Red Dwarf is 33 years old today
did anyone else watch the first episode? is it still a good show, or is it one of those things that is now considered to be shit and for kids?

Why?
Also: the prawns should be β€œdefrosted if frozen”, they can’t be both can they, which is it?

It has its moments but I can't sit through a lot of it without finding it tiresome

The books are good though

that's the kind of friend you can do without
i lent my signed copy of mort to an ex-boyfriend, who topped himself without giving it back. most inconsiderate.

I like the books
seem to recall that backwards is better than the other sequel attempt

I love Red Dwarf
despite the dated-at-the-time late 70s/early 80s English pop references in the early days, and despite the alleged comedy of the more recent stuff.

The situation itself is brilliant, and it's almost impossible to turn that dynamic into something completely unfunny (without taking it back to Earth for a Coronation Street crossover or something).

back to earth was truly dreadful
but it got us more dwarf, so it served its purpose
