Oh dear...does this show really merit a page on Wikipedia?. I've seen two episodes now, and this show must really represent a new low in British comedy. No amount of canned laughter rescues it. At least when Lenny Henry did black stereotypes they were credible, likeable and funny. 160.84.253.241 10:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
It isn't in the same league as Tittybangbang, it is a very different show. Tittybangbang is less of a 'conventional' sketch show. It has a different, more bizarre sense of humour (definitely that Mortimer touch), has depth and develops its characters, and I would say the script is cleverer. Little Miss Jocelyn tends to be more loud and outrageous. I thought that series 1 was funny and Jocelyn Jee seems like a nice person, but I wasn't so keen on series 2, because, although it had its funny, witty sketches, many were just over-repetitive, weren't developed and were sometimes just plain disgusting, using only gross out humour or large amounts of distasteful language to get laughs. Don't get me wrong, Jocelyn has some really funny sketches, but as a whole, I much prefer Tittybangbang, although I would say its a show that people should watch more than one episode of, as it appears to be a grower. I would also say that the quality of acting in Tittybangbang is remarkable - there is some real talent in the cast. CyberWiki ( talk) 02:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I have to say, I love this show. Nothing has given me as many laughs as this in a long time. However, some of the characters (Ignatious and Florence namely) are REALLY grating. Some of them always make me laugh though, like Paulette and Jiffy. I for one hope this show lasts for a long time. :) ( Cipher Destiny 21:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC))
Is it possible that this article deals with the show's characters in too much detail (compare with similar shows: 3 Non-Blondes and Lenny Henry in Pieces). The show was a brave (but failed) attempt at 'off-the-wall' comedy, and a new slant on combining 'Little Britain' lunacy with some clever caricatures of black British society. But; the very enthusiastically-written character descriptions are (some would say) actually funnier than they appeared in the show itself. Although many loved the show of course, many others (including existing JJE fans) were greatly disappointed with it, and the bulk of reviews were very poor.
Now the article risks appearing as an advertisement for the DVD. 160.84.253.241 10:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
The Characters section of this article, like the rest of the article, had no references. So it appears that it's all Original Research. SO I removed it. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I would say that that is a little uneccessary. Characters may be harder for editors of this article to find information on, because the show is not one of those BIG shows like Little Britain or The Catherine Tate Show, but this doesn't merit their removal, really.
