The Drew Carey Show was better and that was an occasional time killer. The acting isn't particularly professional. IMBD ratings are becoming a negative indicator.

This extremely fine & funny Scottish comedy series is seldom seen or noticed or even promoted south of the border. Very much underrated in England. Reason probably is that the pinheads who run the BBC these days do not understand the Glasgow dialect or appreciate what the series says. They still have their heads into carp like the Vicar of Dibley. Truth is that Scotland consistently produces some of our finest comics and writers. The Big Yin excluded, the roots of Still Game comes from the earlier Absolutely and Chewin the Fat series. Scots produced but fielding numerous English, welsh & other performers. Still Game has grown over the six series to become a very warm hearted and lovable must. You can watch the episodes over and over again without loss. The characters just grow on you. Apart from the two main characters, Isa the gob, Tam, Navid, Booby the barman and the excellent Winston really shine. The best description I have heard of the series is: it's similar to Last of the summer wine - but funny! 'thebrokendrum' comments posted earlier are as expected from a scouser. Afteral scousers are famed for thinking themselves as the funniest, best music, best football etc etc. Well boys - you are not! You have the worst accent, the poorest comedy, football is mediocre et al. But you do have the biggest mouths and, above all, you kept the shellsuit fashion going well into the 21st century. Well done. In a region where the standard accepted local currency is stolen videos/cars/you name it - any comments on Still Game should be read with caution. Ken Dodd, Jimmy Tarbuk - hah.

Got to be the best laugh on TV since Red Dwarf. This is a refreshingly welcome comedy that had me rolling in stitches I thought I'd split open. With the drivel that is plaguing our screens for last few years, such as My Family or The IT Crowd to name but two, Still Game brings us right back to the standard of Fools And Horses. Here you'll find that like comedies such as Fools and Horses or Dads Army the characters are as important to the comedy as is the script. Thank God for Scottish humour.I wish I'd known about this in the first series instead of the third, now I'll have to see if my sides can take watching them on DVD.
