Hugely Disappointing

Well, have to say I was very disappointed with Meet The Magoons. Sanjeev Kohli was a great actor in Still Game, but him and his brothers attempt at writing a comedy fall flat on its face. Constant swearing, dire jokes, and poor plot lines lead to a crap "comedy". Its like the bits that fell off of Father Ted and Still Game: its an embarrassment. The first episode, in which the crew take part in a football tournament, was unimpressive, and it just goes downhill from there on. It does not try to improve itself, and continues with its poor attempts at having the nation in fits of laughter. The Disgusting language makes you believe your ears will rot off. I love comedy, particular one set in my home country of Scotland. I welcomed a comedy involving ethnic minorities, but this disgrace was just not worth its own time. Its ridiculous that Channel 4 gave the comedy a 9:30 time slot, and surprising it was aired at all. In its six episodes, it does not look at all deserving of another chance.
