Moone Boy

What a gem! For those who liked "Malcom in the Middle" or "Everybody Hates Chris", "Freaks and Geeks" or "Scrubs" even, I think they'd enjoy this series a lot. It has that quirky family dynamic and coming-of-age story arc that's timeless and relatable, and kept me coming back. I cannot wait for more seasons.

It's very funny but also poignant at times, as it doesn't shy away from serious topics. It has the right amount of cutaways (i think many non laugh track sitcoms abuse this), and I love the occasional 80s soundtrack. The 'Goodfellas' episode had me laughing out loud. The only other show that makes me do that is Community. I'm so glad that it's on hulu, I hope more Americans watch this show.

This show first came to my attention on a NYS station from Long Island. I was a fan of Chris O'Dowd's, but hadn't seen or heard of any of the other cast members. From the first episode I became a fan. It's a very clever, and original, premise. One of the things I enjoy the most about the show is that even though the imaginary friend is portrayed as an adult, he doesn't have any more smarts than the schoolboy who thought him up. The fractured family dynamic, with the financial and interpersonal struggles, plays very well, too. It weaves in the charm of small Irish towns with some consistently funny writing and plots. I hope that this show sticks around for many more years, at least until Martin gets through high school, because it's one of the shows I look forward to seeing every week.

First of all I would like to point out that this is a comedy based in Ireland please everybody stop saying "British comedy". I have watched and laughed through each episode. Padric is a excellent character i knew someone just like him when i was 12! Having grown up in Ireland during this period the music the details on the set all bring my childhood rushing back to me and even though growing up in Ireland at this time was not a bed of roses its lovely to watch it with humour. in fact i watched it with my Greek husband and he thought it was brilliant! well done to Chris o Dowd I'm looking forward to the next series!

I found this show after I watched, The I.T. Crowd. ( The altar boy episode was hysterical ) > Doesn't matter that it's an Irish show, my teenagers & I loved it and we're American and its a good comedy show, period. P.S. watch " The I.T. Crowd" also, if you haven't seen it.

I'm in on anything Chris O'Dowd and Moone Boy did not disappoint. There will be lots of comparisons to Wilfred, which I've yet to watch, but the Freaks and Geeks / Wonder Years family elements really sold me. It's only a six episode season, so jump in and try not to get frustrated by the Hulu ad breaks, of which there are far too many. The group of Dads just crack me up!I loved it when they were on the dock, and the boys rode by and yelled "queers"! BUT THEN…the one dad asked "Who's got a gun?"!! And the end, when Trevor's dad shows up! This was one of the BEST scenes! I LOVE this show!!

Another comedic triumph import from across the pond.
