Mumsnet TV show starring Mumsnetters ready to view. Please tell us what you think...

well, fanjo is a euphemism, lest we forget.
and i think that makes mumsbox even better.

and aibu HILARIOUS in the cw style.

I'll have a toddler book. Thanks.

mumsbox is a pretty good name i think.

grear?? great

I thought it was grear. I learned a lot. Particularly the mumsnet haircut. I now know that I would never attempt it unless I had a hairdresser's appointment booked within the hour. Michelle looked like a lovely lady but her post-haircut hair looked as if it had been chewed by a dog.

or even a bit wank, rather than a big wank!

agree that MNers looked good, but what was the point

agree that logo is a big wank

think you should call it Mumsbox

I liked it, I thought the Will Young interview was well lit and well shot but the three Mums looked very uncomfortable.

Fashion was poo.
AIBU child shots were good but the dark room shots were not.

Mamazon looked like a laugh. More of that kind of gossipy thing please.

Perhaps the Loose Women type show would be a good idea, but get a bit more of the length and breadth of the country on eh? We're not all from "darn sarf"

PS if you could get Extended on then I'd change my tune

what bibbity said

-the lazy meeja "take" on mn seems to be that we are all bitchy banal idiots obsessed with biscuits and Mum Stuff

this doesn't do much to dispel it imo, and doesn't bear much resemblance to the site I spend every spare minute on visit...

Aren't there enough makeover shows as it is? (sort of reminds me of Alan Partridge's pitch to Tony Hares- Partridge [after reeling off list of regional crime series]- "what does this say to you about regional crime series?" Tony Hares- "there's too many of them?" Partridge- "or- everyone likes them- let's make some more!")

I did like the haircut and the eyelash curlers tho. Seemed a bit more Mumsnet and less This Morning than the rest of it

gosh you are all so lahndan.

Well, if I lived in an area where broadband was available, I might be able to watch and tell you . . . . !!

The MN haircut does work on curly hair, but you have to brush out our hair into a big ball of fluff, try to hold it straight while you cut it, then wash it before you see the full glory (it doesn't look good when you first let it down). A demonstration would have been better with straight hair. Michele has lovely hair, but she will discover that it has been cut wonky because she didn't scrape it enough into the ponytail.

Agree. Norks is a written word rather than saying it...

Love Loose women idea.

Personally I thought the last 3 items espeically the lovely lady cutting her hair was HILLARIOUS! Really reminded me of mumsnet - ladies having a laugh and saving money

Hate fashion anyway so no real comments....

Thought it was fun. Does make us look like loons though!

I can confirm that the word norks is as embarrassing to say in real life as it sounds. Especially when Mars insists on embarrassing you in front of Will Young talking about breasts

Here's what I think. I wouldn't necessarily watch it unless a. I was watching MNers whose name I knew or b. I was at home ill and it was daytime TV stuff. But we have the bigger and better thing already: we have read the book, and nothing could live up to it, no?

But for all the people out there who don't MN, perhaps it would be aimed at them?

I'm assuming what it is 'for' is to be a pilot to pitch for a proper TV programme, therein to dominate the world expand the business.

And good luck to 'em.

I quite liked it, but agree does kind of with the idea of mn being anonynmous!
I would watch it.

I mean all perfect and doll-like like Barbie

Not all naked and missing one leg and with matted hair

(just to clarify)

Gerry Mumsnet is all perfect

Like Barbie

ONly if you chose it to be that way Port.

Just found my original post on this subject from October:

"Oh sorry to be catsbum, but what is this for? Why do Mumsnetters need makeovers? Why does Mumsnet's foray into tv have to be so froth and fluff and daytime tv-ish? Can't we leave all this to the teenagers?"

... still feel the same .

Am too old for Mumsnet .

Yes but i'm Fugly and Shy - therefore it will only be the attractive or outgoing MNers that are included...

I'm a bit in love with GerryMumsnet. And her hair.

This, and the politics show, it's a bit like having read the book before the film but still loving the film.

But that's the main attraction for me: just nosying all the names and RL people.
