    I honestly loved watching this when I was young, I remember watching this series in the living room and just laughed the whole way through each episodes! I loved Father Jack, he just blurts out anything inappropriate like "Feck, drink, gobshite", I say there's more but I'm not gonna say any more haha. Really though, I think Frank Kelly should've been given more lines because Father Jack was Unreal!It's really sad that the series only lasted two seasons because of poor Dermot Morgan's sudden death in 1998. I would love to have seen the three priest and Mrs Doyle to the United States. I'm sure it would be hilarious even more with them lot in America. Ah sure look, it's just the way it happened and sure Father Ted isn't the same without Dermot Morgan. RIP 💟

    To this day my friends and I still quote this show on a daily basis.Dermot Morgan was an absolute genius delivering his part of the quirky Father Ted. Along with his fellow clergy men and of course his moronic house keeper, Mrs. Doyle, Graham Linehan created the perfect cast for my favorite show of all time.Although it has been nearly 20 years since this show was on TV, it is still regularly shown here in Ireland and many people still watch it. It even has its own annual festival on the west coast, that is its impact on this island.If you ever want to cry laughing, and have a silly sense of humor, watch any one of the episodes. I promise you won't regret it.Taken too soon, RIP Dermot Morgan.

    If you ever feel down and need a laugh, this series is just the remedy. It's such a bizarre plot -- three shonky priests living together on an obscure Irish island -- but it works! Every episode I've watched I have found hilarious. I was raised Catholic but I don't find it offensive. It's a parody of Catholicism, but Lord knows it needed it. Witness the couple running the local shop, John and Mary, who are constantly trying to murder one another -- until Father Ted comes in, and they act like pious angels. My favourite episode would have to be when the drunken lout Father Jack is finally sent away to a retired priests' home. The replacement priest sent to live with Father Ted and Father Dougal is an obnoxious slob, who is, incredibly, even more offensive than Jack, so Ted and Dougal plot to kidnap Father Jack back from the home. All praise to the actor playing Jack -- not a role with a great range of behaviours but it's strangely honest that he's so consistently awful. Father Dougal represents all the dangerously simple minded twits in the world, and he's played with a lot of sly wit by the actor. As for Father Ted, a tour de force performance by the late, great Dermot Morgan. Ted is someone trying to be good, but failing spectacularly.

    10/10 - perfect rating.Father Ted is a great sitcom about 3 catholic priests (Father Ted, Father Dougal and Father Jack) on an island called Craggy Island. It is one of the funniest TV shows ever made, surpassed only by Friends and Two and a Half Men.It is certainly the most funny non-USA comedy. It may offend some catholics but i know a catholic who thinks this is the funniest show ever.If you really want a great laugh I would definitely watch this. This show never fails to crack me up. The way Father Jack always shouts out "Drink!" whenever he wants alcohol is really funny. To sum it up: it is an absolutely hilarious comedy that anyone can enjoy.
