Gogglebox Ireland

Steve

They should be made watch only RTE and show it up for the farce it is.

Making them watch superior foreign shows is unfair.

Poor show tonight. Two of the programmes had already been covered by last week's UK Gogglebox, so what's the point of showing them on Irish Gogglebox considering there must be a high proportion of Irish audiences who watch the UK version as well? (and especially the Stand Up to Cancer segment which was harrowing enough to watch the first time around).

I'm half expecting next week's Irish show to feature them watching Gogglebox on Channel 4 on Friday night.

I love the twins in cavan. Especially their amazing couch. Also the 2 women in liberties who are best friends. Not really pushed on the rest of the families. The people I mentioned seem to be genuinely interested in the tv programmes.

Limerick family are funny the 2 boys and the maa and the aul one that sounds like Bosco too:pac:

Why shouldn't they cover shows that Irish people watched? There is always going to be a time where they will be watching the same shows especially for events like SUTC. The show gets a third of the audience on C4 compared to TV3, and I didn't see the UK one last week as it was split up in several parts last Friday - and ruined it with celebs watching.

I don't understand why they were showed watching Emmerdale and not Fair City.

You'd be surprised how many people wouldn't watch C4.

Emmerdale had a massive stunt in the show, and was a huge talking point. Emmerdale has a big fanbase in Ireland.

But Emmerdale is shown on utv Ireland. I just think they should show more Irish shows

And UTV Ireland is currently being bought by the same people that own TV3, Liberty Global. Who also own the sponsor for Gogglebox Ireland, Virgin Media.

The Limerick mammy reminds me of journalist turned politician turned political advisor Carol Hunt.

He seems to be having trouble trying to us his notator voice rather his flamboyant gay voice.
The lad in Portablo said about a lad on TV his a ride.
If he said that about a girl...?

I think the problem is that most Irish people watch much more UK TV than Irish TV. Certainly I do. Must be about 90/10 to UK TV for me. I usually watch RTE for news and current affairs, not much else. And Gogglebox Ireland of course

Do you watch Gogglebox just to watch snippets of TV shows?

No I watch it to see the different families/people. I was only saying I hadn't watched irelands fittest family

Freddie Kruger is just a bad version of Stephen Spielbergs Poltergeist. Can see why I never watched it. It's about as scary as a notice from post office to pay your TV licence.

Television ratings show more watch Irish television.

i thought it was better tonight; I liked the way the different viewers discussed their thoughts on Chasing Asylum; this is the reason I love the UK show - it allows us to get to see how the views relate to the shows.. The viewers on the Irish Gogglebox seem to be settling more into the show as time goes on

Both are great movies but very different from each other. To say Freddie is a bad version of Poltergeist is just bizarre. I love the way you have critiqued a movie you have never seen. Maybe you should watch it and then make an informed judgement on it.

Domino's BBQ pizza is deeeeeeeeeeelicious!

Think it's been a great series so far, tonight was good crack!

Not keen on either commentator and not sure about that Galway family, with an odd looking house with slim windows.

That is true, they never show the hardship in farming - wise words from the Cavan man.

Never mind that - my post got deleted with no explanation by some "mod" in approx a nano-second

The 2 gay men from Dublin can be commented on too, surely.

Hector is a spa, pouncing around acting like this big ginger lovable goon. Hes a fraud, and a pure annoying one. No surprise all the saps on this show love him. Says it all really.
