Stunned that a programme which I reckon still had a lot of legs [arf] has been prematurely cancelled.

One of the few promising, different - and marketable! - programmes that BBC3 put out... but no, they'd rather show endless Russell Howard, American ******* Dad and My Anorexic Chav Sister's Spitroast Wedding.

Bah.

Though in retrospect, I'd probably watch that, to be fair.

Idiots

Totally shocked too. The show was doing incredibly well for itself so I am baffled at the decision to axe it. Bladdy BBC, the *****! ***fully star out swear words***

Has Lee Nelson's well good show being cancelled yet?

I didn't think this was anything too special when I saw the first few episodes, but this is made to look like Shakespearian levels of writing compared to Lee Nelson's show.

Meh, it's not even that funny. Still, that's the recession for you!

How is this due to the recession?

- Friends
- Scrubs
- How Not To Live Your Life
- Family Guy/American Dad
- How I Met Your Mother
- Gavin & Stacey
- My Name Is Earl
- The Big Bang Theory
- The IT Crowd
- Not Going Out
- The Inbetweeners
- Wilfred

Mongrels never appealed to me in the slightest - I forced myself through a couple of episodes and could never get into it. Was trash in my opinion. Bolded just incase some of you get on your high horses.

Tummy · 18 Jan 2012 at 19:32

Half of the things you listed aren't funny

Pigeon_Killer · 18 Jan 2012 at 19:36

Bar Nelson and a few funny references I thought it was a steaming pile of turd.

After the big hype it got on Scot Mills show I tuned in expecting something really funny.

It was pants.

To you. And I respect your opinions as others should

Wasn't that a show for children. Now! seriously, it was a terrible show.

Alpherah · 18 Jan 2012 at 20:48

Being honest, i thought it was crap =/
Give me Russell Howard anytime over it.

Glaucus · 18 Jan 2012 at 20:57

Couldn't get into it, it just wasn't funny so I'm not surprised. It had a following but not main stream enough.

simisker · 18 Jan 2012 at 20:58

Pah, philistines.

You deserve all the 2 Pints Of Lager..., World's Craziest Fools and (insert whatever MacFarlane next squeezes out here) that you're inevitably going to end up with. Woo you
