I loved Red Dwarf. I don't think they run it over here (US) anymore, though. At least not in my area.

Hiya, massive Red Dwarf fan here. Been a Dwarfer since i was about 12 when they showed the first 6 series on BBC 2 back in 1993, then had to wait 4 years to get series 7! (see there could still be hope for our verse,though i guess it never was cancelled).

Its been 8 years since the last series as the makers were holding out for a film. It got as far as an official announcement a couple of years ago. I dont know whats happened since, i guess it's got stuck in development hell. All the cast have appeared reguarly on british tv (Craig Charles on Corination Street...why!). Though Danny John Jules was in Blade 2 and Chris Barrie in the Tomb Raider flicks. Just like our beloved Firefly im also holdin for this one.

Favourite episode- DNA (series 4) where Lister fights a 7 foot tall, armour plated killer curry monster by becoming a one foot tall Robocop...genius.

Honestly, I haven't even looked. I'm still looking for the Robin of Sherwood complete boxed set DVD in region 1 or 0!!
I'm behind on funds and boxed sets.

:-)

I will look, though!

The Dwarf boxsets are stil pricey over here. So I can imagine the same in the good ole US of A. What tends to happen is they don't produce that many because they think people wont buy them. They then sell like the proverble hot cakes. SO over time the price never drops. I am 1 of those people who waits for a DVD price to drop (the Band of Brothers boxset first was put on sale for £40, about $70, I waited and waited , ok I waited about 2 years LOL and eventually got it in a sale for £20) but Red Dwarf price never drops. If you have trouble , I shouldn't say this, I'll rip you some copies and send em to you.

I tend to go to play.com. There I can get a whole season of curb your enthusiasm and Outer Limits for less than the price of a single DVD and Sienfeld which sells for double the price in the shops. However the likes of Red Dwarf and Dr WHo are still pricey :(

Awww, I think every season is about $35. It is truly ridiculous the prices they put on them. I found mine in a Tower Records, so if there's one near you maybe you'll have luck (when you get the funds) I know they're also available on Netflix, so if you wanted to sign up there you could order them and then burn them. I don't think Blockbuster would really go out of its way to get Red Dwarf on its shelf (although I really wish it would, it would be nice of them to share such an awesome show with everyone...but they dont...losers)

I looove Red Dwarf - I watched my first episode ("Psirens") when I was about 10 and I've loved it ever since.

The DVD extras are fantastic, I have the whole 8 series on individual DVDs and I'm very glad I didn't get the "just the shows" dvd. My favourite part is the commentary - [s]ruttin'[/s] smegging hilarious. They mention the movie a few times during the commentaries as a kind of running joke. I don't think the actors believe it's ever going to happen, as it's been on hiatus for such a long time.

Has anyone read the books? I think they're brilliant, and a great addition to the RD verse. My favourite would have to be "Last Human" as it gives Rimmer a chance of redemption *sniffles*
