Very well executed

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I think this is a forgotten gem. I rewatched it recently and forgot how funny it is, not to mention so many great cameos. Launched so many careers. The characters are perfectly written and perfectly cast. I first thought it should have carried on for more series' but actually it would have become boring and repetitive. The fact that they recast Matt didn't seem to have any detriment whatsoever. Both are equally funny in their own way. The whole show hasn't aged at all and the jokes and situations are all relevant nowadays. Soon, I'm sure someone will remake it which would be great but for the time being I love it. If you haven't seen it I would strongly suggest you check it out.

This show is a completely under-rated classic! Matthew Malone is one of the funniest comedy sitcom creations ever and show go down in the books next to Cosmo Kramer and all the other greats. Mandy is hot and poor bloody Martin, what a sad tosser! Its a shame they stopped making this show cause I love it, my fave Matt was Benny from the first series but his replacement was wicked too. An all round great show and one of the best of the 90s. Gotta love the themetune too. If you dont know this show too well then go check out the re-runs.

Laugh-track tagged comedy, predictable one-liners, shallow character development. Seemingly desperate for controversy (slightly rude language, shag this, shag that etc.) to try and pick up some kind of youth audience. This is a lame excuse for television entertainment. You have to wonder if it was obvious that it was poor when they were making it, or whether it just became obvious after a few years of sitting on a shelf!

I've been watching repeats of the first series of "Game On" and it soon reminded me why I stopped watching the second series. No offence to the other actors involved but without Ben Chaplin it's just another bland, middle-of-the-road sit-com.If you want to see an incredibly well drawn and brilliantly portrayed agoraphobic loser, interacting wonderfully ineptly with his almost-as-sad flatmates, then watch the first series. After that all you'll get is three rather bland characters (funny how Martin and Mandy didn't seem so bland with Chaplin's Matthew around) wondering aimlessly through their empty lives and occasionally being vaguely amusing.Come back Ben! We miss you!
