Red Dwarf is simply the best space comedy ever produced. I have been a big fan for a while, but just recently picked up the first two seasons’ DVDs from Amazon. I was a little afraid the quality of the DVDs might suck, since this show isn’t exactly very well known, but I was wrong. So far I have been pretty happy with the quality of the disks.
If you haven’t ever seen an episode of Red Dwarf, here is pretty much the outline of the show (via the IMDB):
Three million years ago, a radiation leak killed the crew of the mining ship, Red Dwarf. The only survivor was Dave Lister, the chicken soup machine repairman. He spends his time on the ship with a holographic projection of Arnold Rimmer (his dead bunkmate), Cat (a life-form that evolved from Dave’s cat), Holly (the ship’s senile computer), and Kryten (a service mechanoid).
I never was much of a Star Wars or Star Trek fan, but in my opinion Red Dwarf beats them both hands down. Now I just have to order the six other DVDs.
