Red Dwarf (1988-1999), a BBC British Comedy, is considered a cult classic.
When I was young, like 12 or so, I remember seeing it late at night on PBS. Some few years ago I managed to download the series and actually watch the whole thing through. Smegtastic!

I convinced my husband to watch the first episode and if he didn't like it he didn't have to watch it. We just finished season 7 last night, and he cracks up laughin quite a bit.

"That's the metaphorical equivalent of putting your wedding tackle into a lions mouth and then snapping his love spuds with a wet towel" One of our favorite quotes!

Yeah was a good show in its day. Some of its a bit dated now but still funny never the less.

Netflix has the whole series on DVD. I'm watching seasons 5 and 6 for the second time, I lost interest the first time around when "Rimmer" left the show.

I didn't neccesarily like Rimmer, really. My husband likes him. When we got to the point where Rimmer left, I had to finally agree with my husband. I didn't like him for the fact that his character is meant to be somewhat unlikeable, and the show really isn't the same without him. I have always enjoyed the Rimmer Experience though. And I loved the one with the hologramatic virus that Rimmer got.
