AlphonseCapone Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Did Peter like it last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester™ Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have never watched the show but interestingly it appears to be getting the same sort of reaction that the two national BBC re-boots got recently (Are You Being Served and Porridge). Message to the beeb. Stop wasting our money on trying to bring back shows from a previous era that doesn't work now. Get some decent writers and start anew. The problem with that is many go 'these new comedies arent as good as the old ones. We really need the old ones again!'. As for last night, I thought it was pretty decent. I had very low expectations of this new series, as I'm usually of the opinion you should never go back, but last night's I felt was fairly funny.

EH11_2NL Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Sounds like he's saying Mrs Browns boys and Father Ted are pish. He's right. Murder TV .But then to follow that with 'Us Scots are far funnier'. Eh, naw. Think Gary The Tank Commander. Diabolical stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambogemz Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Perhaps a bit of the magic was lost during the fall out of the two main actors/writers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Enjoyed the second episode, a vast improvement on the first. Obviously not as good as it used to be but if the standard for the rest of the series is at least as good as EP2 then it'll be an enjoyable watch.

Locky Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Friday's wasn't as funny I don't think, but it was a bit more like the old episodes. Actors seemed more comfortable and what not. I'm not liking these new characters pointlessly coming into it though. The Irish neighbour from the first episode and this junkie that lived with Pete, who seems to play a big part in episode 3. I don't think Still Game falls under the same category as the other old shows that have been remade. Still Game never really ended, it just kinda stopped. Carrying on was always on the cards. I agree though that the classics shouldn't really be tampered with. Look at Only Fools for example. They've not made an episode for 15 years yet it's still brilliant. My heart wants to see Nicholas Lyndhurst and David Jason reunite for a sort of final send off, but my head says don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 2007 series on Netflix. Having missed Still Game until it came onto Netflix, I caught up with that series a couple of weeks ago. It was not as strong as the earlier stuff and closer in feel to what's been in the last two episodes. It's still better than many sitcoms you'll see and I wouldn't expect it to be side-splitting every minute of the show. I found it interesting to see the auld guys now that the actors are actually getting auld. Made it better for me. With all these shows, though, you get a new series and it reminds you of John Cleese and Connie Booth's wisdom in stopping Fawlty Towers after 12 episodes.

BM1874 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Didn't enjoy that one on first viewing Will watch again because, whilst it had funny moments (the penguin and riddler scene for example) I don't know, methadone Mick is not my cup of tea. For example. Episode 2 showed him meeting Winston and Boabby but he knew jack and victor or more oddly, they knew him? May have missed something but will watch it again and hope it's better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Last 2 episodes have been more like it from the Craiglang gang. As I said before the first episode was fine but I knew they would get better and they have. Loving Methadone Mick since hes come in, losing Pete The Jackey was always going to be a loss to the show as when hes in episodes he is hilarious. Methadone Mick is a perfect replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensferryjambo Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I love Still Game but have been struggling to get into the new series. I have to say though I thought the last series before it stopped was starting to run out of ideas. I also thought it stopped at the right time but for all the wrong reasons. Methadone Mick and other such Ned / Junkie / Weegie characters have been tried again and again by multiple Scottish TV programmes and IMO Mick doesn't work or fit into the Still Game set up. It hasn't been great but it has been far from awful. Hopefully it will get better as it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
