Ok it is old school sci-fi comedy what is worse it is pommy comedy. a cat thats a human, a robot with feelings and out of the whole crew the only one left alive was the maintenece idiot. Still the holographic companion works in perfectly as he is a total stuck up prat the oposite to the slob but the comedy between them is funny! if you can look past the old school asthetics of the show it is wellk and truely entertaining.

RED DWARF IS THE BEST SHOW EVER.

the person who said they get boring to watch is wrong!!! wrong wrong wrong. my whole family can quote just about every episode - not to mention tell you exactly what happens in each episode. we love them and i have seen all 8 series numerous times and they are always as funny!!

Red Dwarf is one of the most funny series ever - even if it is starting to show its age more than a little. With some great British humour, and an awesome cast, this is a series that you should not miss. Red Dwarf is awesome, despite the fact that a holographic character called 'Rimmer' is shown to be a hologram by the fact that he has a cardboard H stuck to his forehead (that's how cheap the special effects are). Awesome.

this is a funny program that weird hologram guy, not my sort of series but it is funny if you want a laugh but it gets boring the longer you watch it if you watch theses like one a week then you would be good but if you watch it continuos gosh you would go crazy i do not something to watch.

Red Dwarf is probably one of the most entertaining TV shows ever made. It's a hybrid of sci-fi and comedy that, when it works, works perfectly. The four core characters - Lister, the last human in the universe, Rimmer, a hologram of his worst enemy, Kryten, a cross between C3P0 and Data, and The Cat, a super-evolved humanoid feline - are very strongly written and played by a great cast. The show is not perfect, as the small budget often shows and The Cat, and Rimmer in some cases, are often given lines that they simply wouldn't come out with just so they have something to say. Apart from this, though, the show is of a very high quality and very unique.

Series I and II were very cheap - everything was cotton or plastic - and focussed on the sitcom aspects and character development. It was with Season III, and the introduction of Kryten as a regular, that Red Dwarf began to achieve it's potential. Suddenly there was more sci-fi and adventure in the episodes, with spaceships, bazookoids (mini-bazookas), shape-shifting, emotion-stealing aliens, and a cool guitar version of the theme tune.

Series IV was even better, and Series V even better than that. The show became just as much sci-fi as it was comedy, very cool indeed and tackled some imaginative premises with more skill than Star Trek: TNG in many cases. Finally, Season VI was absolutely superb, with the best production values the show had ever seen, and the funniest, most exciting storylines. Plus the fact that Red Dwarf itself, the spaceship, wasn't even in Season VI, which made it exceptionally cool. Every single episode was excellent, with the highlight proberbaly being 'Gunmen of the Apocalypse' wherein the crew entered a virtual reality version of the wild west. Series VI ended with five minutes of pure drama and a stunning cliffhanger- you'd be hard pressed to find a more exciting climax on TV. With Series VII, except for the great first episode 'Tikka to Ride', the show faltered. Rimmer left along with one of the two script-writers, which half-crippled the show. Whereas there used to be constant laughs throughout previously, with Season VII there were a few laughs an episode. Rimmer returned with Series VIII, but then Red Dwarf became a total farce with no real sci-fi and everything played for cheap laughs. It became a plotless string of lame sketches and was simply not funny. The characters became caracatures. The show became a complete mockery of the blend of sci-fi/comedy it had achieved previously. Let's hope the forthcoming feature film, with both writers at the helm, can bring back some of the old magic the show had.

Brilliant. The shows are great, you will keep watching over and over again. The best thing about this product is the price though, have you seen how much each individual series cost ? Yeh I know. These sets do not contain any special features, but does that really matter, sure they are nice but the most important thing is the show itself and if this is the only thing you can afford like myself then go for it.

It's not easy being the last human being in the universe, but for Dave Lister, Chicken Soup Machine Repair Man, it's quite normal. How true, one thing is not to have food or drink near you at all because it will only get splattered across the room from you laughing, top class

Fantastic!!! What a bargain on this whole series of Red Dwarf!!! There are so many episodes here, I think it is a really excellent buy. I used to stay up really late as a kid to watch this on TV.. I thought it was the best thing ever. This low budget futuristic series is ace. A real blast from the past!!

A good buy for the price but as mention by some other reviews the true fans will opt for the more expensive but extra filled single season releases. Unfortunately the picture quality no matter what version you choose is poor but thankfully you don't watch this show for the fancy special effects but for the writing which is consistently good.

Warning - this show is tacky, low budget and the humour is a little low occasionally. However...it is brilliant, side splitting and quite unfortunately over. If you have never seen the show then this is a good place to start, but frankly I loved all the extras that came with the single DVDs.
