This time last year they had Mrs browns boys (🤮) on repeat, nearly every evening.
This year its Killnascully most evenings.
Do they have anything better to show? The licence fee is daylight robbery.
There is a musical about a show with toys, they could air that.
Father Ted never gets old.
I would love to see old episodes of The late late show with Gaybo.
Might be time for the big wigs in Boards HQ to create a forum for middle-aged men to give out about RTÉ.
RTE seem to block most things on my new TV due to being from Ulster. I couldn't watch any of the films on it over Christmas for example when they had the 2 Home Alone films on back to back. It is strange as Gladiator is on now and isn't blocked. Tonight for the first time RTE news was blocked, I think this was because it was on after Killinaskully and the block never went off.
Last year we couldn't watch the Tyrone Kerry extra time as the block came on as soccer was scheduled to be on. I don't understand how any northerners can support the Republic of Ireland soccer team when RTE don't even let them watch the games. I certainly don't support them and I am glad when they lose. I don't support Northern Ireland either obviously. What has become of this island truly is a mess, as a Catholic born in Ulster I feel like such an outsider in the British isles. The only people we can trust is our own community.
@BaywatchHQ Rte isn't the entire ROI, nor does it represent us anymore (it never did, only a West Brit elite within us)
Relax, we're more similar than we are different.
Killinaskully…oh god. The Christmas special with all the leaves on the trees. Pure dung.
@glitterIsland ...none of this is news.
Might be time for the big wigs in RTE to give you a job defending it, its dreadful output, and ridiculously overpaid "talent". You might as well get paid for doing it.
We all like something to complain about and RTE gives us that. Well worth the license fee. The problem is that a lot of people are currently evading the fee through not having a TV.
Surely a series on the life and times of Bosco is long overdue?
British isles?
Mrs Brown's Boys is woeful drivel ... and yes it is on a lot this year as well ... don't mind Killinaskully at all ... but that Mrs Brown stuff ... All Round to Mrs Brown's is another one .... is the most awful and most unprofessional drivel ...
Mrs Brown is so 10 years ago ... she belongs then ... those Christmas episodes year in year out are like flogging a dead horse ... nothing new is coming from this show at all ...
More bad news came my way earlier ... turned on the TV and saw an advert for both Dancing with the Stars and Operation Transformation ... 2 more dead horses being flogged ... and these 2 are the epitome of the end of Christmas season being advertised during Christmas season ...
RTE is relying on these and other useless programmes that are well past their sell by date ... I've heard that dancing thing finishes after this season but would not hold my breath ... it will return just renamed like they used to do with Your A Star becoming Ireland's Got Talent and so forth ... betcha you'll get Strictly Dancing Ireland next time round !!!
It is time all of these yokes are scrapped ... and something new and different is done instead ... I for one am sick of seeing Mrs Brown, so called stars dancing and mildly overweight people being upset by TV bullies ...
How he could tell his story about the sexual abuse he suffered in the 80's. Kept in a box. Repeatedly fisted and nobody did anything about it. The ba5stards even filmed it. Shocking.
I switched on our bog channels and they had the chase uk on one of them and the chase Australia on an other at the same time.
They play that shite all year round. The Christmas programming was complete shite.
Yea be interesting to hear about his darker side and drug addition struggles of his life. God knows what he was up to in that box of his.🙂
But The Chase isn't on RTE.
It's on Virgin Media.
Well all the whole free to air through your tv licence was dire over the Christmas. Not just rte.
It's so annoying to see that ad for dancing with the stars over and over. Never watched it and never will. I thought i read somewhere that it was finishing up, maybe that was something else, I really don't like RTE. Your always certain to get a particular narrative without fail.
On christmas night my father in law put on mrs brown’s boys hastily. Jesus christ it is s hite. The amount of people in this country who get a laugh out of a tv programme using foul language.
christmas bonusses must have been good this year at rte!
I only use my Television now to watch live sport or a movie. I will only generally watch a movie on BBC, no adds. I hate watching news, it is all bad and i mind ends up completely seeing through it. I will keep n eye on the weather.
TG4 is a great station, not bad for a gang a muckers from Connemara, go h'an a mhaith ar fad, Bula Bus etc.
It is what it is. I would not be griping over it. There are lots of funny books to read, oodles of online pornography to watch, extensive volumes of online music to listen to - GO TO YOUR LOCAL FOR 5 PINTS ???? - catch a play, write something, tidy your bedroom, do some work, harass that person who deserves it most in your opinion, ring an old friend you have not heard from in a while, find a quiet space and sit in it contemplating your existence, look at a 20 year old photo album, fantasize erotically about tying an attractive colleague to an inverted sexual apparatus and molesting her extensively until they eventually submit in gratifying ecstasy to your whimsical commands?
Is Bosco a "he" I could never work that one out for sure. Case could be made they were Irelands first none binary celebrity 😂
MBB just reminds me of Extras at this stage, with Brendan o'carroll a more pathetic Andy Millman. A multimillionaire sure, but probably miserable.
Rte needs the Dancing and OT shows, as they provide so much filler material for other shows. It's all cyclical.
Tubs and Darcys radio shows are filled with 'content' and interviews about OT & DWTS for the next 6 weeks. The Late Late Show will have guests from both shows too.
Talk to Joe
You could phone Joe
Most people have even given up complaining about RTÉ which just shows how irrelevant and insignificant the organisation has become- when people stop talking about you, it really is time you need to start listening - the company complains about licence fees and then delivers sh1te programming and wonders why people don’t support them anymore.
With TSTM being able to stay off the books they could run it for 20 years without anyone ever knowing how much it makes or loses.
Mrs Browns Boys is a BBC programme. I don’t know why people are complaining about RTE showing it, it has a huge audience of people watching it (mainly in Dublin, their sense of humour is very similar to the British) and it costs fück all to show.
The only reason I watch Mrs. Brown's Boys.
