  ^{i will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch}
  

  meh
  
  i vaguely remember finding parts of season 8 funny when i was younger but that may have been only in relation to the extreme tedium of much of season 7
  
  although season 7 at least had the rimmer munchkin song

  The only thing I remember about season 8 was Rimmer kicking Death in the balls.

  I have never seen Red Dwarf and am not entirely sure what it's about

  
  

  it's like a parody of Star Trek right?

  It's a slacker sitcom, IN SPACE!
  
  They did parody Star Trek at times, but mostly it's its own thing.  The science fiction is more often used to create funny situations, rather than to parody other shows.

  its a sci-fi sitcom that doesnt really rely on parody, though it does that sometimes
  
  it was well written and reasonably clever, with very distinctive worldbuilding going on
  
  after season 6 there was some sort of shuffling of personnel in the writing department and season 7 was kinda boring and then season 8 was a trainwreck of multi-part episodes full of dumb, gross and non-functional humor and shoddy CGI

  this was my fave scene (from season 4 i think?)
  
  
  
  endless recursion of time before there was endless recursion of time

  My dreams exceed my real life

  I stopped watching at Season 7, because I heard Season 8 was really bad.

  
  

  This is unlike Twin Peaks, where I'd heard that the latter half of season 2 was really bad, but I wanted to see the beloved final episode and the movie.

  
  

  So I had to suffer through Windom Earle's antics, the rare endangered Pine Weasel, and James Hurley off fucking around outside Twin Peaks doing God knows what.

  The Mysterious Ballerina and her Tree Stump Ghosts

  I was actually rewatching Red Dwarf. Except season 6, because I'm not that far gone yet
  
  
  
  Maybe Starbug actually does explode at the end of the season and that 'To Be Continued' shall never be fulfilled
