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."

    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.

    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.
