It's never too early to write something off, Mark.

It seems from the majority of views on here that Grandma's House was a work of art. How can anyone really enjoy a show where the main star cannot act?

I'm not sure about a majority... just that those who do like it, like it with a vocal passion, which is fair enough. Personally I thought it was terrible.

Reported by who - people involved in the show? Hardly likely to announce it gets worse, are they?
No, reviewers and critics.

I thought it was terrible personally.

(I happened to like Episode 1 anyway as it happens. Loving Mark Heap.)
Indeed.
I liked the family enough. Plus Mark Heap and Matthew Holness were great additions.
I didn't love it but found it enjoyable, I'm definitely sticking with it.
It was alright. Entertaining enough and I laughed a fair bit. Not the best thing ever but perfectly decent.

I actually watched the repeat as well last night, so it must be good!
Some how it seems far better this week
Not sure why
I am enjoying this
First half I thought I was watching the same episode as last week (when I thought it was promising). After tonight I think it's a bit "so what".
Really enjoyed it tonight, just a fun watch.
Enjoying these characters. A nice, fun and actually fairly sweet-natured comedy - and there aren't too many of them thesedays. 
The dialogue has a nice rhythmn and a bit painful I've had the thing about getting people to listen to my material not being used.
