I see RTE are trotting out the now annual, "lets make up some sort of show for brendan o connor because we fecked him over by hiring ray darcy"
more endless tripe and "gossip" with some z lister, first up is majella o donnell, a woman who happens to be married to a singer auld ones love... and this is what dee forbes wants us to folk out for a licence for?

I have a feeling Cutting Edge might be getting the chop-it's not getting the same 'notice' from the usual individuals. So rather than announce it's cancellation, it's 'give him another show'...talking to nobodies. (This reminds me of Pat Kenny's show he used to have on UTV...before they cut ties).

One can hope-but I doubt it. I'd say we'll be suffering her 'Don't go therrrre' fakeness in another couple of months or so.

Apparently they never leave-I know someone who used to work there-lots of mouse traps.

I know of a lot of similar stories. Seems you start off in the post room then as jobs come up you get them. If you've no relatives already there you keep getting bumped back down the list to make way for sons, daughters. nephews and nieces.

Yes indeed. We're paying for one big extended family to have jobs regardless of talent or entertainment generated.

How did they differentiate it from the plots of Fair City?

There was actually some substance to the big logger he left behind the fridge.

Had a storyline that went on for 14 months, people desperately wondering if anyone would find the log, if it would escape from it's stockholm syndro...oh, no wait, that was that poor lass stuck in the container in Fair City.

The poop story was far more interesting.

The Savage Eye and the very odd few other things worth watching always end up being binned.

Tbf, McSavage only wanted two series of TSE. Blizzard of odd was the only real show I was sad to see go. That and the original The Movie Show-the one with Dave Fanning, not those two dopes Mairead and Eoghan. (It was cancelled before it even had one series).

I know for a fact at one point RTE were interviewing comedians around the place asking them if they'd any ideas for sketches. Basically RTE wanted to make a comedy show but had no ideas. Kind of in reverse if you ask me. Money to burn. There's numerous people would love that opportunity.

RTe were trying everything at one point. Remember they gave Jason Byrne about 3 or four different shows? 'The Jason Byrne show' which was axed when RTE ran out of money (along with the Movie Show) and then The Byrne Ultimatum-which was a...not even a quiz show, just a waste.

There were so many 'comedy quiz shows' over the years, all the same crap, all the same lack of entertainment.

kneemos · 14-08-2018 07:08PM

Didn't they have a couple of crappy "gotcha"type shows going recently?
Maybe they're still on. Most of their "comedy" stuff gets aired late at night for some reason.

The Fear, Scorchio, Naked Camera from eons ago. They're cheap, so RTE make tons of em. Doesn't matter if they're as funny as personally falling in a bed of nettles, but RTE make em cos filler.

As if RTE 2 wasn't bad enough the first time now you can watch it again an hour later.

They really do live on another planet don't they?

Eminently punchable face on him too.

Hilarious how he and Louis Walsh were "finding talent" on Ireland's Got Talent. Sure neither of them would know as they have none!
