First off, I'm a massive Still Game fan whose watched every episode since the beginning.
For me, it's one of the greatest sitcoms ever written and I for one am glad that Ford and Greg decided to bring it back when they did. I would have hated the last episode to have been the Hootenanny trip which I actually don't like as much as some of the newer installments.
That being said, while I agree that the later episodes lack something compared to the old ones, I think the IMDB ratings are a little preposterous.
Heck even the weakest Still Game episodes make me laugh more than most sitcoms these days. It's certainly not gone as bad as Benidorm or Mrs Browns Boys!
This particular outing did make me chuckle a few times with the highlights being Tam's "Robin" comment, Winston losing his rag at the community centre and Jack and Victor's hilarious sobbing video.
Hopefully more international audiences will embrace the new stuff so that the ratings get a little bit of a boost.
So to all the haters....get it up yous!
