    No. Pat Shortt is not funny. He was good in Fr. Ted, but that's about it. Killinascully sucks unfunny balls.

    Novelty wore off after first series.
    Very badly done...Shortt thinks he has it down to a tee but he doesn't.

    I think it was a good idea at the start and the first series WAS very good. But since then it seems that the writers have just gotten lazy. The plots are ridiculous, based around the most stupid of misunderstandings and laced with juvenile, predictable and contrived jokes.

    The catchphrases "He tells this one lovely", "I'm not in the habit of repeating myself" etc etc... were never really funny, are have been beaten to death. The show is very popular with kids, maybe it should be put on before six.

    With a better script, the show could still be funny, but they need to get some fresh blood in the writing department.

    Killinascully has to be the biggest load of televisual tripe unleashed on the Irish popuation - and given the piss poor quality of much of RTE's output, that's saying a lot.

    It is backward, gombeen hick and deeply unfunny. It's frankly an embarrassment to this country and I suspect viewers/supporters are like much of the cast of this show.

    Delighted that it's gone for good.:)

    Plenty of people who would find CYE dreadful, I know I have been trying to get people to watch, in fairness to them they aren't fans of Killinaskully. But they are to total different types of comedy.

    Tad ironic that statement :D

    I thought it was funny enough when it first started, now I would flick to something else in a second than sit and watch it!

    NO I fcukin hate it. Stupid country show. I can't for the life of me wonder how it's so popular. Why does Pat Shortt get so much television time? I've lost count the amount of times he has appeared on the late late show, tubridy, ringing in the new year etc. Is that it? If he's one of our A-Listers then as a nation we must be the laughing stock of the celebrity world.

    If the BBC can sell Keeping Up Appearances to us I think it only right that they suffer through this :)

    It's nothing to do with portraying Irish people as being thick feckin eejits.

    They could do that fine. But this show is just not funny at all, I don't like it. The only funny character/scenes in it were the ones involving Dieter.
