Mrs. Brown's Boys

Brendan O'Carroll as Mrs. Brown is brilliant is this series. I have seen all 6 episodes and have laughed so much I actually stopped breathing for a bit in one of the episodes. You will see many of the other characters trying to stifle laughs as I am sure much of Mrs. Brown's lines are unscripted.

Brendan O'Carroll has written several books as well as many films and stage plays.

His wife Jennifer Gibney plays his daughter Cathy Brown. Fiona O'Carroll, his daughter plays "Maria Nicholson" who is the girlfriend of son "Dermot Brown" and his sister "Eilish O'Carroll" plays Mrs. Brown's best friend "Winnie McGoogan." Danny O'Carroll plays Buster Brady but I haven't been able to confirm whether he is related to Brendan.

I hope they will be doing another season as this is one of the best comedies I have seen, if not the best.

I have to say i find this absolutely wonderful, i loved it. I love how on occasion they add a serious message, it's always bold. It's crude, it's not PC, what a breath of fresh air, Irish humour has always been something I've loved, this show simply enhances that feeling. The Matriarch Mrs Brown is stunningly portrayed, and the one liners are side splitting. How novel for a comedy to keep the outtakes in the transmission, it's great to see how much the cast seem to enjoy making it. I love the talks she has with her daughter Cathy, the actress who plays her always makes me smile and laugh for i feel she is laughing for real at many of the gags. I hope this wonderful show goes from strength to strength. 'It's a man in a dress you know, ' haha

A pity that they've decided not to make full line series, but focus on Christmas specials only, I suppose it's difficult to continually come up with new material.

Some wonderful episodes over the years, Supermammy remains the funniest to date, I can't think of anything that has made me laugh so much for a long time, I actually cried with laughter, if you just want to watch one episode, watch that one.

I really expected to hate Mrs Brown's Boys. The format is very old fashioned, performances are OTT, the set & costumes look quite cheap. However, It's very funny & packed with quickfire gags, only a few of which fall flat. If you don't find one joke funny though, it doesn't matter because there are another 10 waiting round the corner & I don't care if some of them are old - they're still good. I actually find the old studio audience format refreshing & the addition of bad language & dirty jokes actually works pretty well. Plus, it's great to see the cast dropping out of character from time to time to have a giggle at the gags. They look like they're actually having fun! The pace of it is incredible & it really takes some talent to pull a sitcom like this off so well. it's not cool or edgy but so what? It's funny! So many recent comedies are not.

A mad mixture of Father Ted, Bread and Miranda. The wife made me watch this as she came across it by accident. Brings back memories of my funny swearing grandmother who was incidentally very Irish. Very funny but not for the faint hearted as their are many f(s) After two episodes I am a fan and have saved as a series link. The cast also enjoy themselves with many unable to keep straight faces. Enjoyed the talking to the camera in the same way Miranda does. I hope they keep the quality up for the whole series and I am looking forward to more f(s). The walking behind the cameras is very clever. Thank you for a great comedy.

When I discovered Mrs Brown's Boys, I couldn't stop watching. I love the 3 set simplicity, the return to Milton Berle drag antics and the live audience, keep rolling approach - it is so refreshing. A current sitcom with a by gone era appeal - what a delight! The characters are quirky, the story lines are hilarious, and the situations are gut busting! If you have nothing to do on a rainy Sunday, watching the complete series is just the remedy for the dull drums. This American lover of British humor got her English fix by watching Mrs Brown's Boys. It's top notch and a definite must see. I can't wait for the next series to see what Agnes and her family does next!
