I imagine this is how...Please, please, please, NO.<br /><br />I imagine this is how it feels like to see the shambling zombie corpse of a loved one staggering toward you with outstretched arms. Despair, terror, hope, disgust, a small shameful scintilla of unspeakable sexual excitement, morbid curiosity, and a desire to break out in something that may be tears, may be laughter, or may be both.<br /><br /><br />What's horrible is that Red Dwarf with everybody older and more depressed could actually make a great sitcom - particularly if they went back to something more like the trapped-in-a-box black comedy of the first two, maybe three seasons, rather than the zany hijinks they favoured later (not that I didn't love series 4-6, but I think the age works better with the darker, more sitting-around-oriented style). <br /><br />6 classic seasons. How frightfully depressing to realise that, for example, something like "Will and Grace" managed to rack up nearly FIVE AND A HALF TIMES as many episodes (substitute for your own hated major US comedy series, if your tastes differ from mine). There's no justice in comedy.Wastrelhttp://vacuouswastrel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
