Unlike the comment I just read, I think Dick and Dom is a great show. During it's two-hour span, it covers a wide variety of entertainment, including some traditional things, like the Prize Idiot's appearance, or the Cat's weekly film, where he discovers the "pittoresque places" of the UK. The show provides high-quality, low-brain fun. Off course, you don't have to expect something with a message in it, cause it's a no-brainer. Dick and Dom now have years of experience and that shows with the improving quality of every season. Personally, I do find some things annoying (mostly BB3B, the cartoon that is showed this season) but it's made up for by the many colorful visitors of the Bungalow (Personal favorite: the Cat) Off course, this is only my opinion, but I advise everyone to take two hours of their Saturday morning to watch this show. It's anarchistic, sometimes rude, it's gross (snot and creamy muck muck-covered guests anyone?) but it's mostly great fun!
What is this s***? This show came out when I was very young and even then I didn't like it, now that I am decade older and it is ridiculously repeated on the channel (which I do not watch because of this) CBBC. originally Dick and Dom in DA Bungalow was extremely successful and even won a BAFTA. Why? It consists of two juvenile grown men doing juvenile things like shouting Bogies in public and showering each other in slime also known as Creamy Muck Muck. The only good bit of the show is the brief appearance of DI Harry Batt who almost got his own spin of series. If this is what good children's TV is then the future is bleak, juvenile and covered in Creamy Muck Muck.
A live gameshow with prizes, points and minigames- sounds pretty standard. But this show had a magic to it not found in children's TV anymore. The live format and changing kid contestants meant that mistakes were common and many times the presenters would have to fill time on the fly- and this made the show exiting as you never knew what would happen.
The show is also interesting to go back and watch now as you will realize the amount of innuendos and adult jokes they got away with was amazing, and would never stand on today's kids TV, with millennial parents who are so easily offended- which is ridiculous when you think about it considering how parents now buy their kids games like GTA and CoD which depict outright violence and sex. Seems like priorities are not in order.
It's a shame the series was cancelled but it had a good run, and many of us kids who grew up with it still hold out hope for some kind of revival. But apparently there is no room in this world for silly pointless fun anymore- at least according to the House of Commons.

This is probably the best Saturday Morning kids show since TISWAS! Saying that, the first show that I caught, I thought that they were trying too hard to be funny...trying to be like TISWAS.
I was hooked after my second viewing.
McCourt and Wood throw in sly innuendo's that kids don't understand and adults can enjoy. It can be a little controversial at times which is exactly what is needed to be successful and to garner a cult following (which it has).
Amazingly, there are never celebrity guests (apart from the comic relief shows) as Dick and Dom favour their guests to be regular viewers (kids).
Throw in some cartoons, which I think detract from the fun of the show but I guess the guys need breaks every now and again to prep the next slots etc.
The regular characters are funny, including the ugly cat, the diddy Dick and Dom in the cupboard, the Farmer Guy, and the games, particularly Bogies, are top notch genius.
Another hilarious sequence is the Bungalow Loft bit. It's absolutely demented and capped off nicely by a Benny Hill-esque dummy Dom falling down the steps from the loft to the ground below.
The insanity is just non-stop.
I have found, this year, through observation, that this show has a few things in common with the old ITV show "Your Mother Wouldn't Like It".
The Producer, Steve Ryde, used to be in that show and also "Palace Hill" (two excellent shows), the farmer guy is played by Ian Kirkby who played Loaf in Your Mother Wouldn't Like It and the Turtle thing that pops out of the toilet and masticates it's victims after telling them a poor joke, is quite similar to the Tapeworm puppet/character from Your Mother Wouldn't Like It, which also delivered poor jokes.
Forget the wannabe's on the other channels, Dick and Dom are genuinely funny even to the point of appearing crazed at times. I think Ant and Dec ought to be cowering in fear for their jobs with Dick and Dom around! Sick, Twisted, Mucky, Hilarious...Dick and Dom In Da Bungalow...It will be a long time before there is a Saturday Morning show as entertaining as this.
BOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGIIIIIIEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!

Ignore the snobbish reviews this was a great children's programme and why shouldn't some kids' TV be 'silly' and fun. There are plenty of more serious and educational kids' programmes on TV. The humour was aimed at children and not snobbish old fashioned adults, who find modern TV crude. There is nothing wrong with throwing pies, as it just childish humour aimed at and for children. The title of the show is purposely silly, many people really enjoyed the show and are sorry that its ended. Looking at the guest list other people also must have found it amusing. I hope Dick and Dom get a show on radio 1 because they deserve another programme.
