I was quite disappointed with last nights episode. There is still a hole left in the show from the Garvey's departure.

The new family is okay although the grandad is too similar to Madge, and the little girl is annoying. The writer is really out of touch with what's current, the whole kids acting like Honey Boo Boo was funny maybe 3 or 4 years ago, now it's just annoying if anything.

I think this show is running out of steam. Which is a shame because it's one of my favourite shows on TV. I blame this due to Derren (the creator) writing every episode. It would help if some other writers came in to introduce new characters and shake the show up a bit. The problem is by writing every episode Derren is starting to come around in circles, his new characters are just different renditions of past characters.

We need the Garvey's back, or even the Dykes (they grew on me). I'll see how this series goes as we have some surprise appearances along the way, although last night was a very weak opening.
