boards packed with newbie smeg heads it seems
Everything past season 6 is just a hazy blur to me.
Definitely. Some garbage seasons and awful episodses after that.
angular head fella spooked me as a child.
never watched that far tbh
I'm based
This guy is based.
doesn't really matter. it has a laugh track, therefore its unwatchable
zoom zoom go back to watching community or some other negrified Hollywood garbage
>negrified
50% of RD cast are Black folk
Yeah hot c**t homies who aren’t forced into the role and aren’t constantly part of dialogue that is homosexual writers trying to apologise for slavery
i like how in the commentary for the ouroboros episode, danny john-jules talks about how he told the bosses that the baby they had for young lister was 2 shades too black
Nope, live studio audience
The live audience creates the laugh track
How am I still explaining this in 2022?
back to tick tock zoomie to watch your stranger things high lights or whatever it is you Black folk do
A laugh track is an audio track containing laughter that's added onto comedy shows that didn't have an audience but want to pretend they did. A real audience isn't a laugh track.
>A real audience isn't a laugh track.
You're talking about "canned laughter," which is stock audio added to a programme.
A live audience is recorded, and that audio is the "laugh track."
Don't make me walk you through this obvious thing.
They literally tell the audience when and how hard to laugh. They do multiple takes, people aren’t going to laugh naturally at the same joke every time. How are you morons this dense?
when people criticized big bang theory's incredibly obnoxious laugh track, CBS media-blitzed on the difference between their laugh track and other laugh tracks. now people actually think "live studio audience" reactions aren't scripted.
Holy based. Jokes aren't funny when you have to explain them.
season 7 doesn't
It did when it was first shown on TV. Later VHS/DVD releases stripped it out, making it sound really weird with obvious gaps for the laughs
t. Oldgay smeghead
Thank you for your wisdom and knowledge old smeghead, wonder why they removed the track
Not sure, but if I had to hazard a guess it's because S7 seemed to be more of a comedy-drama at times. Maybe they thought the laugh track sounded too goofy with some of the dramatic moments?
It was shite either way
Series 7 and Back to Earth weren't filmed with an audience because they both had so much location stuff.
Rimmer is the best part of the show
Lister is very fat and old now.
Let's see how good you look when you're 58 Black person
But has an absolutley based radio segment called The Funk and Soul show. Saw him DJing live a few years ago and looked pinged off his chops.
complete cap provide the video
No video but this was that evening. Had to cancel his radio segment "And he admitted he had a “really bad cold”." Yeah, more like a Comedown.

based lister enjoying life after his career
das it mane
Craig is a well known druggie, he was caught on camera smoking crack in the back of a taxi like 15 years ago
the man just keeps getting more based
You can't have a show about Lister bullying Rimmer if you don't have a Rimmer.
As a kid I liked all the stuff with nu-kochanski but rewatching it as an adult you can see how little of a shit they all give and its depressing after knowing Barrie left basically cause they writers were twats to him. Still some great episodes though
they fricked up incredibly hard writing in rimmer leaving the crew to become "ace rimmer" I was palpably pissed while watching recently and the new kochanski is so incredibly bad and she has 0 chemistry with any of the crew even lister falls off because he doesn't have anything to bounce off AKA rimmer banter, the only saving grace is kryton and even then kryton alone couldn't carry it, so fricking disappointing.
Barrie couldn't do Red Dwarf because of a scheduling conflict with The Brittas Empire and TBE was the stronger show for the BBC so it took priority.
rimmer left?
Kind of but not really, he appeared to be written out in Smoke Me A Clipper but he appeared in 2 out of the 6 subsequent episodes in series 7, then he returned and was in every episode from series 8 onwards.
Shutup will you haven't even finished
Yes. The Lister/Rimmer relationship was a vital part of the show. Without Rimmer, it went to pot. The loss of Rob Grant was also a big factor. Most of series 7 wasn't funny, and it felt very different. Series 8 tried to bring back the Porridge in space angle, but failed to recapture the magic, and also wasn't very funny. Back to Earth was terrible. The Dave years aren't perfect, but as they've gone on you can tell everyone's gradually gotten back in the swing of it. But it has never really been the same.
i don't mind season 8
obviously it's below the series up until season 6 but has its moments
it's best to think of series 1-6 as the entire run of a flawless original show and 7 onwards as some wacky reboot that has nothing to do with it.
>Flawless
That weird ass mini-reboot where Kryten is suddenly a crew member at the start of a season is a pretty big flaw.
Isn't that the universal opinion?
they always used canned laughter for old BBC shows like this. the sets were cheap and cramped and there was no room for a studio audience.
rule of thumb for old school bri'ish comedy is that if they don't show you the audience, it's probably not there.
Try again
#t=34m34s
Nope. Don't know why people keep saying this about Alan Partridge too. People complaining about the laugh track when there isn't one.
live studio reactions are recorded by different devices than what records the actor's performances, it is its own "track" that will be primarily "laughter," the various "tracks" are then mixed together for distribution/broadcast.
Series 1-6 are peak uk sitcom perfection
7 is weird, a massive tonal shift due to a the move to shooting on film and Rob Grant exiting the show. Has its moments but still a steep drop in quality.
8 is Men Behaving Badly in space, absolute garbage except for the 'Cassandra' ep which is actually quite good.
Back to Earth had potential but squandered it with weak writing and performances.
10 was surprisingly good, and 11/12 are almost great. Haven't seen The Promised Land yet.
11/12 definitely benefited from being shot together. Though not on par with the very best of the show, it really feels like they managed to get into a good rhythm. It feels right in a way that some of the other stuff didn't.
The writing lets Promised Land down a bit. Given how long the Cats concept has been brewing, it should have been stronger. Not bad, though.
Men Behaving Badly was kino though
It had its moments
>underwear under the garters
rookie move
i hate that i know this is a rookie move
it was never shit, just less good.
newest seasons are surprisingly good tho
Incredibly Reddit show
>LE SMEG HEAD
>YOU FREAKIN wienerWOMBLING SPUNK TRUMPET
frick off
Bazinga! LOL
>no more red dwarf, only starbug
>no more only character everyone bounces off
Well yeah but the modern stuff was also pretty shitty too and it had Rimmer.
>acting and writing predating reddit is reddit
>reddit uses funny words instead of the amerifat political ones Cinemaphile does
Doesn't seem to be. He's phoning it in on the gadget show as hard as all the other product shills on it.
I liked season 10
How dare you have a different opinion.
I'm sending you to the justice zone to think about what you've done.
While I am pretty sure OP probably did watch the show and isnt a zoomer, I can't help with this thread because it's just going to attract zooms
it went to shit when rob grant left. suddenly the characters start acting inconsistent and moronic, and the plots get unbelievably stupid (ie: lister is his own father, kryten is PMSing all the time and sabotages the ship out of jealousy, etc). he tried to shake off rob's 'restrictions' and make the show in his own image, and the results are embarassing.
the show should've ended when rimmer blew up the time drive.
rimmer left?
I only really watched the first 5 series
Only for 4 episodes
To tell the truth I only really liked it when it was Rimmer, Lister and Cat. S1-2. Kryten just didn't click for me.
ARRROOOOWWWWWwwwwww
heyheyheyhey I'm lookin' so good today
I'm lookin' so good I hope nobody tries to steal me
hell if I weren't me, I'd steal me
I wouldn't sell me either, I'd just put me on a shrine and worship my ass until doomsday
I've slept 6 times, eaten 9 times, changed my outfit 11 times, and thrown up in the airduct where no-one will find it for weeks
I hope I don't find a mirror or I might just faint from the blood rushing downstairs all at once
I'm gonna find me a shiny thing, a dangly thing, and if I'm lucky, I'll find something to smell
RAAAARRrooooow
When I was in primary school my home room tutor knew I was into this show and he'd leave a different VHS in my cubby hold each week. One day he stopped and I asked him about it and he got real nervous and said "....I can't do that anymore" and it was then I realized this guy was likely a pedo who wanted to smeg me. True story. Still a great show
