I don't like it but the people I watched it with are fans, they laughed quite a bit and I found some of it quite funny so I would say it was a hit.

I've always hated this sitcom, but for some reason I started watching the repeats of the second series on BBC 1, and then topped it off with the Christmas special, which I kinda enjoyed.
I dunno what's wrong with me. I don't seem to be so hate-filled anymore it seems. I've even started to watch The IT Crowd.

I didn't like The IT Crowd to start with but it grew on me, Gavin & Stacey just didn't.

I liked the Christmas special but it could have been better. I do like the characters though. Especialy Brin.
Sorry... NOT! |

By far and away the best thing on the box over Christmas. Great characters and an excellent story.
Go on then! Say something funny! Go on! |

At least it delays the next series of the sketch show.
That sounds interesting. Please, do tell me less, |

That was ACE! I actually love it so much! 
"Every joke is a tiny revolution," thought George Orwell. "Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny." |

Yey. There were some classic lines.
Smithy - "Why's he wearing a dress"
Ness - "I don't know"

ah, this is like seeing an old friend again! I love Gavin and Stacey, they've just created so many multilayered and endeering characters, you can't help but get immersed in it! Great to see them all back again

===POSSIBLE SPOILER===
Heard Ruth and James on the radio the other day. Ruth said about this being the last series and there will not be another one. Then James in the background said something like "Well, seeing as I'm not around anymore, it'll be difficult".
Could it be that Smithy dies in the final episode?

Smithy and Nessa are continuing their descent into the realm of grotesque characture - both are pitifully unfunny. Ditto Uncle Bryn.
Surprisingly perhaps, there is an appeal in the Gavin/Stacey axis; both give relatively understated and winning performances.
Overall, the show is poor. Appeals to the moron demographic? Sure, I can see that. Quality content? Not so much.

'I don't like it, I think it's rubbish, therefore anyone who does like it is a moron and I'm better than them'. Sheesh.

No, not at all. There are plenty of things that I don't like - but still recognise as being 'good'. When I talk of the 'moron demo', I am actualy quoting a friend of mine from Uni who now works as a producer.
