Mrs. Brown's Boys - The Original Series

2006–2009 · 1 season

A raucous, warm-hearted sitcom that feels like sitting in a chaotic family kitchen, full of sharp insults and accidental bloopers.

Created by: Brendan O'Carroll
Starring: Brendan O'Carroll, Jennifer Gibney, Eilish O'Carroll

Overview: Agnes Brown - a widow living in Ireland - runs her home with an iron fist as she manages her sons, daughter Kathy and best friend Winnie. Add elderly Grandad, various in-laws and grandchildren to the mix and Mrs Brown usually has her hands full. Funny, outspoken and never at a loss for words (especially profanity), she gets through life and the daily grind with a caustic remark and a loving wink. What makes the show different is that the "fourth wall" is broken often leaving in the bloopers.
