Urge Netflix to keep “Still Game” for North American viewers

The Issue

As a dedicated fan of the Scottish sitcom "Still Game," I’m deeply saddened by Netflix's decision to remove this iconic show from their North American programming. This decision is not just a loss for me, but for millions of "Still Game" fans across North America who cherish the humor, heart, and the unique Scottish culture it represents.

"Still Game," with its endearing characters like Jack and Victor, and its hilarious take on the everyday lives of pensioners in Glasgow, has struck a chord with audiences far beyond its Scottish roots. Its universal themes of friendship, aging, and community resonate with viewers from all walks of life, and its witty, heartfelt script has turned it into a beloved classic.

Moreover, "Still Game" provides a valuable cultural representation that broadens the horizons of North American viewers, offering a glimpse into Scottish life. Removing this show from Netflix decreases the diversity of content available and diminishes cultural exchange — something streaming platforms should aspire to enrich, not reduce.

A surge of reaction on social media platforms from fans expressing their disappointment shows that "Still Game" holds a significant place in many hearts. By deleting it from their platform, Netflix risks alienating a loyal fanbase that has grown steadily over the years.

We understand the business aspects of licensing content, but the cultural and emotional connection that "Still Game" has established with its audience should outweigh corporate considerations. There’s an opportunity here for Netflix to demonstrate that they truly value the input and satisfaction of their North American subscribers.

Please join us in asking Netflix to reconsider their decision. By signing this petition, you affirm your support for "Still Game," and help preserve the right of millions of North American fans to enjoy this cherished series. Let’s keep "Still Game" alive and streaming on Netflix in North America!
