CrabHelmet Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 This is honestly my favourite comedy series made in the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeg Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Lol. That's the whole point. They wern't meant to make the best graphics ever. They didn't care, and I feel that added to the humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adama. Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have seen very little of this show, but I liked what I saw. I just remember liking this one character who was an alter ego of a main character, who I believe was named "Rimmer". He said something like "fry me a kipper, I'll be back for Christmas" and was really heroic. I found him funny. I also found Chriton quite funny. Still, I have a very poor memory of this show, and I'm kind of grasping for things to say about it. I should watch it again.{Adama} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 You should, it's worth the watch, Rimmer is a serious guy, I personally like Lister the most.Cats also a good character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 The whole point of Red Dwarf was not the props, effects or acting. It was the characters and how they interacted.For example, Lister's undying hatred of Rimmer; Kryten's similar hatred of Rimmer (which he could never say because of his programming); the Cat's lack of empathy for all the others; and Rimmer's utter smeg-headedness. That is what the comedy was based on.Also, the characters were well fleshed out, with proper backstories. Lister's upbringing in Liverpool; Rimmer's rather torturous childhood; the Cat's lost people, who used Lister's laundry list as the basis of their Bible; Kryten's long time alone in space causing him to break his programming; and Ace Rimmer's similar, but much more successful career.There's a reason Red Dwarf is one of the BBC's most successful comedies...it was simple and funny. It's a lot better than most series on television today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 So need to get this on DVD. I haven't watched it in years, but I <3 it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaterasu Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Red Dwarf was one of the best comedies. The Cat , Kryton, and the Polymorph are my favorite charactors. I am in the US but I still manage to get a hold of the best bBC shows. Anyone seen the new 3 part episode "Back to Earth"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Darkness Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyone seen the new 3 part episode "Back to Earth"? Yes, and it was terrible. It was not funny, unimaginative and basicially a sell-out of the show. I do hope it's forgotten so we can remember the original series. It was an ending Red Dwarf did not deserve.
