Star Trek was my favorite series in the '70s. As a 10-year-old, I lived and breathed it.
I watched The Young Ones on MTV in the '80s. I don't find the show as funny as I did then, but the musical appearances were great-- The Damned, Motorhead, Madness... fun stuff.
Red Dwarf is one of the funniest shows ever. I can't wait for the 3rd and 4th series to be released on DVD soon.

haha, Red Dwarf was great. Series 2 sucked a bit though.
I LOVE young ones. I love rik mayal and ad edmundson in general. hehe, yeah, the bands they got on were so cool. You know when a flash appears acroos the screen in a YO episode? Well pause that flash, and you will see a random image - like a tap dripping. hahaha. or something like that. very funny if watching while drunk/stoned. heh

I'm confused - by the topic wording and symbology, it looks like you are asking about a specific Red Dwarf episode that mixed "The Young Ones" up with "Star Trek", and i have to admit, I haven't caught that particular oddity. Forgive me if I am being a dullard - I'm working on my second cup of coffee.

I just meant I thought Red Dwarf as a show was a good mix of The Young Ones mixed with Star Trek. It had the sci fi thing down but was hilarious.
I have only seen tapes taped off PBS from my uncle, but I'd love the DVDs. I don't know which series is which. He just had random ones on tape.
I liked the one where they were trying to get Crichton to say Smeghead and he couldn't quite get it.
The characters are great.
The young ones was a staple off MTV for me in High School. And yes, I discovered the subliminal pictures back then with the pause and frame advance on the VCR. I saw the faucet, there was skiing, a frog jumping off a leaf etc.
Madness, Motorhead and The Damned and Dexy's midnight Runners and Rip Rig and Panic...it was awesome. I loved how there wasn't a stage and they'd just play wherever they were in the situation.
Special Patrol Group....he he.... |

Oh, yeah, I get it  . All I can share with the class is that I love "The Young Ones". We bought the DVD "Every Stoopid Episode" and watched them all in about 2 1/2 days. It may even be funnier now than when I watched it on MTV.

Red Dwarf is great, maybe more 'Lost in Space' than 'Star Trek'...

| Red Dwarf is shit...it had real potential when it first started, but it just turned into...shit. Holly is a total Blackadder rip off. There's supposedly a movie in the works, but I don't think the original cast are involved. |

I don't like the fancy retouching they've done with the old episodes. I liked them better when they looked cheap.
The movie has been in the works for a looooooooong time and I believe it included the real cast. Part of the derailing was the rape trial that Dave Lister was going through (not guilty).
You know they piloted a US version of Red Dwarf that included the guy who plays Kryton, but it never turned into anything.

I would disagree with you as well, Carl. I can see how the wide range of insults, and the 'extended simile' is borrowed from Blackadder, but I don't see Holly in that.
