The show was better when Tracy wasn't in it

Just caught a couple of the episodes over on the CBBC channel when Tracy isn't in them. And they're a lot better and more interesting to watch. The attention isn't constantly being stolen by Tracy and her outlandish antics, we get to see more of the other characters, and there's some genuinely interesting looks into their backgrounds and families.

I know Tracy is the main character, hell the series is named after her, but I preferred the episodes that didn't focus on her, and the ones without her are even better.

Anyone else think the same?
