| Comment | Like a lot of shows, they start where the comedy comes from what the characters say and there's a switch to the comedy being what the characters do.
Maybe I struggle to relate to the show anymore - when Still Game started it was a show about characters in their 70s who would have been around the same age as my grandfather. He sadly passed 10 years ago so it's possible that I just don't related to the show now in the same way.
But I also feel that the show just feels less real. You look at a lot of the early seasons, the plots were things like Jack wanting to move house to be nearer Victor, a group of pensioners struggling to deal with the cold, Victor feeling lonely because he has a poor relationship with his son. All fairly bog standard old people problems but the comedy came from the characters, the plot lines of the show themselves were nothing special or interesting. |
