    no dont agree here. This episode far surpassed any of its previous ones this season. Too much of that tired ran its course joke with fair city one, not enough Buzz, no interaction with the Viper or group episodes, the new guard is like something out of Killinaskully as well.

    they just seemed to be trying to hard in previous episodes not to repeat the same jokes and wanted to change the comedy aspects that are the core of the show and the additions of Eddies girlfriend and the hot red head from Love Hate really deprived us (me!) of proper hardy buck craic..

    however tonight was like old school HB and it was great! still life in the boys yet!

    Great episode.

    Great balance of characters, not too much or too little of any of them.

    By far the best this season.

    Thought Ricky from Babylon 5 was excellent.

    Thought the funniest moment was when Seamus landed up at the site and got out of the car and told one of the lads to turn off the car radio :pac:

    Isn't the fella who was calling Eddie soft on the site the same fella from that Bord Bia ad.

    No sign of Aloysius yet? him and Salmon are the strongest secondary characters on the show.

    Ya that's the guy from the Bord Bia ad, he also played Darragh in Ros na Run.

    Just watching this now. It is funny how? It is to comedy what Jackie Healy-Rae is to politics.

    Ah yes. I am glad I was wearing my tight belt when he came out with that cracker! I am not sure whether it was the timing, the delivery or the quality of the content which was worse. Would I be correct in believing that the fans of this show would be largely rural?

    Is Castletown the real name of the town that they film in? looks like a nice enough town.

    So no one is willing to discuss the comedy merits of this show? Fair enough. Tells me all I need to know really. It won't stand up to any sort of criticism and no one is willing defend it.

    I dont think its a really funny show but I really liked episode 3 when they were working on the site and going on about nepotism and cronyism, I just loved that part.

    But it is supposed to be a comedy! WTF is funny about this show. Could someone please tell me?

    Is it meant to be traditional sit com or obscure Goonish or Pythonesque? Is it modern satire? Where are the parts that we are supposed to laugh or even chuckle? I just don't get it. Someone please, please tell me - how is this funny!!!!

    I think the comedy stepped up a notch this season, in terms of the story lines its bit like its always sunny...Philadelphia.

    It's a mockumentary, previous seasons had a very docu/mocumentary feel about them, this season not as much.

    What episodes did you watch?
