Greendale社区大学的学生有些「特殊」。这倒不是说他们身体上有什么缺陷，而是因为他们的构成千奇百怪－－有高中时代的「差生」，有刚刚离婚的家庭主妇，还有「活到老学到老」的老人。没有了象牙塔的神圣感，社区大学圆了这些人的「高等教育」梦。 故事的主人公是一位说话节奏很快的律师（Joel McHale扮演），他本来有大学文凭，但那文凭却阴差阳错地作废了。不可能回学校重新念书，他选择加入社区大学。思想活跃的他很快结交了一群好友，并在他们当中组织了一个学习研讨会。事实上，他们对彼此的了解，可能比对书本和作业的了解更深刻，更有价值。

Mrs. Brown's Boys became a runaway success upon its initial broadcast. Every episode aired won its timeslot for RTÉ, with an average viewership of 753,500 in January, 2011. One episode's rating beat that of RTÉ's own ratings giant The Late Late Show, with 856,000 viewers tuning in to watch. However, critics disliked the show. "The whole thing is entirely predicated on viewers finding a man dressed as a foul-mouthed elderly woman intrinsically funny," noted Bernice Harrison in the Irish Times. "If you do, you’re away in a hack (and the viewing figures are astronomical), but if you don’t, and you think that died out with Les Dawson and Dick Emery, then it’s a long half-hour." The Irish Independent said that Mrs Brown's Boys was the type of TV programme that "that makes you vaguely embarrassed to be Irish". The Daily Telegraph's Sam Richards noted that show's comedy has a "rudimentary nature", consisting of "an old-fashioned blend of silly voices and slapstick, played out in front of a live studio audience who collapse into giggles at the mere mention of the word “willy”.
