Get Me Out of Here: Brendan O’Carroll as Agnes Brown in the BBC’s dismal sitcom I reach the year 2013, the end of the third season, and this is where things change: for the next nine years, Mrs Brown’s Boys became an annual infliction, abandoning the full-series format entirely. In 2014, O’Carroll also released Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie, a theatrically released spin-off that was even worse than the series, if only because it was three times as long as a regular episode. Recurring jokes, such as Mrs Brown’s son Dermot showing up in a preposterous costume, are the kind of short-shelf-life shtick that would surely have been retired were the show airing week-in, week-out. I’m not sure Mrs Brown’s Boys really is the worst TV show around.
