casanovas347 Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Wooohooo! I love it, specially the depressive robot...whats his name again? B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I don't know about it. I tried episode one but it seemed a poor show to me compared to the original. I don't think the magic of the original can be recreated despite a few old names in the cast list. Maybe I'll warm to it. Marvin was the paranoid android.

medjuck Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Obviously the new ones weren't written by the late Douglas Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hard to say if this will work out or not. History says it won't be so great. What is your favorite form of HHGG? I like the books best, then the radio shows (yes, I know they were first), then the DVD of the shows. I also have the computer game floating around somewhere, but I just never got far enough into it to enjoy it. Anyway, what about Red Dwarf? Any fans here? I thought the last season or two wasn't that good, but I am still looking forward to the movie, which is (was) shooting in Australia. At least they do have the original cast and many of the original writers/producers. If it does well, they might consider another season or two of Red Dwarf.

Jazzmoose Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Books then radio shows for me as well. As far as Red Dwarf, it didn't do a thing for me. If I'm going to watch a show with a color in the title, I'll go with Red Green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 There is also a movie in development. starring the actor who played Tim on The Office, as I read on IMDB. fantastic casting, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 There is a Java version of the game floating around somewhere. I dug the first few episodes of Red Dwarf that I saw--I remember thinking at the time that it was some of the funniest stuff I had ever seen (I was about 15 or 16). Guess I kind of got bored with it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
