In order to get my husband laughing again, we have a 'Mrs Brown's Boys' DVD at Christmas too.
At first he couldn't be persuaded that 'she' is really a man. But he believes me now,(Brendan O'Carrell has a new show where he is 'himself') and if I annoy him (not often) he grins and says, "That's nice!"
New TV is a great success. Watched it last night - the remote changes channels very quickly and the sound is good.
