My Family - WHY??!!

RGPargy · 29/09/2008 22:17

OK, just one question. Why has this "sitcom" been given prime time air time by the BBC when it is absolute drivel?!!! Please tell me that someone else finds this programme deeply deeply annoying and completely unfunny? I really do think that the BBC could have found something much better to put on at 7.30pm? I'm sure this programme used to be on a non-mainline station at a time more suited ot it (i.e. when no one else was watching) and even then is wasn't funny!

I HATE IT!!!!!

Phew!! Sorry, had to get that off my chest as i've been meaning to moan about it for weeks now!

It's crap isn't it. I sometimes find myself watching it just because I can't quite believe how bad it is.

MintChocAddict · 29/09/2008 22:19

You're so right RGP! It's so completely smug and utterly, utterly crap.
I hate it too. (Can you tell??}

I hate it too.

The mum is soooo annoying.

belgo · 30/09/2008 13:58

It is rubbish, I can't believe it's still going after all this time.

docket · 30/09/2008 14:04

I couldn't agree more it is utterly, embarassingly shite. And I normally like RL and ZW.

Is the punchable daughter with the annoying fringe still in it?

Charlee · 30/09/2008 14:07

I liked it untill they got rid of NIck and got that anooying squeaky blonde in.......... haven't watched it since.

WinkyGirl · 30/09/2008 16:23

Yep Charlee you're right. Why get rid of/lose Kris Marshall who was easy on the eye and replace with an unconvincing copy of Phoebe from friends?

I like Zoe Wanamaker and Robert Lindsay too but they're both worth so much more than this.

SheikYerbouti · 30/09/2008 19:09

It's the biggest pile of turgid tosswank the BBC ever squandered licence fees on

Portofino · 30/09/2008 19:10

It used to be funny - but has had at least 3 series to many. Agree with Eyeballs - great actors - why are they still doing this?

MrsMattie · 30/09/2008 20:34

It's utter shite.
