I like this, it's basic silly humour, which is fine by me. Nothing funnier than someone being hit by a brick in my opinion.
it's not the best sitcom in the world, but it isn't as bad as angelo's.

Not a brilliant episode. Amused me in a couple of places, and a reasonable 'lesson' at the end, but I suspect I shall be the only one with a single positive word to say about it.
I actually prefered that one to the last episode. The first half, anyway.
Really? I am actually rather surprised.
The Chinese (?) guy was better this week. I think his own kids get a bit more annoying in each episode though.
Haven't even bothered with this show (or thread), as I'm not a fan of Ade Edmondson.
Is he still playing the same character he always plays?
I'm not particularly a fan either. Not that I dislike him, I just have no particular opinion either way. And no, it's not the same character. Still loves the old punk scene though.
I liked Eddie and Vivian, but I'm not really interested in seeing Ade anywhere else. But Rik... 
I love Rik and Ade. Can't they do a TV show together?
I still like the Chinese guy. "Can you let me in I thought I saw a shark." "Dont worry it was just a big poo." I lol'ed at that. Oh, my juvenile humor.
As did I, as did I.
Utterly, utterly feeble. It's on its last legs after THREE episodes. The Chinese lad's lines get longer and because the audience starts laughing at the start of 'em you can't hear the rest of what he's saying. Not that I'd want to. And what's the point of his stern look before becoming jokey? He's done it a few times now.
The kids are unbearable and for the life of me I can't see what the point of the best friend is. And the scene in the pub with the bully was excruciating.
It looks like a first draft and nobody's bothered to change it. To think Edmondson was writing this in one room and Saunders was writing Jam and Jerusalem in another. Dear God!
Watched an episode of Frasier the other day. Great plot, set-ups, running gags, dry humour. A million miles away from this.
You're comparing class with crass David H so Teenage Kicks has no chance in that league.
I think last night episode was the worst one. I think when it gets recommisioned for a second series they should get rid of the chinese guy just because he is there to be a racial stereotype and not to be a character. However i still think the general idea of it being about a loser Dad is very good and there have been some funny moments and so to totaly dismiss it as unfunny is snobbish.
Saw Ade on that One Show thing yesterday.
I think he said he knew he'd become the comedy establishment and he hated himself!
Bless him.
I saw that too. Well, the general interview anyway. The bit where they were talking about what Jennifer would watch was just, well, awful. He looked so uncomfortable!
