For those who’ve seen both pilot episodes, what do you think of the US (unaired) pilot?
I liked the humor of it and I did not get hung up on the fact that it’s different from the UK pilot episode (The End).
It majorly sucked. But then, so did the UK one at first. It took a few episodes, or even an entire season for the UK version to grow on me.
“…Talkie’s the name, toastin’s the game.”
It’s been awhile, but I remember thinking that the US version felt really watered down.
I’ve never seen the US version, but I have been catching some of the UK episodes on a North Carolina cable station. I have to say that this is one of the few British comedy imports that just doesn’t do it for me. What am I missing?
Depends a lot on what series you’re watching i think. Plus some episodes have dated very badly.
I always found the series’ that had them on the starbug (or whatever it was) were stronger than the ones where they were on Red Dwarf. I can’t remember where in the run though.
