Red Dwarf To Return, Find Earth
Lawrence Person writes "Everyone's favorite live-action science fiction comedy series will finally return to TV, with Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and the Cat all making it to Earth. The new two-part series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will appear on digital channel Dave, will be written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, and will reunite the line-up. 'It will sit alongside two further new episodes — the improvised Red Dwarf: Unplugged, which will feature the cast dealing with no sets, effects or autocue, and Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind the scenes look at the new production.' Personally, I think this is pretty smegging fantastic."

Try asking the average American to tell you what a "bog roll" is and watch the steam come out of their ears thinking about it.
They also often represent "jump the shark" moments for a series.
Did you ever watch the show? They jumped the shark at least once an episode. That's part of what made it so great.
Please help metamoderate.
Look, I don't want any toast. In fact, no one around here wants any toast. Not now, not ever. NO TOAST.
Although in the case of HGTTG, I think the radio show out-shines the movie
The what? ;)
That said, I have to agree with GPP - It aged badly. When I go back to watch the episodes over, it's rare that I watch anything beyond the ship being reconstructed. It was still fun, but lacked a lot of the charm that the early episodes had.
Not a matter of aging imho. Something weird happened after season 6. I still deeply love seasons 1-6.
Mr. Flibble doesn't like it when you stop watching...
I'm a huge fan of red dwarf, so I somehow feel like I suddenly have the authority to post spelling/grammar corrections in this story.
death throws.
That's death throes. http://xkcd.com/386/
BTW I actually totally agree with you - I only watch seasons 7 and 8 out of loyalty. 1-6 still really rule hard.
Clearly you have forgotten the brilliance that was BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 1980.
And I would be a lot better off if you tell me how you managed it.

We call them "Americans". It's not their fault.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
Aah, so you're a waffle man!

What did they axe them?
You are wrong.
Now I am angry, very angry.
