Miranda

Just read the book and found it light and funny too. You would have to know the show to appreciate it.

I`ve never watched Miranda, although after seeing clips from the shows, I wish I had, hopefully they`ll all be repeated. I think she`s great on Call the Midwife.

Thanks for that j07 I missed it last night as I was at friends, just watched it now and enjoyed it very much!

I have just watched it. It's great. I'm the only one in the family who likes her, DH can't stand her. She really makes me laugh out loud.

tried to watch her show but cannot find it funny - depends on your sense of humour I suppose.
Now the early series of The Big Bang Theory (before they seemed to lose the very funny script-writing and introduced the 'women') that has me laughing out loud (rare for me as it disconcerts the dog )

We always watch it and laugh our heads off and I'm sure I could hear my grandaughter cheering all the way from Gosport when Miranda finally got together with Gary. We then watched Lewis on +1 and found ourselves cheering when Lewis finally got together with Laura the pathologist. A good night for romance

I really like her, the show is a bit slapstick, she does fall off chairs and fences a bit too often, and it does meander into the realms of silliness quite a bit, but on the whole she makes me laugh and Miranda has a feel good factor about it and sometimes that's all you want.

I'm in the anti-Miranda camp. Something about her sets my teeth on edge.

annodomini yes my teeth are twitching to. I think it is the predictability of the slapstick, the facial expressions and the script. She is better as an actress/actor in my opinion.
glad it is not just me who wonders why she is so highly rated in her sitcom.

She is so highly rated because she makes people laugh... The show is a return to the less malevolent entertainment of the past, a more traditional relationship with an audience.

I like it.

And Mrs Brown's Boys...

some people find her funny no doubt - but I expect I am allowed to disagree and not be the only one.
perhaps because I remember old time slapstick comedy, the carry on films and Frankie Howerd's asides to the audience I get a distinct sense of deja vu. There are lots of non-malevolent comedy shows on which are not quite so predictable.
I stand by my previous comment re The Big Bang Theory which while American is not malevolent, is well scripted and very funny.

I do like Miranda Hart and think she's funny, and I enjoyed the first series (or was it two?) of Miranda. This time it is seeming a bit tired and predictable, and that squeaky sidekick of hers in the show really irritates me!

Such Fun

No, not that one! The very small blonde...

She's good. Grin gotta do emos the long way as am on Fire.

Like it when Miranda pushes her over.

feetlebaum - I love Mrs Brown's boys - and Miranda. I've always been quite clumsy and I'm tall.....maybe that's why I like her. Perhaps I'm identifying with her

I love it when you're on Fire jingl!

Grin

Love it when they all do the dance together t the end.

I have only very recently realised that Mrs Brown is a man. (thick)

You should have gone to Specsavers, Jingle

She (he) reminds me of my late mother-in-law.

Mrs Brown - not jingle.
