Didn't enjoy the original Irish TV Mrs Brown but didn't mind the BBC Scotland series, if you're looking don't forget the stage shows, but hated the 'talk show' format they ended up with
You, sir, are THE MAN. The ONLY Mrs Brown's Boys I'd ever seen was apparently the Scottish one (w/Brendan O'Carroll) - I honestly had NO IDEA it was a remake. I have seasons 1-3, all the 47 (I exaggerate for comic effect) christmas shows, the stage-shows. I was wondering if it just STOPPED after season 3 as have yet to find anymore - wasn't aware of the 'talk show' variety you speak of. Thanks for the education!!! It's sad that 99% of the 'current' stuff (by that I mean 20 years or so - all without FAIL follow the same pattern) rope the viewer in the first rock solid two seasons, then it's like all the original writers leave in a mass exodus and they limp along to a pathetic ignominious death. Sopranos was fantastic until it's last INSULTINGLY bad finale season. Homeland WAS great 1st two seasons, then APPALLING. I LOVED Being Human (the UK original) at first, then IT sucked. True Blood...Dexter. Law of diminishing returns. Do they get complacent thinking the loyal viewers will just stick with it? Insulting.
I'd link to some of my goodies but they're all OFFLINE on one of many external drives!!!
Geezus, I can't keep UP. Yes, it was 'lowest common denominator' raunchy humor but I loved it! Thank you - will try to look at these over the weekend!! Thanks for the warning - sometimes the remakes exceed the original(s) but that's rarely the case - case in point (to my critic's eyes anyway) is "Brothers", a Danish original starring the mighty Ulrich Thomsen I didn't particularly care for but the HollyWeird remake was far superior - it's ALWAYS the other way around, America always feeling the need to 'dumb it down' for the masses. No WONDER I've gone almost completely to 'foreign' fare. Watched a Danish one last night starring the mighty Madds Mikkelsen that was GENIUS - Riders Of Justice.
