The American version of Red Dwarf is absolute ball-bag.

Which one? There were two separate pilots filmed, they were both shit. Glad neither one made it out of the pilot stage, it would be another embarrassing moment in American TV history, and something Red Dwarf fans would have some 'splaining to do about when telling their friends about the series (Kind of like H2G2 fans with the H2G2 film, hate that thing. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a really great book, you should read it" "Yeah... I saw the movie. Definitely not my cup of tea" *facepalm*).
