A treat ?
Russell Brand ? Just what kind of clowns write for MSN ?
If it was a public hanging that would be a treat - if Russell Brand was rocketted out of this Universe that would be a treat too. If I never hear see or have to read about this utter waste of space and his leary ex wife again, I for one would be very happy.

Russell Brand??? The man is a total fool. Anyone who likes him must be brain dead. It's all hype. How can he look at his films and shows and thinks he is funny. Some people of today just follow like sheep and believe what they are told without using their own judgement and common sense.
God help us.
There needs to be some kind of biblical plague where these ars*holes all over the world are somehow sussed out and consequently wiped out. Her comes Sodom and Gamorrah!!.

I don't know whats worse that so-called summer of sport or the crap you suggested
18/06/2012 13:33
I hate football and I hate Russell Brand's so called entertainment! I'd rather turn the TV off while the football is on if there are no other worthwhile choices. THERE IS AN 'OFF' BUTTON you know!! Go out and get some exercise - go for a walk!

Ithought it said "Russell Brand will be shot in front of a live audience" - now that I would watch...
18/06/2012 14:11
bodie76 - then don't watch it. watch Emmerdale or something you CAN understand!

The Sci-fy Falling Sky isn't to bad and worth watching if you like Sci-fi. If you don't like Sci-fi than out of the choices given, I don't fancy the rest of it and as for Russel Brand I wouldn't watch that if you paid me or anything else he is in.

I think that I just watched an advert for sky atlantic

Brand ,unscripted,thank God I do not have Sky Atlantic. THIS apology for man can not be trusted to hold a conversation with anyone without upsetting the equlibribriam. The only thing that interests him is the sound of his own screechy voice,he has no tallant,needs a wash preferably with a fire hose. Are Sky prepared for the bad publicity they will no doubt get.

Not sure about the rest, but Falling Skies is surprisingly quite a good show. The best way to describe it is Homefront meets War of the Worlds. It's one of the better recent Spielberg ventures, but of course it still has its faults: strange CGI moments and typical annoying female characters who think they must try to prove their worth. Although, with the latter I've come to expect it as they seem to appear in everything. Sinbad has the potential to be good, but the cheesy trailer makes me question it. As for the rest; American comedy is rarely funny, Russell Brand is Russell Brand, and does anyone really want to watch a show about the lecherous Andrew Lloyd Webber? Watch Falling Skies, rent Game of Thrones and when September comes; watch the new season of Dexter.

The cast of geordie shore should sue who ever they bought their tan from because it clearly wasn't meant to make them look like umpa lumpas.

tv been rubbish at late. its ok if you like football and i do not .and for the olympics i will not be watching that rubbish . so the tv will be off.so the 5 per cent of us who do not like sports will have to suffer. for the 95 per cent of people who do like sports good for you.

Brands new "series" sounds strangely like something another (and more funny) comedic Russell does for BBC3...
18/06/2012 13:52
