Mrs. Brown's Boys

Brendan O'Carroll as Mrs. Brown is brilliant is this series. I have seen all 6 episodes and have laughed so much I actually stopped breathing for a bit in one of the episodes. You will see many of the other characters trying to stifle laughs as I am sure much of Mrs. Brown's lines are unscripted.

Brendan O'Carroll has written several books as well as many films and stage plays.

His wife Jennifer Gibney plays his daughter Cathy Brown. Fiona O'Carroll, his daughter plays "Maria Nicholson" who is the girlfriend of son "Dermot Brown" and his sister "Eilish O'Carroll" plays Mrs. Brown's best friend "Winnie McGoogan." Danny O'Carroll plays Buster Brady but I haven't been able to confirm whether he is related to Brendan.

I hope they will be doing another season as this is one of the best comedies I have seen, if not the best.

When I discovered Mrs Brown's Boys, I couldn't stop watching. I love the 3 set simplicity, the return to Milton Berle drag antics and the live audience, keep rolling approach - it is so refreshing. A current sitcom with a by gone era appeal - what a delight! The characters are quirky, the story lines are hilarious, and the situations are gut busting! If you have nothing to do on a rainy Sunday, watching the complete series is just the remedy for the dull drums. This American lover of British humor got her English fix by watching Mrs Brown's Boys. It's top notch and a definite must see. I can't wait for the next series to see what Agnes and her family does next!

Mrs browns boys is a 2011 to present 5 series comedy created by Brendan O'Carroll. A comedy centered on a loud- mouthed Irish matriarch whose favourite pastime is meddling in the lives of her six children and friends. The first few series was absolutely brilliant but now it's had its day. I think Brendan is finding it hard coming up with new ideas and storylines now. What I do like about this is that they are all related and are friends of the family in real life. It will certainly cheer you up and have you laughing off your seat that's if you don't mind the strong language. Something to binge watch when in lockdown and will certainly put a smile on your face. I think you can stream the whole series on BBC I PLAYER right now. Contains a lot of bad language.

A mad mixture of Father Ted, Bread and Miranda. The wife made me watch this as she came across it by accident. Brings back memories of my funny swearing grandmother who was incidentally very Irish. Very funny but not for the faint hearted as their are many f(s) After two episodes I am a fan and have saved as a series link. The cast also enjoy themselves with many unable to keep straight faces. Enjoyed the talking to the camera in the same way Miranda does. I hope they keep the quality up for the whole series and I am looking forward to more f(s). The walking behind the cameras is very clever. Thank you for a great comedy.

I really expected to hate Mrs Brown's Boys. The format is very old fashioned, performances are OTT, the set & costumes look quite cheap. However, It's very funny & packed with quickfire gags, only a few of which fall flat. If you don't find one joke funny though, it doesn't matter because there are another 10 waiting round the corner & I don't care if some of them are old - they're still good. I actually find the old studio audience format refreshing & the addition of bad language & dirty jokes actually works pretty well. Plus, it's great to see the cast dropping out of character from time to time to have a giggle at the gags. They look like they're actually having fun! The pace of it is incredible & it really takes some talent to pull a sitcom like this off so well. it's not cool or edgy but so what? It's funny! So many recent comedies are not.
