Red Dwarf is awesome. I've only seen the first three seasons on DVD but I love it. I think that if I were to post all of my favourite Red Dwarf quotes I'd be sitting here typing at my computer all night.

I am a massive Dwarf fan. 1 of the best comedies UK has produced. Rob Grant and Doug Naylor are geniuses. I am still waiting for the Red Dwarf movie. There has been rumours of it in the pipeline since season 5. Keeping the original cast and being made in New Zealand.
I've watched the american pilot of Red Dwarf and it is truely dreadful. Don't get me wrong I am not insulting the americans because 2 of my favourite sitcoms are Seinfeld and Curb your Enthusiasm I think Larry David is brilliant. However Red Dwarf is built on characters. So you cannot take it and remove all the characters, except for 1 (Kryten) and expect it to work. Us brits could not take the template for Seinfeld, leave Kramer in and remove all the other characters and expect it to work. To be honest It's not an American thing it's just a greedy TV executive thing. They see a show pulls in the viewers in a country and just want to replicate that. A big audience equals big income.

As an American, I say go ahead and insult the Americans. Let us not forget that this is the land with < 1 season of Firefly and multiple seasons of Fear Factor. For that and many reasons, if the rest of the world isn't insulting us at present, I start to worry.
I'm very glad this is the first I've heard of an American go at Red Dwarf. I got to sail right past that one without weeping.
