British Comedy at its Best August 31, 2008
J. Stoops (Washington, DC)
If you love British comedy classics like Monty Python, Blackadder, The Brittas Empire, etc. you're in for a treat.
The first series was done on a small budget but the clever humor makes up for it 10 fold. By the second series the characters really come into their own, from the heroic lazy slob Lister played by Craig Charles to the neurotic, socially inept Rimmer played by Chris Barry they make a delightful contrast.
Constantly inventive, funny, and soul searching they explore human morality in a tongue in cheek, ironic satire that appeals to all audiences that understand sarcasm and clever toilet humor.
Americans beware! If you like you bland, watered down "nice" comedies then this is not for you. Definitely one for the lads and all you stoner's out there.
Hysterical August 7, 2008
Twainy (Chicagoland Area)
OK ... I bought these seasons as they came out so this set is well worth the price. Every guy I have shared this show with loves it! The humor is purile ... so beware if that isn't ur cup of tea. It is well written and the cast has great comedic timing! The way it is filmed may take some getting used to ... it is not like sitcoms filmed in the US ... but the laughs will hook you! We have watched and rewatched all of these episodes numerous times and laughed just as hard on subsequesnt viewings LOL This is NOT Doctor Who ... it is more a comedy based in the future on a space ship. I highly recommend this ... but if you are not sure ... buy one season ... I think you will come back for more ...
I'm a Red Dwarf fan! June 19, 2008
S. Franke (KY)
Red Dwarf is a very funny, sci-fi, british comedy. If you like british comedy or "witty" humor then this is the collection to get, even if your not big into sci-fi. Earlier episodes can be compared to the "Odd Couple", in a spaceship though, because the episodes center around Dave and Lister, who are complete opposites, who are also lost in space. If your not a fan of british comedy, than I suggest you rent Red Dwarf first (Netflix has the entire series). I like it a lot better than other british comedies I have seen before.
Although I enjoyed the entire series, literally every episode, I do like the earlier seasons (or volumes, or whatever they're called) better. The first season is my favorite. The earlier seasons are really low budget, but that really adds to it all. It makes it funnier! I highly suggest to anyone, and everyone to at least rent the first season of Red Dwarf. Your really missing out on a classic show if you don't!
Fantastic!!!!!!! May 29, 2008
katty (SYDNEY)
this is a fantastic product that entertained me and my sister for hours. I am able to rewatch episodes and still find them funny. I love the extra features and especially like the 'Smeg Ups'. :)
Awesome show! May 2, 2008
A. Desch (Denver, CO United States)
I have loved "Red Dwarf" for years, but I was only able to watch it when I took my son back east for vacation every summer because it isn't on the airwaves in Denver (unless it's on the BBC channel that I don't get with my cable choices) and it is no longer being shown in Maryland now. So, in order to get my Red Dwarf "fix", I purchased this set. It was offered at a reasonably price, arrived in perfect condition, and will provide us with hours of enjoyment. The humor is SO British, and the storylines are absolutely hilarious. I would recommend this series to anyone who appreciates British humor and/or science fiction. It's great!
