I admit it wasn't an instant hit with me, but once I had watched it a few times on DVD it grew and I think both series have their hilarious moments. I think the clue is in your comment about this being from the same people who brought you Still Game. There are two issues here; 1) no it wasn't as Greg Hemphill had no input, and 2) it ISN'T Still Game so no comparison can be made. At least it brought a few unknown faces into the public eye (the 'little & large' new boys Woody & Wallace were brilliant).
It wasn't everyone's cup of tea but must have been popular enough to get a 2nd series
