O loved what they did with Hogfather, but somehow, I was not pleased with Colour of Magic, even though I loved the book. Can't quite put my finger on why though.

I do agree that I enjoyed Hogfather much more, but then again I prefer the later books to the first few.
But I still say that it is an excellent adoption of the first two books, though they did have to streamline it and ended up removing a lot of the side plots.
It may be that some of the elements you enjoyed best got left out or trimmed.
Also, I have to admit that while David Jason was excellent, his portrayal of Rincewind was based completely on the first two books only and Josh Kirby's portrayal of Rincewind. My personal mental Image of Rincewind is more similar to Paul Kidby's.
Still, It was a good show, and definite recommendation for a fan of Pratchetts work. Perhaps not a buy for some, but at lest definitely worth a watch.
