Quite enjoying kind of sums up this programme. It's very, very patchy, but has it's moments. Take last week for example. The last five minutes were brilliant, the rest was gash.

I'd go along with that. The scene with the horse was probably the funniest bit of the whole series.

the thick of it......absolutely brilliant from start to finish
Vous les femmes, it was called, on BBC2. Not sure if it was a one off or a series.

I quite enjoyed the party episode and thought it was really taking off at that point, the it went downhill again.

Surprised to hear Celebrity Juice taking a bashing as I am absolutely LOVING IT. However I've only fairly recently discovered it so perhaps I just can't tell if there's a drop in quality from earlier series'.
Trouble is it's tucked away on ITV2, a channel I would never ordinarily watch, and it's only by chance that I stumbled across it one time, fully expecting to hate it. Now I'm hooked. But I still feel slightly uncomfortable tuning into ITV2.
As for Fresh Meat, I've not been overly impressed to be honest. It seems very obvious to me. Not a great deal of jokes, and to be honest, not an awful lot of storyline either. I think it's just trying too hard to be cool. It's still perfectly watchable, and I'll finish the series, but I can't help but think it could have been so much more.
Otherwise there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of laugh out loud stuff about these days. I've been watching a lot more drama than usual, with Hidden, Spooks and Dexter recently tickling my fancy.
Looking forward to seeing if the new Gervais/Merchant comedy Life's Too Short can live up to the hype. I actually thought Extras, by the end of it, was truly excellent television, up there with The Office, so it'd be impressive if they can hit the spot for a third time.
Biggest laughs of the year otherwise? Had to be the return of Shooting Stars. Consistently BRILLIANT lunacy. Never once fell flat, just relentlessly high tempo silliness that always elicited big laughs from me, every episode without fail.
Have to say I think American comedy shows seem to be very weak right now. I used to enjoy the harmless, easy to enjoy comedy stylings of Frasier for many a year, and before that Cheers and to a lesser extent Seinfeld. However right now the only funny show they've given us is the excellent Curb Your Enthusiasm. Other than that there just seems to be an endless stream of lowest common denominator, cheesy, sappy pap. I can't even tell the difference between Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock or any number of similarly filmed so-called comedy shows.
Where's the edge?

Did you see Derren Brown's The Gameshow last Friday? That reminds me of An Idiot Abroad. Don't get it really.

In the car on the way to see the horse and then the horse scene, I was in tears. Did you notice that he was off his head listening to his Ipod and the earphones weren't even plugged in?
Definitely the funniest thing so far. Rest of it is ok.
