      American Red Dwarf Quote of the Day

      "Whats it feel like?"
      "Death?"
      "Yeah"
      "Its like being at an Amish bachelor party"


      Ahhhhhh I dont think it would work.
      Lo there do I see my Father.
      Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
      Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
      Lo they do call me.
      They bid me take my place among them.
      In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

        The trouble is ....rimmer...not goity enough.....and Lister is just...ordinary the whole point was Lister is THE slob of the universe.....the whole premise was Lister the ultimate athiest becomes God and recreates the human race and universe...irony doesn't seem to be something american writers could do back then.

          I didn't get to watch all of them. Is the one where they made the Cat a female? I read about that a while back and that's the one thing I really disagreed with.

              I believe the term "EGADS!" sums these two attempts up quite nicely.

                I though Homeboys In Outer Space was the American Version of Red Dwarf, with signifigant changes, and Rimmer/Kryten was combined into 1 character?

                  Rimmer/Kryten as 1 character,,,that would have been hilarious....calling himself names and arguing with himself...lol

                    Yeah I just dont think it would translate well. I mean Americans wouldn't relate to curries, Gits, nobs, Smeg heads and alot of the in jokes that made Dwarf funny.

                    Casting choices....? Well could you imagine A black female Capt Hollister doing the T Rex,vindaloo, chocomint icecream, traumatic tidal wave of diahrrea bit? No

                    Cat a woman? It changes the whole shows dynamic. Two straight guys... err a guy and a being?, a hologram stuck a million years from nowhere with no female companionship. That plot point set a bit of atmospere and steered a bit of the plot. Make Cat a sexy feline/humanoid. Basically a hot woman with pointy teeth and maybe multiple breast? Hell just forget the rest of the nonliving crew and lock your selves in a cabin somewhere. I'd be happy.

                    And as said before . Lister needs to be a super slob, Rimmer needs to be more of a goit. Kryton starting as a member of the crew? NO the episode of how he was found was priceless.
                    Lo there do I see my Father.
                    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
                    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
                    Lo they do call me.
                    They bid me take my place among them.

                      It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Now, I'm not saying it was good mind you. Just not as bad as I thought it would be. I did rather like Holly.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
