Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Definitely one of the alltime great sitcoms with some individual episodes works of genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 521 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Love it. Fantastic writing and the execution of each line is spot on. Taking a cold look at it, it ended at a time that would let it still be held highly. If that makes sense, it didn't over stay it's welcome.

Damn shame that he passed away, but because of it being cut short it's never going to drag on and the quality was never allowed to dropped. I'm pretty sure alot of people would rather it did drag on and still have him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 To be fair the writers had already made 3 the last series before he died and the actors knew. Though i think the had left the possibility of 1 off specials open if they felt like going back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 The DVD Box Set was worth every penny. Watched 'The Plague' last night, superb (as is any episodw with Bishop Brennan). "But there's no toilet in here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Classic comedy in every sense, Every character, Every episode, utterly brilliant. One of my favourite characters, and very underated was Father Larry Duff, his accidents are legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Class comedy like What was the name of the Father that destroyed Ted's record player, and kicked a hole in his door whilst saying "How much did you pay for this, Ted?"? Fooking brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Class comedy like What was the name of the Father that destroyed Ted's record player, and kicked a hole in his door whilst saying "How much did you pay for this, Ted?"? Fooking brilliant! 5583[/snapback] My favourite was the one where Ted had put out all these photos of hunks on the table and Mrs Doyle very very quietly was sneaking one off the end - they didn't zoom in. there was no comment and it was easy to miss but it was absolutely hysterical if you noticed it.............................

Optimistic Nut 145 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I loved the one on the "Main Land", where in one scene Jack is about to get a drink and someone from Alcoholics Anonymous grabs his drink...then switches to a zooming ambulance. The "Largest Lingerie section in Ireland", was another classic, in fact, I can't think of one episode not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
