Red Dwarf To Return, Find Earth 298
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.

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.

That's death throes. http://xkcd.com/386/ [xkcd.com]
BTW I actually totally agree with you - I only watch seasons 7 and 8 out of loyalty. 1-6 still really rule hard.

You like parodies of things you aren't familiar with and don't like parodies of things you are. I think you don't understand parody.

A racist stereotype of...a cat? In all the years Red Dwarf has been around, I have heard *not one* complaint from the cat community, yet you claim to have some greater insight?

Damn right you are on that one... its perfect to watch on returning from the pub, a little merry but not so that you're tired. The state that if you hit the computer you're just going to say something that you later regret on Facebook, Slashdot or wherever you end up. Red Dwarf, or Southpark I find perfect for these situations.
