this show is the good part of my childhood, the songs remain absolute bangers

Always loved this show its very nostalgic and is just overall an amazing show very enjoyable.

A staple for so many childhoods. Achieved an untouchable cult status of sorts.

Best show when I was a kid and best show now

Excellent show that doesn’t assume children don’t appreciate clever writing. Hilarious, entertaining, and so full of joy and passion

One of the best ways to learn the History stuff.

Such an amazing show, the cast is perfect, it never feels like it's talking down to kids and the jokes never miss! This is the noose at ten~

CLASSIC. Perfect balance or education and entertainment. I feel sorry for any generation what doesn’t get to experience this.

Mrs Brown's Boys

Mrs. Brown's Boys is a British-Irish award winning sitcom created by and starring writer and performer Brendan O'Carroll. The show is based on O'Carroll's stage plays about the character Agnes Browne, which were developed from books and straight-to-DVD films. The sitcom continues the stories of Agnes, now with the shortened surname "Brown", and her family who are played by real life close friends and family of O'Carroll's. After being slated by critics, the show has become a ratings success in both Ireland, where it is set, and the United Kingdom, where it is recorded. On 29 December 2012 the show began its third series. Mrs Brown's Boys is a co-production among BBC Scotland, BocPix and RTÉ.
