    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.

    I remember that progamme alright and it was terrible but considering the amount of years that have passed and the advances made in quiz shows,TV cameras etc,Colm & Jim Jim's Home Run leave it for dust in the worst ever catagory

    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!!

    Those shows where they actually showed the inside of Bosco's box were riveting.

    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.

    I'd watch monkey knife fights as Mr.A has suggested.

    Surely you jest, A Country Practice was great lunchtime fare long before Neighbours was flavour of the month. You are going to tell me The Sullivans (1910s Austrialia was also rubbish too ?

    Come to think of it, Jason Byrne's short lived series was horrendous.

    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.

    If they took Andrew Maxwell off that show it would be alot better!. Worst comedian i've ever seen, yet some people love this man.

    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
