The Micallef Program

The Micallef Program/Programme/Pogram really is quite a unique show. It is unlike American sitcoms, classic British comedy or, to a good degree, the television show that spawned Shaun Micallef, "Full Frontal".

Micallef and his crew (Francis Greenslade, among others) pursue this unique style of humour that can perhaps be described as taking things literally and then turning them on their head. Some of the sketches are classics- the Sergeant and the Constable for instance. On occasions the strange sense of humour fails to hit its mark, but when it does, it is, to many people, very funny.

Shaun Micallef is truly a talented comedian, and it can be hoped that there will be a fourth season of The Micallef Program.

I caught an Episode of 'The Micallef Programme' by accident one day and ever since then I've been hooked. I entirely agree that there are elements of Alan Partridge, The Fast Show and Monty Python in there which just makes it all the more appealing for me.

It's original, so well written and performed and moves at a quick enough pace. The mixture of one-liners and longer sketches is an excellent one.

I too think that a mainstream UK channel should pick the series up and show it - Shaun Micallef deserves to be a huge star in the UK!!

I've managed to tape a few episodes of the second series but I would love to catch all the ones I've missed.

My favourite sketch so far is the wine cellar one. I screamed with laughter at that one.

So, to all the programme buyers at Channel 4, the BBC, ITV, SKY One - Please, please, please give this man the mainstream exposure he deserves!

By the way - I also think he's a bit of a heart-throb.

Shaun Micallef is probably the funniest comedian around at the moment. He has written and performed in so many hilarious sketches, interviews, and speeches, and he has cleverly combined them into The Micallef Programme, definitely the best Aussie show ever made. As well as Micallef being excellent, he has a strong supporting cast consisting of Francis Greenslade, Roz Hammond, and Wayne Hope. All give in fine performances, and all you can do is laugh at their comedy. But Micallef is definitely the best. He usually portrays the character of himself, which is when he is at his best. The Micallef Programme is definitely underrated, and I encourage everyone to watch it. Tune in to the ABC to watch it (Don't have to put up with commercials).

Excellent sketch comedy show, which got even better in its second series. It combines surreal humour with very clever and precise writing and production. Shaun Micallef is genuinely interesting and charismatic. The best series of sketches was probably the claymation p***take "Attentione, il est Myron", with "Sotto Voce", and the "holding the door open for people" sketch coming a close second.

I first saw the adverts for this on paramount comedy channel, so i decided to watch it thinking it would be good. I was wrong , it was'nt good it was brilliant! and probably the funniest live action programme ever made.The best thing is that it takes well known sketches and then takes the p***. My favourite ones are the interviews with guests ,"il est myron" , the documentary sketches like "holding the door open" "smoking study" and the "musician" one ,the game shows like "i bloody dare you" , "spin the globe" and "impractical jokes" and finally the silly sketches like "wine cellar" , "beret" and the "farting sketches". All in all this is the BEST australian show ever. Rating 100%
