Red Dwarf USA...?

[OUTSIDER]

My friend came over tonight and we were talking about Red Dwarf and he told me that there had been plans to make a US version of the show...?...did this ever happen, and if it did what was it like..? if it didn't then does anybody know why..?

BTW if they did make a US version which US actors would you like to take the parts..?

 

[Starfish]

It hasn't happened, as of yet.

I didn't even know about it until you brought it up here.
Who is Mr. Fibble? Is it evil?
I am confused about this show.........Never seen it, so I don't know crap.
How can I tune into this crazy British stuff?
Do tell? Looks like about a 12 on Tabby's psycho scale.

Thanks Todd!

I am looking for the listing. I actually never watch television. I don't know why, just don't. Anyway, I'll check it out. I may need some breifing on what the hell is going on, if I take to it.

i watch it every once in a while but have no clue to whats going on, they always air it when something i like better is on another channel

I don't even know what it is about. I don't get tv guide, so I can't tell when it is on.

Damn, I remember hearing about that and some of the cast members, but I can't recall all of them now. Robert Llewellyn would have reprised his role as Kryten, and Terry Farrell, the actress on "Becker" and "Deep Space Nine", was going to play the Cat. I dunno where they got the brilliant idea to make Cat a female, since it would pretty much kill the whole joke, but who knows?

A pilot was actually filmed and is probably sitting in a can somewhere, never to see the light of day. I can't remember who was going to play Lister and Rimmer...it would have been a disaster, of course.

Anxiously awaiting the RD movie and the next few series. The last one, where they're back on the Dwarf and in prison, was hilarious, as good as the older ones.

Oh smeg! not a female cat.

 

[Weevil]

I've been watching it from the beginning and episodes I've missed I've tried to catch up on when they're repeated and I still don't know what's going on.

Smeg! alright then if you insist. You see there's this spaceship which is trying to get back to earth. Has been for a few million years. So long so that the ship's original cat has evolved into a human being with feline characteristics. There's also this pompous, incompetent dead man who is now a hologram and one orignal bona fide human being member of the crew (Lister). Oh and yes there's Kryton the resident android who thinks he's a butler (he's nothing like Data from Star Trek) and who believes in silicon heaven.

That's the main list of characters apart from Holly the ship's female computer who's prone to sarcasm.

You're all on your own now...Smeg!

Thanks ppman, you are the most helpful! Now, if I could only find out when it is on in Ohio, on PBS. Guess I'll have to stand in the grocery isle to read tv guide.

Thanks GR my pleasure...

...I forgot to mention that the series gave birth to a new profanity - SMEG!

 

[OUTSIDER]

GR you need to see this show if only to see the one where they land on a planet where everything goes backwards or the one where they have to fight a monster made of curry that "they" accidentaly made.

This show sounds like it's right up my ally. I just want to know if I am going to be lost for awhile, and it appears that is the whole point of the show. Getting lost with lost people, or things?

You got that right...

So is anybody going to explain who Mr. Fibble is?

So is anybody going to explain who Mr. Fibble is?

I'd love to help but I'll be damned if I can remember....anybody else know...?

 

[Starfish]

He is a glaring, red eyed, stuffed penguin, that is just adorable. He reminded me of the evil animals from a paralell universe, from the "Aunt Flo" episode of South Park.

Thing I can't figure out is what does he have to do with Red Dwarf. I went to some website and they showed a pic of him, but didn't explain him. Anyway, I'll keep searching on him.

 

[p_p_man]

Mr Fibble

Never heard of him or seen him so I don't think he's in Red Dwarf.

Sounds a good character though...

Okay, This is a picture of Mr. Flibble, as it is spelt properly. It turns out he is high profile journalist, who interviews the stars of Red Dwarf, for some Red Dwarf website. I am truely dissappointed that he isn't on the show.

In the episode where Rimmer is infected and turns into a laser-eyed killer his accomplice is Mr Fibble who has laser eyes too.I don't remember the title but it's the one where Lister,Kryten and the Cat are quarantined.

 

[mig]

I remember more.Lister,Kryten and Cat are exploring a derelict space station.They are attacked by a hologram of a mad scientist but manage to escape.Meanwhile Rimmer has been infected by a radio link and when our heroes return they are forced into quarantine by the mad Rimmer and his puppet Mr Fibble.Rimmer is wearing a gingham dress and a lace bob(?) cap.
