Could this be the worst sitcom ever?, 3 April 2002
Author: Cameron_457 from Ireland

Very possibly, yes. This is the worst example of TV today. Loud annoying television personality Davina McColl's complete lack of talent or comic timing aren't helped by a terrible setting and horrificly "ironic" dialogue.

McColl must have had incriminating pictures of Irish comedy genius Ed Byrne but his turn in this tripe is one of the only redeeming features of the show. Although he looks embarrassed all the way through it, his infectious good humour and energy make you forget Davina's annoying cackling or Tristan Gemmils constipated acting abilities.

Its basically a complete rip off of Friends complete with adjoining flats and an ultra trendy coffee shop and as well as being a stupid show, its also annoying and unfunny.

A wasted opportunity for Byrnes comedy talents (his follow up show, "The Riordans" was slightly less worse but horrofic all the same) and a real insult on TV viewers intelligence everywhere.
