Friday Night Dinner (TV Series) The Jingle (2011) User Reviews

The boys are concerned and slightly uncomfortable when they catch Martin checking out now manhood with a magnifying glass, Adam is terrified that his dad is going to show him.

It's absolutely wonderful comedy, I am so annoyed at myself for not watching it, this had me laughing and chuckling throughout, less twisted than the first episode, but devilishly funny.

The banter between the boys is the absolute highlight, they are so incredibly childish, but so damned funny. That text message was just hilarious.

Jim is super creepy, but the scenes he appears in have me howling, Mark Heap is such a brilliant actor.

Love it, 8/10.

Sorry, but this is the worst one.

Friday Night Dinner has got to be one of the best discoveries I've made. Unfortunately, this episode is just not up to scratch with the others (save for The Au Pair, second in the hall of shame).

Like the Bottom episode Contest, this suffers from what I call 'Pilot Syndrome,' namely that the production values are grossly inferior to the rest of the series and it sticks out like a sore thumb, especially as it was broadcast out of production order.

I did not laugh once throughout this episode. Not even a repeat viewing changed my opinion.
