Boomers

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I was quite disappointed to see that there were only two seasons of Boomers. I'm assuming that there might be some stark differences in what is considered to be funny in the US versus what is deemed humorous in the UK as I noticed a lot of poor reviews for this title. I guess that might explain the show not making it past two seasons. That, or the writers were just ahead of their time as I am watching this 10 years after it was created. I rated it a 9/10 as the pace of the show does seem to slow done at times, but overall, the writing, the acting, and the chemistry amongst the cast mates were wonderful.

Don't understand the disparaging reviews. Maybe some are out of their depth.

Boomers isn't funny? Personally I reckon series two is about the best thing on telly at the moment.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the gentle humour is clearly either too young to understand the absurdities of our generation living in the modern world - or the sort of person that watches X Factor and thinks it's entertaining or that Britain actually has talent...

OK series two was a bit slow, but most first series are like that while they iron out the kinks - New Tricks was like that for example and that went on to great things.

Boomers is good old fashioned comedy sitcom. It's not deep or intellectual but it's not designed to be. Lay back and enjoy it for what it is. I know loads of people who are just like these characters in real life!

Ah - this is prime fare for retired Waitrose farts - gentle, undemanding comedy that does not require too many brain cells to fire at the same time. The cast is good and their likeability is the key attraction of this series - it is comfortable, simplistic and pleasant waffle with the occasional musical accompaniment and a contrived amusing social situation.

There's a large amount of inconsequential nattering - it's like eavesdropping in a murder-free Midsomer. If you have the patience for it then it will probably afford you a few gentle chuckles but this is largely forgettable stodge.

I've given it a 6 because I failed to laugh at anything in it but I sort of enjoyed it all the same...

Truth is, I find Boomers very funny. Again, it is not supposed to be dramatic or intense, just something that is for the laugh. You can sit back and enjoy it with your family. Most people judges Boomers from the start but I believe that it has quite many potentials. The show does, indeed, get funnier later on in the series. The show is entertaining, wonderful cast ( mostly Philip Jackson, who I can recognize from Poirot) and is very relate-able.

I find the characters sharing personality traits that I can see in my older relatives. I believe that the people who were quick to give this show a 1 star were expecting a more dramatic, silly kind of comedy show.

Boomers is your old-fashioned sitcom, funny and relate-able.
