I too have seen the Red Dwarf. We have a video store near where I live that has an eclectic rental selection on VHS. I've gon through al the seasons except for seven and eight. They also have Black Adder but it's not SF so it doesn't belong here (still recommend it though.)
Now that you mention it, Red Dwarf also had their own slang. They didn't use Chinese but words like "smeghead" are hardly common vinicular. Good catch and keep it Flyin.
I dyed my Browncoat black for those whom have gone befor.

Ahhh Red Dwarf...good times, good times. I just got into it last year, in fact, and have the first 4 seasons on dvd. It does have a few similarities, but it's hard to compare anything to Red Dwarf too closely because it's pretty unique. I wish it was still on too, and I heard that Craig Charles (Lister) had a bunch of problems after the show. At least our BDHs are doing well. Still - one of the funniest shows on tv.

"Smeghead" certainly came into common parlance in my circle, still does when the bloody cat trips me up and my daughter is in the same room.
Red Dwarf was a great acheivement for the BBC, a Sci-Fi comedy that was FUNNY! It took a while to find it's feet but produced more than it's share of comic gems, Gunmen of the Apocalypse, Sgt Elvis, Duane Dibley and the previously mentioned Ace Rimmer.
And it brought back the lovely Claire Grogan - "I could be happy" indeed.
Unfortunately, as with most long-running series, the last 2 didn't quite reach the same spots as earlier seasons. The VHS of outtakes are great!

More excellent? not sure I'd say they're strictly comparable, i certainly don't watch them for the same reasons. Why not just say they're both excellent instead of reasserting the host show's superiority?

Well, sort of. Rob Grant and Doug Naylor want a film, though backers aren't forth coming. Last I heard was that the BBC may pickup another season, but the hope is for a film.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Actually, I have found some Red Dwarf episodes (chopped in to 3 segments) on YouTube. Just do a search and check it out for yourself.
And yeah..Black Adder rules! If there are any HOUSE fans out there, you really need to see Hugh Lowrey's earlier work as an incompetent inbreed member of the Bristish gentry.

Red Dwarf Is awesome and one of my all time Fave Sci Fi shows. I own all 8 seasons on DVD and go back and watch them often. I would not put them in the same category as Firefly thouhg. Both are very good and very different so I can't compare. But anyone who has not seen it should def. check it out!
