Sister Said

This is the saddest thing I've seen on Tv in ages! There's no reason at al to watch this piece off crap! I personally want to sue the producers off this show for stealing 30minutes off my life! To be short: This is a utter piece of crap!

I tend to stay awake late and "enjoy" late night tv. I can survive 2 episodes of LAPD: life on the beat, I can survive Walker, texas ranger, and I even live through that aussie women's prison series (though I do hate the hairdo's and the clothing very much).

BUT, they found the ultimate method of trying to make me shut off the tv. Something so awful as to make me wonder if it will render me hearing impared, or give me the shakes whenever I see a tv set. It is called Sister said, and it is the foulest production ever made.

There is a bunch of dull & silly girls, doing dull & silly things and inbetween they sing dull & silly songs. The same songs, over and over again. There is a short scene, a song, a scene, a song, etc for ever and ever. They don't sing that well, need I add?

My best guess is that this (hopefully) is the least successful attempt ever to launch a girlband.

My worst is that it is an ancient form of torture: "Drives ANYone Mad In Merely 30 MINUTES!!!"

Worst crap I EVER SAW.

And I dare say none will beat it.

I also feel proud that I actually sat through 4 straight episodes of it (who would air it? who would send 4 episodes on a row (4-6 a.m.) - swedish TV3!). Ohno, they couldn't break me! (insane laughter)

I loved it I used to watch it with my youngest who used to sing the songs

The Norwegian comment comes from someone who is probably very young. My wife and I - probably much older than the target audience for the show - remember this show with great affection - it was funny, inventive, interestingly directed, and genuinely charming. My wife in particular enjoyed it - "That's what girls are REALLY like!" she would say at some point every time we watched an episode.

All the leads were good - its surprising perhaps none of them has ever 'made-it' elsewhere - but then their performances were so naturalistic (even within the context of a wildly fantastic plot) that maybe they were playing themselves!

Anyone who liked this would have enjoyed CAVEGIRL as well, another unrecognised classic of British television. Danny Peacock is a genuine innovator - its always worth watching his material.

Stuff like this is presented as being for a young audience - but is actually much MUCH better than a lot of the comedy that is made for and presented as 'adult' material. It was always surprising, always amusing. Qualities that are distinctly lacking in the typical British - or American - sitcom.
