Re: Green Wing
I taped it last Friday thinking it might be a decent sitcom. I was majorly disappointed. I will however tape it again tonight while i am working in the hope that it gets better.

Re: Green Wing
Its the second worst comedy to grace UK tv, after Smack The Pony and i hear STP are involved in this utter mince called Green Wing. Its so laid back a funny part is no longer funny. I watched it last week in shock at how bad it was only that got a 'heh' out of me was the piercing assholes part.
The direction is awful and who had the idea of speeding up nearly every scene till they get to the talking then slowing it normal rate then speeding it up again after the scene, so nnoying.
Its as bad as a comedy that is not funny but has a laughter track in the backgroun, like that BBC one with that guy Truman from eastenders and everyone was black in it, very unfunny.
Every single clip trailer for Green Wing is not funny, but you can see its potential if done different it could make you laugh and have you in stitches but no it chose not to. Its trying to be something its not, most likely trying to be Scrubs, but its awful and i hope ch4 ratings slump and they bin it
p.s even worse it on friday night !!!

Re: Green Wing
I watched it last night, or a repeat of it or something, honest to god it doesn't really matter to me now.
This show is very, very poor.

Re: Green Wing
The difference is that Grumpy Old Men is funny people being funny about things that are amusing, whereas Green Wing is a team of writers seeing just how many times they can flog that horse before it dies, which they have since indirectly informed me is 'none'.

Re: Green Wing
Green Wing was good. Some points were a little overplayed, especially the irritating anestesioligist. Quite alot of good points however.
I'm sure it'll settle into good comedy after some teething problems etc.
Overall

Re: Green Wing
Has anyone noticed that Henry's opinions on posters/tv/what's funny lately has been extremely poor lately?
Is he going cold turkey or something?
He used to be cool, please dont' tell me it was the drugs.

Re: Green Wing
For the most parts, it isn't funny. Had it been more random sketches, they yes I would have enjoyed it far more, instead they made it into a storyline and are making lame jokes based upon the story, not making jokes because they make you laugh

I saw Early Doors for the first time last night. It's much better than Green Wing...

Re: Green Wing
I for some reason was mixing up Early Doors with Eyes Down for a second, and was about to Jihad to the max.

Sorry, but I'm addicted to Takeshi's Castle. Channel 4 just doesn't enter the equation any more.
