The Blizzard of Odd

ElNino

Anyone see it tongiht? Some absolutely classic piss taking of the Big Bow Wow and the Dinner Party plus a few other RTE shows. If I was Colin Murphy I would stay away from Montrose tomorrow

DS

Yeah the Big Bow Wow bit was great, nailed all the character cliches. The Dinner Party didn't need much work from Colin though, kind of takes care of itself.

Didnt realise this was back - is great show.

Must keep note for next week!

Welcome return to an otherwise crap RTE2 schedule. Great pisstake on the IFTA awards. What the f**k did Grainne Seoige have on top of her head?

Colin Murphy's cool alright. I saw his live show in Galway on Sunday and I'd recommend it to Blizzard fans.

moggie

i dunno
bit disappointing to be honest

didn't think much of it
targetting the bow wow and dinner party is like shooting fish in a barrel
its waaaay too easy
they're such soft targets a 3 year old could mock them

hopefullly it'll get back on form as the series progresses
(the blizzard, that is, not the other shows)

I thought it was great to see the show back on. I know Dinner Party and Big Bow Wow are easy targets but it's great to see them taken apart anyway. Especially as I never got to see the BIg Bow Wow. Speaking of BBW, the production company originally working on it lost the show because they had a helicopter hired for aerial shots and as they were not shooting at the weekend one of the editors decided to take it down to Cork to see his mates. Ha Ha

Glad to have Blizzard of Odd back!

It'll never happen but Il live in hope that someday Colin Murphy will to a show of B.o.O. where he rips into the crapness of 'The Panel' for 30 mins straight .... including is own lamentable input it should be said

SoupyNorman

i refuse to watch the panel purely because of mr. funny man ed byrne...

life would be good if him and mr. tuberty went to live in siberia.

Colin is very good...the werewolf film was a fine piece of work

I was hoping he would talk about the choosen.

Maybe next week.

I was sure it was nominated for an IFTA one year.

How stupid can RTE be to put a show on that deals for a good part of it in slagging off RTE shows BBW , dinner party , derick davis used to be a favourite of colm.
Don't they watch there own shows , well i suppose if we don't why should they......

RTE can do that cos they're a "hip and knowing" outfit dude!

As for those DIY video movies less said the better.

Their stupidity is in not taking on board the criticisms and making programmes that are not sh1te

Ah lads, anyone got that on video, perchance? I missed it. Is it repeated?

I tuned in and made people who hate the Blizzard of Odd sit through the whole thing because it said in the paper that he was doing The Chosen.
I really wanted to see it cause I know one of the guys in that programme but still managed to miss all but 30 seconds of it.

Hopefully next week.

I liked the bit on Crime Call with the two Lithuanians who were supposed to take calls but yet had no phones.

It used to be repeated on a Sunday night, after 10pm, sometime.

Surprisingly for RTE it isn't being repeated.

Thinking think much of the episode on monday, wasnt as good as usual

orangerooster

It seemed a bit over produced or something and not its usual shoddy start sequence etc self-still better than all of the **** rte are putting out at the moment though!
