Graham Linehan has failed with this one. It is an awful attempt at humor. I was so excited for this show and it disappointed me so so much. The IT Crowd worked, it was no Fr Ted but it worked. The Walshes is awful. Linehan has spent too long in the UK to understand contemporary Irish society. His characters are labored and poorly acted. Diet of Worms are not funny in this show. It is way way way worse that the YouTube series it was based on. Fr Ted is comedy gold, simply the greatest TV sitcom ever. The Walshes is more Damo and Ivor than Ted. My recommendation to any prospective viewers is forget Linehan is involved in this and that somebody as talented as him could produce such sh1te and you perhaps may enjoy it.
