:''For the catchphrase, see Newspaper extra.'' ''Extra! Extra! Read All About It!'' is an Irish television sitcom that aired on RTÉ 1 for one season in 1993. The show was written by and starred stand-up comedian Morgan Jones. The show was notable for its negative reception. Writing in the ''Connacht Sentinel'', journalist Declan Tierney gave the programme a negative review: "to say that this is a pathetic attempt at comedy is being kind to "Extra! Extra! Read All About It!"" and stated "the only indication that it ''is'' a comedy comes from the canned laughter, which is over-done and often goes on for so long that it is impossible to hear the start of the next sentence".〔Tierney, Declan. "New "Comedy" Sets the cringe alarms ringing". ''Connacht Sentinel'', 9 November 1993, pg. 9.〕 Writer Colm Tóibín stated ''Extra! Extra!'' was "probably the worst programme RTÉ has ever shown". 〔Tóibín, Colm "The Very Worst, Anywhere". ''The Sunday Independent'', 14 November 1993 pg. 17.〕 ''Extra! Extra!'' was later included in an ''Irish Independent'' list of the worst Irish TV programmes.〔 The name of the show comes from the phrase "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" formerly used by street news vendors to sell newspaper extras. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extra! Extra! Read All About It!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
