The older series was a bit more Brittish and a bit less contrived.

For some reason, the US likes to re-make hit British shows rather than importing them. They are usually flops because they need that certain Britishness about them in order to work (Coupling anyone?).

On the other hand, I upgraded to digital cable a while back in order to get BBC America so that I could stay in touch with home and umm, it is usually full of home improvement or antique shows! Ugh. Of course, thanks to the internet I can still keep up on some of the good stuff. heh.

Cheers.

hehe, that is exactly what struck me as well except, of course, it is rather more risque. Still, a very funny show which is why I bought the DVDs. smile.gif

Cheers.

It's a good thing Red Dwarf always remained to it's own little cult, would hate to see what the Scifi channel would do to that series. Half the fun of the show lies in the budget effects... Which is why it kinda started to suck after season 3.
