Superstar Dogs...

CountyHurler

I anticipate that a thread will be required for this......

Can I just kick it off with a "D'Arcy left Today FM for this? "

Harry Angstrom

That saying about dogs looking like their owners.......


Diarmuid's dog looks like a scruffy ould mongrel....

Rosanna's female dog looks like a prim and proper bitch....

Robson99

What utter rubbish of a program

Vorenus400

I think this was made before he left TodayFM. I remember him discussing it with Rosanna months ago on the radio. I presume it wasnt aired due to how incredibly terrible it its.
Twink must be kicking herself that she wasnt invited. Its off back to Tron for me on 2

How the flock is that pastry chef a celebrity/superstar?

baldbear

This is awful awful TV.

JDxtra

This is the worst thing I have ever seen.

CountyHurler

You can see why D'Arcy asked for 500k all the same...

ray darcy, what are you at??
this is dog sh###

I'm not paying my TV license next year if this is what it's being spent on.

Everyone involved in this should be ashamed of themselves

Including the dogs

baldbear

Somebody please give the poor audience some really strong alcohol.

Who at the meeting about a new show for rte backed this muck .

ThisRegard

That Davidson one is not only cheating wagon in mini marathons, just has to cheat too in some bizarre dog thing.

I hear what you're asking but in fairness, is she any worse than Rosanna being famous as a beauty pageant?

Ha ha ha ha!

I'll give RTE this - they haven't copied an English channel on this one as they usually do :pac:

Robson99

Rte really has gone to the dogs with this. Prime time TV slot on a Sunday evening. What a joke

Realt Dearg Sec

This is the kind of thing that they'll be laughing about in nostalgia shows years from now. The dogs aren't even any good, let alone the "celebrities"

passremarkable

all involved are probably regretting this show already!

ratmouse

THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN! EVER! The UK (non (fake) celebrity) version of this is actually an excellent show with properly skilled dogs and dedicated owners.

Ammonite

Wtf is this? The dogs (wisely) aren't participating in any of the challenges. The "human" challenges are time filling dignity sapping rubbish. Never seen so much cheating on a gameshow either

CountyHurler

For juvenile dog puns, this show certainly takes the (dog) biscuit....

They kind of have. There was a show on the BBC from about 20 years ago called Pets Win Prizes

groucho marx

Jesus Christ that was the absolute pits. I want a TV license refund, is this really what I am helping to fund?? F sake.

ThisRegard

Lols at them having to wear helmets for this.

CountyHurler

Let's see Gerry Loftus and Pat Spillane do that !!

This exact same format was broadcast last year on bbc , the judge is the same guy from the bbc. It was presented by John Barroman i think.

Same format yes but with skilled dog owners and skilled dogs.

That's depressing.

Make this stop.

CountyHurler

Did anybody hear that at the start of the show.. Louise Lennox left out a chocolate cake and her dog ate it, so she paid the vet 90 euro to pump the dog's stomach....

kenmccarthy

Couldn't believe any programme with Rosanna Davidson could be this awful...............
this is pure rubbish............Rosanna- why oh why did you get involved in this crap?

CountyHurler

They should have had the son of a rich property developer in there and see if she passes by..

Why, did you think she was better than this show?! Seriously?!

Harry Angstrom

I was expecting Rosanna to take a short-cut there.

Harry Angstrom

Rosanna's daddy will sing a song at the end...

"The Lady With Ted"

kenmccarthy

Ah, c'mon---- Rosanna Davidson= legend!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simple as that

Posing topless. Yes, you're right. She is soo much better than this sham of a show.

I think the RTE version of Never mind The Buzzcocks is on 2 now. Are they just making crap versions of British shows to keep Irish 'celebs' employed

An excellent question!!

Welsh Megaman

Let us 'paws' for a minute, and consider how 'ruff' it was that RTE didn't show this Worldwide on the player which, judging by this thread, sounds like a car crash. The Boardsies really have been let off the 'leash'.

:cool:

Robbie Savage was on the Welsh version of Superstar Dogs with his dog...

Ah, they did though. I used to love 'That's My Dog' on daytime ITV when I was about seven. And apparently BBC1 had a show called 'Superdogs' which was much the same.

http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/That%27s_My_Dog

Rounds included the obligatory dog assault course (because that's what dogs do), and there was a maze, the idea of which was that the dog had to find their way out but without being side-tracked by the food that's in the middle. The programme's vet, Eddie Straiton (or C.C. Guard) asked the teams medical questions about their pets, and hostess Louise Burton brought on a dog each week that belonged to a famous celebrity who had to be identified from clues.

The winning team got a chance to win lots (well, a bit) of money by trying to get their dog to pick a predetermined object (purse, handerchief or somesuch) that their owner had handled beforehand.

Superstar Dogs is no 'Pets win Prizes', but I have seen a lot worse on RTE
