8 Out of 10 Cats

8 out of 10 cats is by far the shittest of all the shitty comedy panel shows. Anyone with half a brain knows that these panel shows are scripted, but this one is so cheesy and contrived that it's an utter embarrassment. Jimmy Carr is an unfunny twat, the panel guests are equally dire. It's only redeeming feature is Sean Lock, who is always good.

EMS RATING: 0 OUT OF 10.

I enjoyed this tonight. Jimmy Carr and Sean Lock both a pleasure to watch as ever. Plus, Peter Andre made a complete twat of himself, which is always a bonus.
 

I thought the quality of the last series was droping a little, but I think this new series has really picked up. It was at it's best when Dave Spikey was on it though.
 

I thought the episode the other night with Lee Mack was brilliant. But I've had that bloody Herman Crespo song stuck in my head since.
 

David Mitchell's looking very slim.
 

I think the idea behind the show is absolute crap (statistics about hopelessly unimportant matters - excuse me while I yawn) but occasionally the show really works despite the dumb concept. The BB specials are a great way to not watch BB and still see the worst of its idiocy and see it mocked as it should be.

I'm pretty sure I'd get tired of Jimmy Carr if I lived in Britain (the man is in *everything* but the news) but as I don't and can thus control my weekly/monthly Carr dosage, it's not really a problem and I still love him to bits. Sean Lock is also in good form on the show.

As with any panel show, sometimes the guests make me want my bury myself in sand but on average the show is plenty watchable.

I was waiting for someone to find something. I was going to do it myself but couldn't have been bothered.

I stand corrected, but surely he's not doing Channel 4 weather yet, is he?

Only because he is too busy.
 

Anyway, I disagree with the notion that he's in everything. I rarely get to see him.
 

Generally all the panel shows seem to have a rotation system going on at the mo. It's the same bunch of people playing musical chairs. It's not too bad though cos most of them are ace.
 

Except Phil Jupitas.
