    I've never watched even a second of this (which seems to glorify all that's good in Ireland today), though does anyone old enough here to remember it miss Glenroe?

    Dunno about glorify. Reflect a certain reality maybe. Also let's not forget that it's fictional.

    What?


    You might as well have called this thread "Spark plugs" or "Dishwasher".


    "I've never used a dishwasher before, but has anyone ever seen the tv show Magnum P.I.?"

    I have noticed that many Dubs have developed a distaste for Love/Hate in the last season or so because it portrays the capital as a bit of a dump.

    I really like the show now even though I had to catch up on season 1 & 2 when I started watching season 3. Excellent acting all round.

    Glenroe was good too!

    I watched one episode of love/hate because the lads were raving about it in work. I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Seemed like every day life in a lot of locations in Dublin.

    I must admit the lads in work are boggers and use the work "fierce" when describing a lot of things.

    Not a bad idea actually for season 5.
    What if Nidge and the lads were to relocate to Glenroe til the heat dies down with the RA and the cops?

    I too have never seen so much as 1 frame of this show.

    The way the media w*nk on about it you would think it was The Wire + Breaking Bad x 10.

    Besides I use tv not to see the dregs of dublin society.
    If I want to see it I can just go outside.

    a love/hate glenroe crossover series would be money.

    miley becomes a regular at nidges "club" in town while tommy starts a relationship with fidelma during a time she spent working in prison.

    fran and blackie connors start an illegal importation business and dick moran becomes debbies solictor only to become romantically involved with her which leads to all sorts of problems in the byrne household

    I don't watch Love/Hate and I didn't watch Glenroe or the Riordans.

    The Riordans however gave rise to the phrase, "the smell of Benjy".

    Over thirty years after the demise of the show the phrase is still in use. For that reason alone I regard the Riordans as superior to the other two.

    BTW: Fran is actually the product of Miley's close friendship with a sheep.

    TV3 are looking up your number as we speak to offer you a job as a scriptwriter, that sounds better than half the tosh they show.

    They could end the show with Nidge and friends going down, showing crime doesn't pay, then make an off-shoot prison programme called Joy/Sorrow.
