I can't understand how such outdated, lame dross can be commissioned in the 2010s. This is old-fashioned in a bad way. Even in the 1970s, this would be second-rate. The protagonist is worse than when Dick Emery dressed in drag. None of the other actors are funny or entertaining, either.

I think I know what this show is trying to achieve, being a zany, hyperactive sit-com, but it doesn't deliver.The way that MBB is formulated means that it is reliant on character. The problem is, there are TOO MANY characters, but none of them HAVE character. There are too many characters and sub-plots that prevent the viewer from becoming invested in any of the characters or what they're going through - to the point of confusion. Character arrives, does something for laughs, leaves, next character arrives. There is no driving force or development.Generally unfunny and unsatisfying

There are things about this show I don't like. I hate that we are shown the studio. That's like a magician showing you how the trick is done. (Masked Magician.)Some jokes have been done before like Agnes cutting Grandad's toe nails and they fly everywhere was done in Father Ted, Agnes thinking that the picture of Jesus is talking to her was done in Fawlty Towers, the "Any key" gag is taken from The Simpsons and the gag where Agnes hears the family talk about putting the dog in the home and thinking that they're talking about her has been done to death!The only people who would find these jokes funny are ones that had never seen the shows I had just mentioned.The episode where Grandad wants a funeral for himself.... why?Oh, and in the next ep Agnes tries to kill Grandad. Yeah. Our heroine, everybody.And there's only 3 sets. Also, leaving the outtakes in the show is just distracting.However, I like the rudeness of the show. The bikini wax I thought was funny and the episode about the swingers was amusing.It is entertaining and Agnes and Rory are amusing. It has some good gags, despite it's flaws.

Some of the funniest slapstick I have seen in years. The live audience and the accidentals ( on stage flubs) only serve to make what is already hilariously funny, even funnier. I usually have an issue with unnecessary bad language, but it serves a purpose here as Agnes is the only one who uses it (for the most part). The situations are really funny and Brendan O'Carroll is a comic genius as he writes and directs most episodes. Great filming and sets, with a talented cast. As soon as they come available I will be buying the DVD's. Unfortunately there are only 3 short seasons but there is a movie coming in the summer of 2014. I recommend the series highly for adults that want a great half hour of wet your pants comedy! Probably watch it without the kids first time around though.
