it kind of went down the hill gradually, slowly and then made a sharp almost completely vertical drop with the introduction of Kochanski.

on the other hand: "it's not a barroom brawl, it's a barroom tidy!!"

I love red dwarf, there are great episodes in all the seasons. Although the first few seasons were definitely my favorite.

The standard of the later series was terrible. There was wit in the first couple of series that they replaced with shitty toilet humour and one liners that would stop a group of giggling stoners instantly.

I've bought up to Series VI. I would buy the later two if one of them featured the US pilot as one of the special features, but neither appear to. Damn shame.

Didn't season 5 have that? Or maybe it just had snippets.

One of them had a documentary about it, but apart from clips of it, it didn't have the US pilot itself. Is The Office USA available on DVD in the UK yet?

didnt they lose half the writing team in series 7. plus. got rid of rimmer. added whatsherface. got rid of live audience. ... series 7 n 8 are terrible compared to the rest. i guess you could say 6 isnt as good as 1. or 1 isnt as good as 6. but it really seems once you get to 7 n 8 the show just really starts to stink... even tho there are some jokes... SOME

I believe Rob Grant left the series after VI... As far as I know, Naylor was good at coming up with plotlines and Rob Grant was good at coming up with jokes... maybe that's why the jokes run thin and slow in the last two series.

yeah. but even the stories are no way near as smart as they used to be.
the smartest thing i can think of would the thing with Red dwarf crew going back in time to destroy the ship (and time machine) in which case they couldnt go back in time so they stay alive... and also the last episode of 8 wasnt too bad.
but still not as crazy as future echoes or white hole and such.

I know it wasnt as good but I never thought it was a particularly dramatic decline, there were many good episodes with the kochanski

I don't think she was cast very well - we all pretty much knew Kochanski as played by Claire Grogan, who looks like a tough little nut, kind of weird and then all of a sudden here comes this Lady.
it just didn't work very well, her whole role didn't work very well, I think.
