"Your nickname was never 'Ace'. Maybe 'Ace-hole.' "
I'm a big fan of this show, but only because it's so utterly ridiculous. They dropped the ball a little during the 6th season, but it's still good up to the end. My favorite episode is probably the one with the white hole that spews out time and matter.It's a Fargate! It's different.

The funny thing about the show is that it can't keep its own history straight. The episode where Rimmer takes on Kris's body, Lister informs him they never made love, but later when she joins the cast, they had quite a history and she dumped him for a chef named Tim (possibly mentioned before that, I don't recall)--and oh yeah, she's played by an entirely different actress with a different accent and for the most part, a different personality. Its little instances like that that would probably kill the enjoyment of any other show but the comedy is so great and the characters so likeable (the Cat is great btw) that it doesn't matter. Oh sure, Lister's had his appendix out twice but so what?
Another aspect I always liked is the complete and lack of alien lifeforms. For all the weirdness they've encountered, its all originates from humanity.
Anyone here read the books?

Loved Red Dwarf for the short time I got to see it. I can't seem to move to a city where the local PBS station runs anything good from across the pond, like Red Dwarf or Doctor Who.
The only line I remember right now is "Better dead than smeg." And the Arnold Rimmer song, which is too catchy to be healthy.GateWorld Podcast - Info - iTunes - Google

Not only could this show not keep track of its own history, but it often defied all logic. They had a time-hop that they used to go back in time and accidentally end the John F. Kennedy assassination, but it never occured to them that they could use it to go back to before they lost the Red Dwarf, before the Cat race died out, or before the stasis leak from the first episode went and killed the whole crew.It's a Fargate! It's different.
