General Comments
Sitcoms don't go on to make seven series if they're not that good. Red Dwarf has such a large cult following and i've never met anyone who could sit through an episode without laughing.
The jokes range from the intelligent, as the crew contemplate the likes of parallel universities, to simple toilet humour. For me i think the strength of red dwarf lies in the characters, Lister the last surving human is just a level above a tramp, Rimmer is equally ambitious, arrogant and incompitant, the Cat who is just simply cool and Kryton a mechanoid who gets increasingly more human as the series go on.
If you're reading this chances are you were a fan to, the shows are well worth buying as they're even better to watch now, a true timeless classic of british comedy.
