I have the first boxset, and am currently watching season 6 on the telly. This show is just fantastic, each episode is a Gem! Season 6 is just as good, the only let down would perhaps be the 'guest stars' (It doesn't need them!) that aside, its still as fresh and inventive as the first season. The first episode with the fight for the benches had me in stitches!
So to Johns comment....a let down? Is it Buggery!!!

Perfect for tiding viewers over until the next series of Still Game, this DVD contains more of the same earthy and disarmingly down-to-earth humour which has become Still Game's trademark.
Don't expect intricate or deeply subversive humour, for this is not 'deep' stuff - rather, it's a very noble and simplistic attempt to do what Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill do best - make people laugh!
In this series, power cuts provide much hilarity, with the superbly acted 'Shug' instructing the local pensioners on how to defend themselves, with hilarious results, and Isa's attempts to find a new man in her life also provide much amusement, along with summertime quarrels over who gets the best seat in the park. More dramatic and serious plotlines are also explored with the arrival of a new baby in Craiglang, criticism of big business, and one of the main characters even has a brush with death...
This series is not winding down, in fact, the humour is not only still coming thick and fast, but the excellent writers actually even seem to be exploring plotlines which provide more serious acting opportunities. Still Game is a down to earth, unpretentious comedy classic of modern times.

Well what can I say - I am a huge fan of Still Game and will continue to be one forever more. Jack, Victor and pals never fail to bring a smile to my face. I do agree that this series has been slightly more serious than the others but they after all old men and as much as we would love them to, they wont live forever. Come on who can forget Navid catching Isa shopping in Hyperdales, an absolute classic - like the lady said "she never eat two of anything". Love it, love it, love it. Go buy this and you will be guaranteed a laugh

Old style situation comedy
This is Scottish comedy of the old-fashioned kind. But there is a place for this type of comedy if it's done well and this is much better than I thought it would be. Read more
