and mirrors, watched the first episode out of interest, 1/2 an hour i have lost forever, had to be the worse TV i had ever seen, thought the hip hop dancers were just a feature for that episode, untill i seen them in every advert for the show after that, they seemed to be the main part of it, and your one singing at the end with instument i cant spell, awful awful awful
