Trivia:

This US version of "Red Dwarf" (1988) failed to get past pilot stage, and has never been screened anywhere. It was essentially a remake of the first UK episode, "The End", with bits from other stories added in as well.

Quotes:

Kryten: He evolved from cats, sir, just as your distant ancestors once swung from trees.
Arnold Rimmer: Ancestors? His grandparents swung from trees.

The worst adaptation EVER

This is without a doubt the worst adaptation ever. Im sorry but british comedy is only funny when its *British*. The American humour aint at all funny and the characters are weak to say the least. The only good point about this show is Kryten......only because its the original. An absolutely terrible tv show, if you like Red Dwarf then watch the original.
