Miranda - BBC2

[hornetrider]

Confession. I like this. Should be crap and unfunny, but is actually reasonably good. There's something Vic and Bob-esque about the comedy that just makes me giggle.

There, that was like admitting I'm an alcoholic. Carry on!

Seen it twice, thought it to be possibly the worst comedy in the history of mankind

The wife who will normally not even so much as smirk during most comedies laughs out loud at this.

[wiffmaster]

I've watched a couple of episodes. Not so much as a chuckle I'm afraid - script and acting just didn't do it for me. Then again, I tend not to appreciate 'safe comedy'. Had to watch the latest episode of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" afterwards to make up for it.

Problem is that I think I may be Miranda, when alone a too dance round the living room singing into my hair brush to my favourite chick flicks. Although I may join the line at dressing up the hoover. Still I continue to lust after unattainable men, manage o put my foot in it far too often, always saying the wrong thing, and have far too many blonde moments! oh dear!!

I'm glad someone posted this because I watched it on my phone last night on iplayer and pissed myself laughing, but felt guilty for doing so, will definately be watching again.

I like her but i dont think she is laugh out loud funny...come to think about it, right now i cant think of any funny women.

Same here.
It's daft and funny, and I like it's Gary Shandling quality.

Possibly one of the worst things I've ever seen. I'm talking Gimme, Gimme, Gimme levels of bad here.

[hornetrider]

I new this thread would polarise opinion

It is a bit daft and camp, but please, its nowhere near Gimme bad, christ.

[Mr Whippy]

I find it amusing.

Not sure how long that will last, there is only so much you can do in this kind of setting. Afterall, Alan Partridge is only probably so good because he kept it to two series, or 10 ish episodes or so in total. Not that I'm saying it's Alan Partridge level of course

The OH loves it.

I've watched a couple of episodes with her and smirked a couple of times.

[HRG]

Saw it for the first time on Sunday, genuinely LOL'd

it shouldn't be funny, but it was.

It's almost up there with 'Black's Books' for me. Could have sworn it was written by Graham Linehan (of Father Ted fame) whilst watching the first one.

Very funny Lady.

Nooooo! Black Books was a work of unsurpassed cynical genius. This, isn't.

I did say 'almost'

[Beefmeister]

I watch it with the O/H and find it really funny in places. Light-hearted comedy, non-offensive.

Certainly better than some of the complete bile that Channel4 are churning out at the moment.

That kids comedy show? Renal failure is funnier than that sh*te.

Indeed.

All I noticed was the canned laughter every few seconds. I liked the woman in stand up, but she isn't an actor IMO.

Know what you mean but I think she knows she's no actor either...and she knows that we know so that's a non-point

She's got great timing. Look at it as themed stand-up and it works.
