Maybe they meant a total of 24 hours.

I feel guilty having started this thread but not having seen it at all. But there is too much - not necessarily good - stuff to try and watch and I refuse to watch more TV than I do already. Last Detective will do me tonight.

Come on David, can you manage about 50 posts tonight, to catch me up?

I'm having the night off, so you have an opportunity.

In my face! I mean your Face!
 

What?


Eh?


Sorry - that was supposed to be 2 different ones but they get lumped together.

Look- I'm missing Dangerous.


I got a block of 17 together there. Is that a record?

See this is where i get confused Godot? They DID the script made and the BBC love it and the critics and the public, so maybe where you're going wrong is by not doing this. The way you guys talk about the show it's as if it's not doing well but it's been praised by every critic who's seen it. It's a hit and everyone i know loves it! But then i do live it Cardiff!
 

...and you're mates with someone working on it. You never turn up on any other threads.

EDIT: sorry, after research, at this point out of your 18 entries 14 are defending G&S on this thread, and 3 are defending G&S on the "Is this funny" thread. Where is that pesky other one? Can anyone else help?

And btw, no problem with you supporting your favouraite show, just worth noting you are a bit of a one-trick pony...

How can you tell? You're too far up your mate's arse to see any landmarks.

Ladies, ladies! Come on now, calm down.

Josh: They're too stubborn and bitter. Best to drop it now.

Godot, Badge, and anyone else: Chillax! (I've always wanted to use that word.) No matter of his apparent connections to the show, he still likes it, and accordingly is just trying to stick up for a show he enjoys. WHY he enjoys it (in that respect) is neither here nor there...

Thanks Aaron. Not entirely sure what the problem is, oh yeah! The show got made and none of this lot can get there shows made, and yet somehow the BBC still make Rush Hour and My family, this lots scrpts must be dreadful!!!
 

That point is ridiculous though because it's all about contacts nowadays. If the guys who wrote G&S hadn't have been actors and known the right people no way would this script have been made.

So, make some contacts. Get yourself some work as a film extra and while on set give your script to someone important.

I waiting to see what Charlie Brooker says. G and S is alright but it ain't funny, its a drama not a comedy. Actually this is how crap it is (i'm losing it now) they had two Diana jokes in one episode.

a) Diana died ten years ago
b) its not cutting edge when ten years have passed, and
3) how small are the brains of the 'genius' writers if they can't think of jokes which don't have Diana in.

G and S, soppy mainstream drivel drama not new and innovating comedy.

Rant over

Yet another sideswipe against 'My Family' giving Josh something in common with the embittered writers.
Sitcom is a popular mass-entertainment art form. 'My Family' is very popular and, thus, very successful. It's ironic that this forum seems populated with people who can see nothing good in 'My Family' and so, I would contend, don't really like sitcom.

Comedy doesn't have to be "cutting edge". I find it much less funny when it's trying to be all innovative and new. The Mighty Boosh? Give me The Goodies any day.


The Office? Terry and June please.

Its easy to criticise without attempting to do anything, like you are doing. The writers on here don't because they put their money where their mouth is. Plus they're not willing to sell their souls like your friend did which gives them more integrity than you'll ever have. We get it Josh, you like G and S but don't get personal because eveyone will think you're an arse.

Maybe we should start two threads, one for criticism of G and S and one for praising it then everyones happy


Sorted
