I Love Mummy

So maybe it's a bit cheesy and dumb and it screams(CANADIAN!) But I like it! It's so cheesy it's funny, my friend and I both love it! So what if you don't like it? There's always something funny going on in the show. You have to admit that.

Let me ask you this question. Would YOU be able to act on T.V.? I know how hard it is so please if you can't act yourself don't critize what other people's acting skills! Thank you, Selena

Not a bad show, but not a good one either. It was just lukewarm; not awful enough to be remembered, which was its biggest crime. There were, in fact, some good episodes (the one with the resurrected palace slave stands out), but the scattered bits of wit and clever ideas are buried under some ultra-low cheap production values (especially for Canadian TV, which isn't exactly known for its spit and polish) and overly broad comedy and acting.

If they'd gone for a "Big Wolf On Campus" approach (no laugh track, some actual production value) it could have had a longer and possibly more successful run. There were solid ideas and the fish out of water approach is a TV staple, but I LOVE MUMMY remains a missed opportunity.

I feel compelled to write this comment because of the review by 'Floormatt'! What is he talking about????

The show is stupidly funny! Goofy! Old school! Reminds me of the stuff I watched when I was younger like 'Bewitched' and 'I dream Of Genie'. The guy who plays Nuff is really surreal and unique. At first you watch the show and can't quite get your head into the comedy, but as soon as you do, you realize that Nuff is CRAZY!! He has his own style that makes him sooo different to other sit-coms on at the moment.

We had it on here in the UK for a while, and it is a shame that it isn't showing anymore. But again, you can't call this show CRAP?? It shows that you didn't 'get' it. It is a show trying to be different and yet feel familiar at the same time.

Think about it. Any show that has a 'CHAMPION MONKEY WRESTLER' in it must be good?!!!

Check it out. It is a shame they don't make shows like this any more.

I love 'I Love Mummy'!! I think it's hilarious!! And the mummy (Nuff) speaking in a 'proper' English accent is genius!! It really made me smile in the morning!! Elyes Gabel is fantastic as Nuff, and is currently starring in BBC's Casualty, where I can assure you, he plays a very gorgeous character (I especially like his hair!)!! A lot of people find this show extremely unfunny but I think quite the opposite!! The actors act very well the parts of the family who Nuff stays with and it's especially funny when they dress up for a special occasion. The little guy who befriends Nuff is very talented for a young actor and his big sister is a typical teen girl!!

Not one of the best quality shows, but a good watch if your looking for rather over-the-top humor. Watching it just once may sour your taste for it, but watching more then one episode will get you attached to the interesting characters in no time.
