Once upon a time in Dallas... [bad taste alert]

The mining ship Red Dwarf has run out of curry powder and so they time travel back to 20th century earth to get some, and blunder into a Dallas scene on a certain occasion. The episode is Tikka To Ride, and one of my all-time favorites of this sublimely silly, well-written series.

Hilarious! I must have fallen asleep during hour 27 of the last Red Dward marathon.

Thank you for posting that. My Dearly Beloved hadn't seen that one, He LOVED it. His sense of humor is as twisted as my own.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Be sure to give the Doglet a pet from me.

That one was freaking funny as they get.
Priceless!

Hilarious. That show kills me. Wish they'd show it again down here, but our PBS station is all about easy listening crap and "Are You Being Served", over and over again. Crapola. You gotta love the audacity of this. Punch a hole in something sacred and let the hot air out.

I just realized the date. Duuuh.

fathairybastard - yeah - Red Dwarf is certainly not in frequent enough rotation here. AYBS? is a funny show, but RD is much more current. I'm with you on serving up a dish of sacred cow pie.
