Moone Boy

When ideas have a heart, this kind of comedies come to life.

This may be one of the funniest -really funny, heart warming and cozy series I've seen. And I suppose there are reasons for it to be so good. David (Martin-Martin) is not an actor and comes across as the most believable boy ever (maybe above Nick H. as Marcus in About a Boy). Another very strong one is that most people are from the region, and Boyle becomes part of the characters.

Definitely, O'Dowd's connection with the land (the soil, in fact) is so deep that it really shows off in each episode. Paul's (Dad) character is amazing.

Positive, funny, family oriented. A plain joy to watch. Let's hope the job they did for the third season comes out of the can. I suppose Sky1 is not "that" happy with something.

This is one of those shows that comes along once in a while and it literally makes you laugh out loud at every single moment. The show revolves around a young boy named Martin Moone...who is a bit of a buffoon, which leads to numerous shenanigans...all the while Martin is guided by his trusty imaginary friend named Shaun Murphy, who is a bit plain as imaginary friends go, which kind of describes the type of person Martin is...if you're looking for a good time, a laugh a minute period piece...yes...this is set in the late 80s in Ireland, then look no further. Moone Boy delivers blow after comedic blow and the supporting cast is just as good, from the Moone parents and siblings, to Padraig, Martin's best friend, whose imaginary friend Crunchy Danger Haystacks is just as entertaining as anyone else. This is an ensemble gem that deserves your attention. I only give it a 9 out of 10, because I reserve that 10th star for something that is absolutely the best show or movie ever made, IN MY OPINION of course, but this show has entertained me just as much as anything ever made, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

What a gem! For those who liked "Malcom in the Middle" or "Everybody Hates Chris", "Freaks and Geeks" or "Scrubs" even, I think they'd enjoy this series a lot. It has that quirky family dynamic and coming-of-age story arc that's timeless and relatable, and kept me coming back. I cannot wait for more seasons.

It's very funny but also poignant at times, as it doesn't shy away from serious topics. It has the right amount of cutaways (i think many non laugh track sitcoms abuse this), and I love the occasional 80s soundtrack. The 'Goodfellas' episode had me laughing out loud. The only other show that makes me do that is Community. I'm so glad that it's on hulu, I hope more Americans watch this show.

First of all I would like to point out that this is a comedy based in Ireland please everybody stop saying "British comedy". I have watched and laughed through each episode. Padric is a excellent character i knew someone just like him when i was 12! Having grown up in Ireland during this period the music the details on the set all bring my childhood rushing back to me and even though growing up in Ireland at this time was not a bed of roses its lovely to watch it with humour. in fact i watched it with my Greek husband and he thought it was brilliant! well done to Chris o Dowd I'm looking forward to the next series!

I found this show after I watched, The I.T. Crowd. ( The altar boy episode was hysterical ) > Doesn't matter that it's an Irish show, my teenagers & I loved it and we're American and its a good comedy show, period. P.S. watch " The I.T. Crowd" also, if you haven't seen it.
