I've seen very few shows that were re-makes of British shows that actually made it in America. "Three's Company" is the only one I can think of that was good.


Amazing. I never knew "Three's Company" was a British remake. Learn something new. And yeah. I'm also glad that The Amarican version did not take off. The lister failure. Looks like a looser not something that crawled right out of a toilet.

"Three's Company, though otherwise apolitical in content, was the first sitcom to address the sexual implications and frustrations of co-ed living, which in 1977 was still somewhat taboo. In the minds of many, male-female cohabitation was anything but innocent and, apparently, would lead only to the evils of premarital sex. Three's Company toyed with this dilemma in its premise, an Americanized version of the 1973-76 British TV comedy Man About the House."
I've never seen man About the House, so I don't know how close the two shows were.

Wow. I've just been blinded by a terrible picture! What were they thinking?! Cat is not a woman! Rimmer and Lister look like girls! And where is Kryten? Egads! What a mess!

I think blind might be preferable to seeing anyone other than our originals playing the RD crew! biggrin

xd I hate to say it, but I actually saw parts of the American RD pilot on some show... it was a show that made it a point to show all the pilots of TV shows that never made it into a show. When I saw the RD opening, I was like, "What the? Red Dwarf DID become a show!" but then, I saw more... and almost died. Truly, a weird moment.

Well, the pilot is the first episode of a series. Recall that Kryten wasn't even in any episode of the first season...
