TEAM,
Are you a fan of Red Dwarf? It is a sci fi/comedy show from the UK and it is hilariously brilliant. I have been a fan for over a year and have the entire series on dvd, but the first episode aired over the pond in 1988. Red Dwarf is a mining vessel that is 3 million years away from earth and on it's way home. The ship's crew has all been killed by a radioactive Cadmium II leak, except for... Holly - the holographic computer that runs the ship. He is bald and quite hilarious since after 3 million years, his circuits are a bit crossed. A victim of computer senility. Dave Lister - The slobbiest entity in the universe, kept alive in stasis for refusing to give the Captain his pregnant cat, Frankenstein. Arnold J. Rimmer - A hologram of Lister's dead roommate, activated to keep Dave sane during the trip home. A complete smeg-head! The Cat - A humanoid who has evolved from the offspring of Lister's cat, Frankenstein, who went to hide on the cargo decks. Shallow, yet stylish! Kryten - a robotic service mechanoid, who Lister saved from a shipwreck and taught to break his programming! Together, this fine crew goes on rousing, fun adventures. Through space and time. Great fun! Check it out!! JLT |

It's interesting & I've been known to watch, but somehow I find your write-up more intriguing than the actual execution.

It is EXTREMELY well written (except for the last season or so where Grant and Naylor had a creative dispute and broke their partnership). Excellent quotes, fun episodes and even some interesting sci-fi ideas thrown in.
One of my more enjoyable quote moments: "Step it up to Red Alert!" "Are you absolutely sure, Sir? It DOES require changing the light bulb." |

I used to watch Red Dwarf all of the time. It's definitely one of the funniest and most quotable British comedies. I haven't seen it years though. I'm gonna have to find some episodes somewhere.
