I just watched Red Dwarf, series 2. When will series 3 be released on DVD? What's the status of Red Dwarf - The Movie?
Doesn't this thread icon look like Kryton? |

I went here and found this:
Q: When are the other Red Dwarf DVDs coming out?
A: Two DVDs will be coming out every year. Following the release of Series I in November 2002 and Series II in February 2003, all other series will come out in the same Nov-Feb pattern. These UK/Region 2 dates will be approximately the same for Australia/Region 4, but keep an eye on the Red Hot News. America/Region 1 plan to release pairs of series together, always in February.
Q: When will the Red Dwarf Movie be released?
A: It is anticipated that the movie will enter full production in September 2003, with a release date of Fall/Winter 2004. The latest information on the film can be found on the Movie Deck.

| I haven't watched Season 1. Well, I might have watched it in the 80s. Season 2 was good, low budget British sci-fi humor fun. Word has it that Season 1 sucks, but I'm going to rent it and find out for myself. |

Seasons one and two are the finest of the series, IMHO. They have the best balance between science fiction and comedy. However, seasons three and up have Robert Llewellyn as Kryton in their favor so it all evens out. |

Normally, I like to say things like "respectfully I disagree" and being diplomatic and gentle but for some reason "Red Dwarf" makes me want to scream and be rude. But I will restrain myself - you are good people and I don't want to be offensive.
But I just don't understand the attraction. Not in a world with great little scifi shows like "Blake 7" or "Starhunter" and great, great stuff by the terabyte. But then I am the type that can only stand "Mystery Science Ficton Theater 2000" or "Southpark" only for about five minutes and I never was much of a "Dr. Who"

From Douglas Adams' and John Lloyd's "The Meaning of Liff" (online here):
Clackavoid(n.)- Technical BBC term for a page of dialogue from Blake's Seven.

Oh, Red Dwarf is funny? Really??????
Well, you know, we have our opinion. No, "Blake 7" was never intended to be a comedy and neither is "Starhunter". But they are entertaining and interesting.
Now, "The Hitchhiker's Galaxy to the Galaxy", THAT'S funny. Or "Galaxy Quest".
But no. Not "Red Dwarf". |

Red Dwarf is the most consistently and thoroughly funny show on PBS since they stopped showing Mr. Bean! |

| I can't defend Red Dwarf's humor. A lot of it is pretty goofy. The deadpan delivery of Holly, the ship's computer amuses me. |

Oh, I don't know....it didn't say "For the Love of Red Dwarf only". I have an opinion and a strong one and I thought I would express it. I'm done now. I did indulge in a bit of playful teasing about my opinion and truthfully, I like you guys and I am sorry if I offended anyone. Don't mind me. I would have not posted this, if I was not addressed directly.
Enjoy "Red Dwarf" all you want. What do I know? The original ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion is still my favorite and NO ONE else seems to agree with me there. Life goes on.

It did start to get lame around season 6-7, but really picked up again in season 8.
